KEY TAKEAWAYS
Book a Disney Cruise Line stateroom with me by Nov 30, 2026, and I'll add $250 to $1,600 in onboard credit, based on your stateroom total.
Reservations you move to me from Disney Cruise Line within 30 days of booking get half the new-booking amount.
The credit is per stateroom and starts at a $3,000 stateroom total.
I add it about a week before you sail, and it covers most charges on your onboard account.
Cancel and the credit goes away. It has no cash value.
THROUGH NOV 30, I'm adding more onboard credit than I usually do to Disney Cruise Line staterooms booked with me, Disney Believe included. It's a flat dollar amount per stateroom, set by your stateroom total, so you'll know your number before you pay a deposit.
I'm a Platinum Castaway Club member and have sailed 7 Disney Cruise Line ships. The credit is my thank-you for booking with me. The planning comes with it: picking the sailing and stateroom that fit your group, and holding your choice when your booking window opens.
How much onboard credit will I get?
NEW BOOKING WITH ME
$3,000 to $4,999: $250
$5,000 to $7,499: $400
$7,500 to $9,999: $600
$10,000 to $14,999: $800
$15,000 to $19,999: $1,200
$20,000 and up: $1,600
MOVED TO ME FROM DISNEY CRUISE LINE
$3,000 to $4,999: $125
$5,000 to $7,499: $200
$7,500 to $9,999: $300
$10,000 to $14,999: $400
$15,000 to $19,999: $600
$20,000 and up: $800
For example, a stateroom that totals $5,600 gets $400, and one that totals $10,200 gets $800. Onboard credit starts at a $3,000 stateroom total.
What counts toward my stateroom total?
The cruise fare plus taxes, fees and port expenses for everyone in that stateroom, as it shows on your Disney Cruise Line reservation. Travel insurance, flights, hotels, transfers to the port and Port Adventures don't count.
Which bookings qualify?
New bookings: a new Disney Cruise Line reservation you make with me between Oct 7 and Nov 30, on any sailing.
Bookings you move to me: a reservation you made directly with Disney Cruise Line, including one you booked onboard with a placeholder, that isn't paid in full. Disney Cruise Line moves a reservation to an advisor only within 30 days of when you made it, so send me your signed transfer form by Nov 30, and within 30 days of when you booked. After the move, changes and payments go through me.
Not included: reservations on a group rate, or placeholders.

When will my onboard credit show up?
I add it about a week before you sail. You'll see it once you're onboard, under your stateroom charges in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app after you connect to the ship's Wi-Fi.
What can I use it for?
Almost any charge on your stateroom account:
adults-only dining like Palo or Enchanté (depending on the ship)
drinks and specialty coffees
Port Adventures booked through Disney Cruise Line
spa treatments, onboard or at Castaway Cay
Wi-Fi packages
souvenirs and photos
gratuities charged onboard
Port Adventures, activities and adults-only dining you reserve before you sail go on your onboard account when you board, so the credit covers those too. It doesn't cover purchases you make in port, excursions you book with other companies, gratuities you prepay before sailing, gifts you order before sailing, or a deposit on a future cruise.
What if my plans change?
You cancel: the credit goes away. You get it when you sail, and it can't move to another booking.
Your fare, stateroom or guests change: the credit follows the stateroom total you pay, so it can move up or down a row. A free upgrade from Disney Cruise Line doesn't change it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the onboard credit per person or per stateroom?
Per stateroom. Each stateroom in your group gets its own credit, based on its own total.
Can I combine it with Disney Cruise Line's offers?
Yes, it works alongside Disney Cruise Line's own promotions and onboard credit, as long as your rate pays an advisor commission. A few rates don't, such as cast member and travel industry rates, and those don't qualify. You can't combine it with onboard credit from another travel agency on the same reservation.
Does the onboard credit expire?
Yes. Use it on the sailing you booked. Any balance left at the end of your cruise can't be exchanged for cash, a refund or future cruise credit.
Do staterooms under $3,000 get onboard credit?
No. The credit starts at a $3,000 stateroom total.
Fine print
Onboard credit from Gabe Travels, one per stateroom. I can't split it across staterooms or combine credit from several reservations.
I can change or end this offer at any time. If you booked under it, I'll honor the amount that applied when you booked, unless your stateroom total changes.
This offer comes from Gabe Travels, not Disney Cruise Line.
