When Disney Cruise Line revised the 8-Night sailings out of Galveston, only guests affected by the changes were able to book the new itineraries. Today, the new 4-Night Caribbean (listed as 4SG online) and the 8-Night Bahamian Cruise on the [Disney_Magic] are available to book online.
8-Night Bahamian Cruise on Disney Magic
The 8-night Bahamas sailings include a day at Key West, Disney’s Castaway Cay, and a stop at Port Canaveral, Florida. Unique to this itinerary is that all guests will receive a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket and round-trip transportation between their Disney ship and the resort. Rates start at $960 per person for a standard inside stateroom (based on double occupancy). Taking in consideration that a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket is $125 ($118 ages 3-9), and typical resort-to-port ground transportation is $70/person round trip the total cost per person for the cruise would be $765. Essentially, Disney is bundling a Port Adventure to Walt Disney World into the cruise fare. This is not optional, I am just breaking down the costs by pointing out the value of the Disney tickets and transfers, if you were to pay for them out of pocket based on listed prices.

This cruise is not easy to find online as it is labeled 4SG, and does not include an itinerary. To book this cruise you will need to do a search for 0-4 night Caribbean sailings out of Galveston. I’m sure it is just a matter of time before Disney Cruise Line’s Galveston page is fully updated.
