On Monday, the Disney Cruise Line announced ‘magical rates’ for Bahamian and Caribbean cruises in February and March of 2008. Special rates are available for 3, 4 and 7-night cruises of the Caribbean for select dates. The catch – you have to book your trip by January 20, 2008.

Here are the dates and rates (these are single rates, based on double occupance) from the Disney Cruise Line website. Note all of these rates are listed as “starting from”:

3-Night Bahamian Cruise:

• 2/7/08: $349
• 2/24/08: $469
• 2/21/08: $429
• 2/28/08: $429
• 3/6/08: $499
• 3/13/08: $499

4-Night Bahamian Cruise:

• 2/17/08: $699
• 2/24/08: $579
• 3/2/08: $579
• 3/9/08: $699

3 Nights on Land & 4 Nights at Sea Cruise:

• 2/21/08: $1089
• 2/28/08: $1089

4 Nights on Land & 3 Nights at Sea Cruise:

• 2/24/08: $999
• 3/2/08: $1,089
• 3/9/08: $999

8-Night Western Caribbean Cruise (this is the one I want to go on!):

• 3/8/08: $999

7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise:

• 2/16/08: $999
• 3/29/08: $1,089

Now, here are the disclaimers:

• Rates are for stateroom category 12
• Children’s rates are available for ages 3-12 travelling with two adults in the same stateroom (that seems like a strange one – why only if they’re traveling with two adults?)
• Government taxes, fees and excursions are not included
• Subject to availability
• Rates in U.S. dollars
• Complete details are available on the Disney Cruise Line terms and conditions page.

Sounds like a great way to take a fun (and warm) winter vacation! What do you think of these special rates? They’re only available from January 14 – January 20, 2008. Is that too short of a timeframe for people to be able to plan a trip or is it just what we need to jumpstart planning a vacation?
