Castaway club benefits

[PantherFan]

I am getting ready for my next Disney cruise--haven't done one since 2005 and I forget.:rolleyes:

 

As a Castaway Club member to you get any benefits like $ off the room?

 

I think last time we just went to a party onboard.

 

I haven't received any special perks so just wondering what the Castaway Club card is for.

Thanks

As a CC member, you will get lanyards for your KTTW card upon checkin. You will get a gift in your stateroom, presently a nice canvas bag, a mesh bag, 2 water bottles, a pen and notebook, and a stack toy.

You will be invited to a "party" on board to meet the captain.

IF you rebook onboard, you will get a 10% discount on that reservation.

You probably don't really need the card. Your number is saved in the computer.

What happens if only one out of two cruisers is a member? Does the second person get to attend the reception as well? I know he/she won't get the gift in the room.

Also, what about checking in? I'm a member,but my mom is not...

Your Mom can attend the reception with you, you will get a paper invitation that you have to bring with you.

The return cruiser gift is one per cabin, so you wouldn't get a second gift anyway.

You can check in together, I would recommend checking in online and printing the necessary forms to bring with you to the check-in desk.

Sometimes the regular line at the port moves faster than the CC line.

Thanks,

 

I guess I don't remember the gift part or the 10% off--I am going book onboard then!:)

Another perk is that you're able to book excursions, spa treatments, and meals at Palo 90 days ahead. Everyone else (unless you're in a category 1-3 stateroom) have to wait till 75 days ahead. It really does make a difference. You can begin booking at midnight via the Disney Cruise line webpage. You'll just need to register as a Castaway Club member ahead of time and have your reservation number to log-in.

When does the Castaway Club number come in the mail?

Ours came a month or two after we got back, I believe. If you want the numbers sooner, just contact DCL. They will give you the number.

I still haven't got my cards (6 months later), but I have the number from calling.

I haven't ever needed the cards. The number is in the system, and in my TA profile, which seems to be all that is needed. I have never needed my DVC card either.
