Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're budget conscious and you don't have a lot of vacation time, but you still want to kind of get away from it all, a short day cruise can give that to you.

It's going to be a rushed experience. So, you're going to try to jam everything you possibly can in three days.

For the cheap price of $6,000, you can go on an interior cruise for three days on Disney.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Short cruises are great for testing the waters if you are nervous about cruising or motion sickness.
If you live far from the port, flying in for a 3-day cruise might not be worth the airfare and hotel costs.
Consider booking two short cruises back-to-back to create a longer vacation experience.
