Correction: Disney Dream August 30th sailing was initially reported as 2020. This has been corrected to reflect 2019 with the correct weekdays.
Wow…is it too late to get booked on this 3 night that is suddenly a 5 night? 😉
Except for the travel planning…this would be a bonus!!!
Would really have been upset if I were booked on the 4 night that changed to a 2 night!!
This is pretty much the identical itinerary that the Dream will be sailing in November 2020, her 2nd cruise after dry dock. She’ll also be sailing her inaugural 7 Night cruise that month as well, the first cruise after dry dock.
This is obviously to avoid the hurricane, but for 2020 I assume Disney is ONLY doing those two itineraries so that they can remain off sync to the Disney Fantasy.
Scott,
Have you heard anything about Castaway Cay. It appears Dorian will be very close. Has the island been evacuated? Any news you can provide would be appreciated.
