After sailings disappearances today, Disney Cruise Line officially announced in an abundance of caution, will suspend all cruises through April 13th joining other CLIA member cruise lines in their 30 day shutdown.

The Disney Dream will lose at least 8 sailings losing 28-nights, Disney Fantasy 5 sailings losing 35-nights, Disney Magic 7 sailings losing 33-nights, and the Disney Wonder 6 sailings losing 30-nights.

The following sailings are impacted by this latest round of cancelations.

Initial word is Disney Cruise Line will offer guests the choice of a 125% cruise credit to be used for a future sailing within 15 months of their original sail date, or a full refund. If guests or clients select a future cruise credit and are not able to use it, they will be eligible for a refund up to the amount they paid in full. Standard prevailing rates will apply for future cruises.

Guests impacted by the cancellation wishing to move to a future date will eventually receive an email with details on how to apply their cruise credit to a future sailing.

For those guests booked on cruises between April 13 – May 31, 2020 now have the option to book a new sailing within the next 15 months, instead of the previously announced 12 months. More specifically, all guests scheduled to depart on the Disney Magic between April 13 and May 8, 2020, and the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Wonder between April 13 and May 31, 2020, can change their reservation up until the day before embarkation and receive a 100% cruise credit to be used for a future sailing within 15 months of their original sail date. Guests who booked their reservation through a travel agent should contact them directly to make any modifications and those who booked directly with Disney Cruise Line should call us at 1-866-325-2112 or 407-566-3510. The credit is non-refundable and standard prevailing rates will apply.

Furthermore, Disney Cruise Line addressed the Canadian government’s decision to delay the start of the cruise season Until at least July 1st directly impacting Disney Wonder sailings beyond mid-April which disappeared from the booking page earlier today. Disney Cruise Line is currently evaluating various options and has not made changes to any itineraries. Once a decision is made, Disney Cruise Line will reach out to guests booked on these sailings. 

Given the higher than normal call volume at the in this chaotic time, guests are asked to wait to until after receiving an email from Disney Cruise Line.

Additionally, those clients will now have 15 months to travel from the time of their original sailing. You will receive a SeaMail for your clients with reservations during that timeframe in the coming days.

I set up sailings for each ship for those interested in keeping track of the fleet during the temporary shutdown. Each sailing will be updated daily with “at sea” set as the default for each day until we learn otherwise.
