Disney Cruise Line announces the cancellation of additional sailing aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Magic, and Disney Fantasy through Sunday May 17, 2020 following the CDC’s extension of the No Sail Order.

In line with this direction and with the wellbeing of our guests and team members as our top priority, we are reaching out to all guests booked on departures of the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Magic through Sunday May 17, 2020, to advise that these sailings have been cancelled.

When does evryunevtjjnk they will realistically sail again?
Once we have a treatment or vaccine for COVID that doesn’t risk overwhelming our health care system. I think that’s 15-18 months from now. I’ve rescheduled our cruise for a year from now; I’m not terribly optimistic, though I remain hopeful.
Not until they can show compliance with the new (enhanced safety) rules listen in the no-sail order
They would of extended for another 30 days if there was hope. 100 days means indefinite and could be 365 days easily . Without cure the virus will spread for 2 years
Being a little bit on the inside of the COVID crisis, fall may be reasonable for sailing to resume unless we start seeing widespread outbreaks in September/October time frame.
As long as sporting events with fans are cancelled, cruising will likely be cancelled . It is a bit unethical to take reservations for May and June sailings when we know they won’t happen. Bait and switch
CDĆs newest order: July 23. So what´s next. Are the ships going to sail elsewhere to avoid bankruptcy ocy?
I have a cruise for June 5th. Do you think I should be proactive and call them or wait for them to contact me? I don’t need a refund, but I’m thinking I would get more incentives by waiting,
I will not tell you what you should do, this is decision everyone needs to make on their own. However, we have summer cruises booked, and we have no plans to cancel ourselves.
Carnival announced today (4/13) that they have cancelled all cruises worldwide until June 26. I am sure all cruise lines will follow suit within the next few days. Remember this could also be extended as time goes by.
