Disney Cruise Line quietly removed all remaining May 2021 sailings from their online booking page to prevent further bookings, but the cruises remain on guest reservations, therefore the voyages are NOT cancelled at this time. Select early May sailings aboard the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder from Miami and San Diego were previously cancelled in late-January when the all of the April 2021 date were cancelled.
The removal of sailings from further booking comes about a week since Disney pulled the Alaskan cruises stemming from Canada’s extended cruise ban – those remain booked and even Royal Caribbean isn’t ready to cancel Alaska, and months after the CDC allowed the No Sail Order to expire and issued framework for the conditional sailing of cruise ships within the jurisdiction of the United States. While some cruise lines cancelled further out last week when Disney just cancelled March departures, the removal of sailings from online booking has previously been a precursor to another round of cancellations.
The following May 2021 sailings are no longer listed as bookable cruise, but are NOT cancelled:

Again, it is important to keep in mind, these sailings listed above are NOT officially cancelled, the sailings remain listed on guest’s reservations.
The removal could just be Disney’s way to limit further bookings in order to limit capacity for onboard physical distancing and required quarantine stateroom inventory if the ships are able to resume sailing under restrictive guidelines. Alternatively, they could simply be preventing any further bookings until they have a better idea what the future holds based on the framework recently issued by the CDC.
I stress, please note, at this time, this is information is based on an observation and should not be considered fact until any official announcement is made by Disney Cruise Line. Please do not call Disney based on this posting, as nothing has officially changed.
We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates when applicable.
So I guess my may 22nd sailing is a no go……?
Are you still sailing in July?
Probably… I was booked on that one and chose to cancel considering the situation in Europe.
I was booked on Fantasy for May 22nd…..Still have my Merrytime booked for nov and a 7 night May 2022.
