Additionally, Disney Cruise Line extended their temporarily relaxing of cruise cancellation fee schedule for sailings through September 30, 2021.

*This temporary Cruise Date Flexibility is valid for new and existing reservations booked prior to April 30, 2021, and allows Guests to change their departure up to 15 days before their sailing for any cruise departing through September 30, 2021. Guests that wish to change their sail date must move to a future sailing that commences on or before September 30, 2022. Prevailing rates apply and Guests are responsible for any balance due after the reservation has been modified. Guests are unable to return to their original sail date once the reservation has been changed. Should you cancel your new sail date, any cancellation fees applicable to the original sail date will be deferred and applied as a minimum cancellation fee to the future sailing. Standard air cancellation fees apply for Guests who booked flights through Disney Cruise Line.
