Disney Cruise Line Quietly Added a Dozen April & May 2023 Sailings

As part of the ongoing housekeeping on the site ahead of the upcoming Summer 2023 itinerary release, I discovered a number of sailings that were missing when compared to the April and May 2023 sailings listed on Disney Cruise Line’s website prior to their reservation system going down for an upgrade on Monday.

In total, I found 12 new sail dates ranging from April 1, 2023 to May 27, 2023 aboard the Disney Magic, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy. A handful of these dates were brand new itineraries – meaning they were not previously in our historical itinerary listing, and required the creation of itinerary maps.

Disney Magic

There are 3 new sail dates for the Disney Magic which in April 2023 is sailing out of New Orleans. These are simply additional sail dates with previously announced itineraries.

There are 3 new Disney Dream sail dates in April 2023, the most notable are a 7-night Eastern and a 7-Night Western Caribbean cruise from Miami on the Disney Dream.

The itineraries are identical in terms of port order as the Disney Fantasy’s standard Caribbean offerings from Port Canaveral.

I will admit, I have no idea when these sailings were added, but I did speak with one individual who is adamant these were not available last week when they were searching for April sailings from New Orleans.

    I think they’ve been out for a while. There are FB groups for those sailings, some were created back in January or February.

      Strange for sure. I know I missed them, but they at least made a mini announcement when they filled in the Wonder itinerary gap – this would have been great opportunity to say “we also have these dates”.
