After a long time of living with strict travel restrictions, many people are ready to get out and vacation again. And it turns out that a lot of those people are looking at cruises for their summer trip! If you’ve got a Disney cruise planned for sometime in the future we’ve got some news that could affect your vacation plans.
The Disney Cruise Line has made many alterations over the last couple of years as health and safety policies changed. Payment policies, cancelation rules, face mask mandates, and more have all been updated several times. Now, we’ve got a new update.
Disney Cruise Line has updated their flexibility, cancelation, and payment policies. Now, for all cruises sailing on or before September 30th, 2022, guests can change their sail date for their Disney cruise up to 15 days prior to the ship’s departure. Guests can change their cruise to any date before September 30th, 2023.
Disney Cruise Line also made some adjustments to their Extended Final Payment option. Now, for all sailings through March 31st, 2023, guests can make their final payments up to 60 days prior to sailing. This applies to all guests booked in unrestricted stateroom categories.
The cancelation fee schedule has also been relaxed, so for all sailings through March 31st, 2023, the cancelation fees will only apply if you cancel within 59 days of departure.
