No Sail Order

[smheese]

Disney's website still says they are only cancelling cruises through mid May however my understanding is the CDC. no sail order supersedes that? Will cruises leaving port in June be cancelled? Specifically we are looking at Southern Caribbean. Also if Disney cancels the cruise and we are not able to rebook we do get a full refund, is that correct? (Do not have insurance on it, but I assume if THEY have to cancel, it would be refunded). Thank you for any info you can help with.

Well, there are conditions for ending the no sail order:

 

The CDC can rescind or modify the order, depending on whether the cruise line has met the requirements regarding plans for handling the virus onboard. 

These plans would help prevent, mitigate, and respond to the spread of COVID-19, by:

• monitoring of passengers and crew medical screenings;
• training crew on COVID-19 prevention;
• managing and responding to an outbreak on board; and
• submitting a plan to USCG and CDC for review

 

Or the health emergency being deemed "over" will end the order.

 

Or 100 days has elapsed. And, of course, the CDC could make a new order at that time.

Yes, if Disney cancels the cruise, they will offer you a refund.  For the cruises they have already cancelled, they have been offering guests the choice of 125% future cruise credit or 100% refund.  I'm not sure if they will continue with the cruise credit (I would suspect they will as they would like to hold onto the cash), but, yes, you would definitely be entitled to a refund.

We are on the June 27 fantasy cruise and as of now the cruise hasn’t been cancelled. I did cancel our air on United because right now I can cancel and still get a credit. And if the cruise still goes I know I can get the air even cheaper.
