21/08/2024

Today, Disney Cruise Line began notifying guests booked on the following two November 2025 Disney Dream sailing sailings from Fort Lauderdale that their cruise has been cancelled due to “operational need.”

If you were booked on either sailing, keep an eye on your email for more information from Disney Cruise Line on the cancellation and future cruise discount offer.

Guests who were booked on the cancelled sailings will be refunded to the original form of payment. The cruise line is extending a 20% discount on a future sailing departing on or before September 3, 2026.

Based on operational needs, the length of your sailing is being adjusted. To facilitate this adjustment, your reservation has been cancelled and any funds applied to your reservation have been refunded back to the original form of payment

At this time, the 9-nights are up in limbo, but similar things have happened in the past when the ship is privately chartered.
