Today, however, we’ve got some big news from Disney Cruise Line that pertains to policy changes due to Coronavirus. Guests who have tickets to sail on Disney Cruse Line any time between now and May 31st are being given the opportunity to cancel their cruise up until the day before embarkation. Guests who decide to do so will receive a 100% credit for the cost of their canceled cruise that MUST be used on a future sailing date within 12 months of the original cruise date. (To clarify, no reimbursement or refunds will be given, but guests may cancel and reschedule their cruise using the credit.) Although the cruise line is taking every precaution possible to ensure guest safety, this option is a helpful accommodation to cruisers that are worried about contracting Coronavirus or being stuck on a ship that is quarantining a Coronavirus patient.

(The Bahamas and Castaway Cay as well as Jamaica have specific thresholds barring some guests from entering based on their travel in the last 14-20 days.)
