Disney4me Posted May 12, 2020 Report Posted May 12, 2020 Who’s dreaming of setting sail on a Disney Cruise?? The Disney Wonder We love the totally immersive experience that Disney Cruise Line gives us! But with the current increased health and safety concerns about cruising, we wanted to know how our readers feel about getting back on board. Currently, all Disney Cruise Line departures through June 18th are canceled, and Vancouver and European sailings are postponed even longer (through June 30th and July 2nd, respectively.) So, when the ships do take to the high seas again, would you be ready to set sail with Captain Mickey? The cruise industry has taken a serious hit in consumer confidence amid the current shutdowns. With stories of passengers falling ill and ships anchored off the coast, people are understandably concerned about boarding a cruise ship when sailings resume. When Disney Cruise Line does begin sailing again, we’ll almost certainly see some changes to the way things are run. While Disney hasn’t announced any decisions yet, CNBC reported that changes could include the elimination of buffet-style dining, increased medical screenings, and fewer passengers per sailing.

Many people said they aren’t convinced that enough can be done to ensure the health of passengers on board, and several said they’re waiting until a vaccine is available. “Honestly, it may not feel ‘safe’ to me for at least a year or two. Or if a vaccine is created soon.” ©Disney Another reader had similar thoughts about holding out to make sure health measures are working. “Not for a year once this all clears, just to be safe.” We asked our readers when they would feel safe returning to Walt Disney World and here’s what they said “I Don’t Plan on Cruising Ever Again” And some readers don’t think they’ll ever feel comfortable enough to cruise. 8% said they’ll never go on another Disney Cruise. Some of these respondents mentioned that this situation reaffirms their previously held concerns. “Can’t really see myself cruising again. It’s always made me a bit uneasy.” Disney Cruise Line Some pointed out that despite the high standards of health and cleanliness on Disney Cruise Line, the risk is still too high for them. “I would feel more comfortable going on a Disney Cruise than any other cruise, but I still wouldn’t.” So, our readers hold a variety of opinions about when they’ll feel safe to sail on another Disney Cruise! While some are confident in Disney’s ability to maintain a clean and safe environment, others plan to hold out a bit longer for a vaccine. And some are leery about ever returning to the high seas.
