Yes, all November cruises have been removed. The questions now are will they be cancelled, and if so, when?

Wow. Crazy. I feel for cruise companies right now

Just got the cancellation e-mail, All Disney Dream sailing cancelled through 11/08/2020.

I'm glad you can move on now... and I'm sorry it took them so long!

No EBPC cruise. Expected, but now official.

In alignment with yesterday's announcement from Cruise Lines International Association regarding the voluntary extension of suspended passenger operations from U.S. ports until at least October 31, 2020, Disney Cruise Line is cancelling Disney Wonder sailings through November 6, 2020. This means that your sailing has been cancelled.

Thanks for posting!

Yep, got my cancellation email for our Oct 12th cruise on the Wonder. Now to call and apply it to our November 2021 double dip

November 7, Magic, cancelled.

To be fair, I don't think they know. CDC guidelines are a work in progress and they will have a lot of influence.

Mine is paid because this was one I took FCC on. But I’ve a November 2021 booked and it could pay for that one

Just got my cancellation emails for our two concierge rooms for the October 2nd cruise on the Dream.

This is so sad. My sister works for DCL and I just can’t imagine what will happen to them the longer this goes on. And with it being hard to see how cruises can safely resume, I’m really scared and nervous for her. I’m disappointed that our March 2021 cruise on the Magic is in jeopardy, but this upsets me more because of her job.

Will do, got to. My next DCL cruise just went from 8 weeks away to 8 months away. Ouch! Hopefully that will be enough time to get the boats out of time out.

Yes. As much as I miss the vacation piece, I think we also have to realize how many employees have been impacted by this both on land and those who actually work on the ships.

Random thought / question - we moved all our funds from our cancelled cruise in May to a new booking for next May. We are likely going to cancel as we would like those funds back with how things are going. My question is: does anyone know if it is possible for Disney to refund the "overpayment" at this point (PIF isn't due till December) and just hold my deposit, so that cancelling wouldn't be necessary yet? I'm sure that isn't likely but wondered if anyone knew.

If I understand what you are trying to do (get a refund on your FFC less the minimal amount deposited necessary on the 2021 cruise), I'd say that's a bad idea. The first question I would have is did you get the extra 25% as FCC on the 2020 cruise? By asking for anything back I'd think you would be forfeiting that extra 25%. But even if you didnt get that extra 25% I'd think that what you are asking is so out of the norm that you would be taking a risk of things getting FUBARed and creating a big mess that takes a lot of energy to untangle.

I'd either leave things be or cancel completely for a deposit.

Agree. I remember when I moved the cruise she asked if I wanted to stay as Paid in Full, which I thought was an odd question? So I was wondering if there was some other option I was unaware of. Agreed it would be a big mess most likely.

That is an odd question. Hopefully someone with actual experience will chime in. I just know if I tried to do it something would go spectacularly wrong and it would probably mean about 15 hours on the phone to untangle.

Was looking at booking the western Caribbean cruise on 6th December this year

what do you think the chances are of this actually happening
