Are we sure its not intentional..? I imagine having shallower water if you have younger kids is great.
The above photo of my kids shows the back rope that you're not supposed to swim past. Ankle deep at best. This was on the Fantasy 8 nighter last October.
Yep. I believe so. Someone else mentioned the Dream going into drydock in October. It would make sense to me to just go ahead and throw it in there now. In my opinion, rushing to get it operational to be able to sail for only 1 month before taking it in seems almost counter-productive.

Agree that was likely hurricane-related. Even if it is not right after a direct hurricane hit, storm activity is peaking in October, and that pulls sand up. We were there in mid-November and it was back to normal--we were paddling around 10 feet from the shore.I think that was not long after a Hurricane Dorian went through last year in late August. I was there in early September 2019 and yes, all of the sand was blown into the beach areas.
Disney will have it fixed one day, I'm sure. They have in the past after a storm has gone through.
This is Serenity Bay in front of the bar.

We were at the family beach in three locations: near the Pelican plunge in the morning, at the ropes course later in the afternoon (water was so deep near at the ropes course even I couldn't touch the sand), and then snorkel area. Can't speak to the cabanas.Which beach? The photo is from the cabana beach (family cabanas) and from what I've heard before the shutdown, it's still shallow.

I was hoping they would dredge the cabana beach during this down time with no cruisers on the beach. As you can tell from the photo, it's pretty shallow. Considering the cost of cabanas, I was hoping they would give some extra attention to fixing up that beach while we're gone. On another note, looking at the photos is kind of depressing me since we have no option to go on a Disney Cruise right now. Could have a million dollar bill in my pocket and still can't go on a Disney Cruise. I wish one of the other cruise lines would hurry up and be "the first one in the pool" so DCL can observe, make adjustments and then get started themselves. Seems like that's what they're waiting for, a canary in the coal mine.
I think the islands under EU jurisdiction don't follow the EU closures like that. They aren't part of the Schengen area (as far as I know), so they make their own rules. I know at least the Dutch isles are doing that (even didn't allow Dutch travellers).International travel is getting more complicated for the US by the day... I'm sure they're feeling depressed as well.

I only mention it because of the islands under some portion of EU jurisdiction... there are so many moving parts to moving cruise ships, and with maritime rules the way they are they can't simply stop going places... we NEED ports to visit.

I got it for my Nov cruise!!Did anyone else get the flexibility email? Basically you can move your cruise (Not cancel) within 15 days of travel without penalty between now and 3/31/21. New Cruise must be by 4/1/22. I wonder if that implies a new date for Wish?
Yes, it's true. You'll likely get the refund within a week.I know the 125% FCC is only on the base fare and doesn’t include taxes and fees. I rebooked for 2021 and was told the taxes and fees for the canceled cruise would be credited back to my CC. Is this true? If so, how long before I can expect it to post to my CC account?
