Got our cruise docs....but not our precruise
ABD docs yet
My cruise docs do mention the ABD but state in big letters that
DCL reserves the right to cancel this cruise for any reason at any time. Scary! Why would they put that there? What if it's the last day? Refunding my ABD isn't going to help me find a hotel....I don't think refunding my ABD in full would make up for cancelling my tour at the last minute. It makes me not want to book with them again because I'm going to fuss about it until the last minute. if they even said that in the event that they cancelled the ABD they would fully refund and then help find us accommodation, I would feel better. Surely they already have the rooms booked so they could just transfer over the rooms to us.
Ah well, I'm sure it will be fine, but it's just one of those things that worries me. I wonder if I should keep my "just in case" hotel a little longer.
I wouldn't worry at all about it. I think they have to say this for liability purposes only. Anything "could" happen that "could" cause them to cancel, but the chances of them cancelling our cruise at this point is probably about as likely as my car getting hit by an asteroid.
It would have to be something really serious (like something that puts the ship out of commission), and knowing the
excellent track record DCL has, I am not anticipating anything happening to the Disney Magic that would put her out of commission.
But, they have to say that kind of lingo because if the unlikely/unexpected did happen, then they won't get 2,000 law suits because they had to cancel.
It's kind of like those medicine/drug commercials on TV where they talk about how much this drug will help you, but then they list about 100 side effects you "could" experience (but really, the side effects are unlikely, like 1 in 875,000) so that way if you choose to take the medication, and you suddenly have constipation, or trouble sleeping, or knee pain, or hives, or sudden cravings, or.... you won't sue the company for $1,000,000 because you are constipated or you couldn't sleep one night.
.
That said, this is also why Disney says they reserve the right to change ports last minute, or cancel ports last minute, and the list goes on. It's so you can't sue them because they changed a port last minute, or cancelled a port and made it a sea day (for a valid reason), etc. Maybe this is more of an American thing, too... Americans will sue over anything. LOL! Not sure if it's the same way in Canada.
But, the chances of any of this happening is SO SO slim at this point.
I have, however, experienced Disney cancelling one of our cruises, BUT it was a cruise that was a year away still, and they announced the cruise was cancelled because the ship had just been chartered out. Other than us being disappointed, we weren't out anything... we hadn't even bought plane tickets yet. But, that wouldn't happen to our cruise THIS close to the sailing date.
I wouldn't worry about it at all.
BUT, this is a good reminder to get trip insurance (especially for a cruise like this that is a higher cost all together). In the VERY VERY VERY unlikely event that they did cancel, I know my trip insurance would cover any lost costs, extra costs, etc as a result. So, that is another reason I don't worry about it.
I am sure your ABD docs will come soon. I have never done ABD, so I don't know how it works, but it could be more like WDW where they send out docs a little closer to the date. When we do WDW + a cruise, we always get thoe WDW docs after we get cruise docs.

Wow... I have so much to do between now and then. Once school ends for the kids (June 19), and the school craziness ends, then I will fully focus on packing, etc! Time will fly by between now and when we leave, I am sure.
. So they are focused on that. I will have to get DS packed this weekend but then it will be all out planning for the cruise for me.
