[Dahly]

Has anyone received word the Maiden has been pushed to March, 2026? seeing on another site but no email received yet.

Confirmed. Got the email.

We know many Guests — including you — have been eagerly anticipating the debut of the Disney Adventure. This ship represents a bold new chapter for Disney Cruise Line, as we transform a partially built vessel into a fully reimagined Disney experience at sea.

As we bring this vision to life, we've encountered unexpected delays in the shipbuilding process. To ensure every detail meets the high standards you expect from Disney, we've made the difficult decision to postpone the Disney Adventure's maiden voyage to March 10, 2026. We regret that this change will affect your upcoming sailing.

We understand how disappointing this news may be and sincerely apologize for the impact on your vacation plans. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to deliver an experience that's truly worth the wait.

Since you were originally booked on one of the affected sailings, we will automatically refund any amounts paid to Disney Cruise Line to the original form of payment. Additionally, we would like to extend a 50% discount of your voyage fare for use on a future cruise.* You may book your future cruise as soon as you receive the cancellation confirmation of your original sailing. Note that the future cruise must be booked by March 31, 2026, and the cruise must depart on or before March 31, 2027.

I think it's really crappy we can't use the voucher for anything past March 2027.

I am in total shock about a three (!!!) months delay! And they wait until now? This must have been obvious for months.

I actually read small mentions in the German news articles when they interviewed workers that they were talking about being behind. But it sounded more like that they would have to take more workers with them on the transit than planned than a 3 months delay!

That tally’s with something I saw in German on Facebook with someone saying they used to work at the shipyard and the company building it are well know locally for being constantly under staffed and not hiring additional staff.
