That happened to me. My PIF was in July 2020 and shortly after that (like a week or so. I don't remember exactly when) they cancelled.They generally appear to be cancelling after the PIF date.
I don't know if that is universally true.
We are booked for October 2021 as well and recall when we moved it I thought "surely, it will be better by then." :| I am starting to think they may not start cruising until Fall actually and not sure how it will be and would really like to have feedback so not sure if that will even be a go for us!I was afraid this would happen. We moved our April 17 cruise to Oct. Cannot believe that I could have any worries about a cruise that far out! Time will tell.
I predict they will sail at 50 percent capacity on select cruises in April.
Based on information I read from the Cayman Islands today, no cruises will be going there until the end of 2021 at the earliest (unless something drastically changes in regards to Covid infections before then.) Any DCL cruises that do sail won't be stopping in Grand Cayman it seems.
Then why oh why won’t DCL just go ahead and cancel our April cruise?! We are supposed to sail on the Magic (still in the UK) and our one stop (besides CC) is Grand Cayman. Just cancel us already so we can move to another cruise!!Based on information I read from the Cayman Islands today, no cruises will be going there until the end of 2021 at the earliest (unless something drastically changes in regards to Covid infections before then.)

It's true in many cases, but not universally. My March 20th cruise was canceled a week prior to the PIF date. Since they seem to be doing it one month at a time, sailings earlier in a month are more likely to be canceled after PIF, but sailings later in the month might be canceled just prior to PIF.They generally appear to be cancelling after the PIF date.

I really doubt it will happen since many cruise lines have already cancelled April 2021 and past 2021.

They need to wait 60 days between CDC-approved test cruises and actual revenue cruises.
And no line is even close to submitting the request to the CDC.
Plus it takes 60-90 days to repopulate cruises with staff and retrain them on everything almost from scratch.
So yeah, no.
I'd be surprised if any cruises sail in July.
DCL? September earliest, if all goes 100% perfect.

Because if they bundled April cancellations with March they'd lose a bigger amount of money all at once when paying out refunds, and their call center would be twice as swamped. So, they space it out and make us wait.Then why oh why won’t DCL just go ahead and cancel our April cruise?!
They already know they won't be sailing in April. I have 0% doubt about that, as bigger cruise lines have already announced they won't sail in April. DCL will not jump off the diving board first.I predict they will sail at 50 percent capacity on select cruises in April.

I don't know how Passholder discounts work, but other DCL cruises (with OBC, FCC, etc.) can be changed as many times as you feel like changing them.Our cruise was a Passholder discount with the OBC which we already changed once from November '20 to April '21. My understanding was we could only make one change so I wonder if they'll let the original discounts move to the next cruise.
