I would guess that a cancel means a full refund.

 

[randumb0]

I am sure they will offer refunds

 

[wl1117]

I am hoping they give you the option of a full refund since they are the ones canceling!Update us please with how they handle it.

I’ll let everyone know when it arrives.

Wow....

DCL has just announced that all new departures will be cancelled after 14 March until end of March.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

[Tasmen]

I'm just in such shock about all this.

 

[mmouse37]

I am actually surprised they did not cancel for longer.

I guess all the ships will have to finish their current sailings and then just dock in port with no one on them

Don’t worry....you’re not. It was already posted on here about half an hour ago.

I think they will have to offer refunds since there is no ship to get on. I'm wondering about people who moved their sailing already and would much rather have had a refund than a cruise credit.... think they'll be out of luck?

I noticed on the new list of restrictions with all the new countries they also listed elderly or health conditions as a reason not to go. However, it does not state if they will give you a refund for age, just for the countries. Does anyone know if you can get a refund if one of your party is a certain age? Husband is 69, seems bad to rebook for late summer (only time we can rebook) as he is not getting any younger.

 

[PaoDCL]

this is so sad. I'm sure is for the best but we were supposed to sail on the 21st.
I haven't had any email from them about any cancellation

DCL updated the Travel Alert

Full refund? That wasn't an option before right?

the tweet from disney parks says "beggining March 14th"

Disney Cruise Lines will suspend operation starting Sat March 14 until the end of the month, all affected sailings can be found on the DCLBlog post I'll link below. https://disneycruiselineblog.com/20...-of-month-due-to-coronavirus-covid-19-threat/

 

[mommy2allyandaveri]

Wow!

 

[mmmears]

This is horrendous since the US has more confirmed cases than Norway and others on this list.

It's ridiculous, especially since Norway is finally stepping up and taking decisive actions to prevent further spread and the US is doing nothing by comparison.

not all countries stamp passports

This is very, very true.

Well, official. Disney cruise shutting down all departures from March 14 - end of the month. https://www.wtvr.com/news/coronavir...me-parks-cruise-lines-amid-coronavirus-spread

Sad, but I think many of us here saw this one coming.

Yeah...I can't see them not issuing refunds. Of course they will try their best to keep our money and get us to re-book a future cruise but the option for a full refund needs to be on the table.

Especially if they stick to the 12-month booking window...
