I read 15 months. That’s a little better.

Scheduled to sail Wonder 4/28 to Hawaii. I have been checking available state rooms the past few days to watch cancellations. Not sure whether an oversight with the recent changes DCL made to their site last night as it relates to cancellations, or a sign of things to come, but as of now this cruise is no longer available to select. It is greyed out in the filters and in an old tab I have open, when I try to select a stateroom it says: "Staterooms Are Not Available or Staterooms for Your Party Size Are Not Available." My reservation still shows fine in the Disney Cruise Line App. Anybody else seeing the same?

I am/ was booked on the Hawaiian Cruise. Our FB groups are devastier I have been bawling the past 15 minutes. This was more than a vacation. I will miss out on meeting my new friends I have made these past two years on our groups. The hours and hours spent planning, FE Hawaiian themed.
And to top this off. We have a real problem getting worse- Coronavirus.

I'm so, so sorry. Hopefully you all are able to meet some other way... group trip to Hawaii later?

Interesting...I don’t see any cruise with a stop in Vancouver on DCL website until July or later. I guess they have already cancelled them even if it hasn’t been announced?

 

[AquaDame]

Things are happening so fast I can't even decide what to call this thread due to character limits...

 

[princesscinderella]

I think DCL made a strategic decision to cancel only the first two weeks to enable the first impacted by the cancellation to have access to the call centers, instead of 4 weeks of cancellations all at once. Once those sailing refunds are taken care of they will move to the next sailings down the line. We will be requesting the refund as we have a small business and the money from the cruise will enable us to pay our staff for a bit longer if our workload and paying customers slows down.

That is because Canada is not letting any ships over 500 passengers dock ...until July 1st

 

[gilsan]

Yep
Sail with 499 or less guests. Very highly unlikely. The only way I see this happening if other places has the same restrictions as Canada and they have no where to go. Will they make money with 499 guests or will they rather just shut it down until who knows when

It is 500 people (passengers + crew)

who is reporting an Orlando area case? Seminole County has one, which is travel related, and that is not Orlando. The constant supply of mis information is not helping anyone. we just got a call from the school superintendent that Orlando is still rated as low risk by CDC and that schools will be coming back after spring break.

Looks like your school super was giving you a line and you bought it.

FLORIDA schools just announced being closed until 3/30

I don’t see it on the DCL website anymore.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I’ve come to my new mantra - it is what it is it’s out of my hands ! i feel sorry for all the poor TA and Disney workers they are going they hell!! I do hope these restrictions accomplish the goal of saving lives that is the big picture here
Alaska and Hawaii will still be there when this is done !

Yup is gone now on my screen as well.

Hoping to score a deal when they put up new dates since they now have to fill the ship last minute.

The Hawaii cruises no longer show either.

The Government of Canada has announced:

Cruise ships transporting over 500 people will not be able to stop in Canada until JULY 1.

This will have significant impact on the Alaska cruise season.

For the Arctic, it applies for the entire cruise season due to inadequate health resources there.

For smaller ships, including ferries, additional health measures will be added.

Also, inbound flights from other countries will be restricted to coming in to a smaller number of Canadian airports. Details to come.

(per live press conference on CBC, statement from Minister of Transport)

With the situation in US many times worse than Canada, I am surprised US hasn't done the same. I am admittedly somewhat biased as I am hoping to reschedule my cruise scheduled for mid June. Still, the US needs to take a much more proactive approach to slow down the spread.

It amazes me as to the number of experts we have here. Do you really think that Disney and Disney Companies along with all the other large cap. Companies would take such a hit if the underlying info. didn't suggest a potential outbreak. I agree; hype is ridiculous but so is burying your head in the sand. Just saying...
