DCL announcement at 8PM tonight

[lovepuzzles]

I called DCL about an hour ago and they said that they will be making another announcement tonight at 8PM Eastern about the cruises that are to be departing tomorrow. Has anyone else been told this information? I really need to know something! Our flight is scheduled to leave at 7:30 in the morning.

I too was told by DCL when I called them about 5:00 p.m. today, that they would be 'making an announcement' at 8 p.m. Can't wait to hear this.

Looks like "IF" they are able to get in to Port Canaveral tomorrow it will be just the Disney Ships.


The Carnival Glory is due in Tuesday
The Carnival Fantasy is due in Tuesday
RCCL Sovereign of the Seas cancelled it's Friday sailing and is out to sea with just crew (so they are not top priority)
RCCL Mariner of the Seasis due in Tuesday

So it looks like one of the Carnival ships will get the Disney dock on Tuesday and one of the Disney ships will get the Carnival (or RCCL) dock tomorrow, IF they can get in.

Maybe they will cancel the Sept. 5? Who would want a 2 night cruise?

Due to the impact of Hurricane Frances, we have made the following modifications to our itineraries for upcoming sailings:

Disney Magic
The August 28, 7-night Western Caribbean sailing will be extended by two nights, arriving in Port Canaveral on Monday, September 6 at 11 am.

The 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing, scheduled for September 4, will be shortened two nights, departing on Monday, September 6 at 6 pm from Port Canaveral and arriving back as scheduled on Saturday, September 11. To avoid the effects of Hurricane Frances, we will be sailing a modified Western Caribbean itinerary.

Disney Wonder
The September 2, 3-night Bahamas sailing will be extended one night, returning to Port Canaveral on Monday, September 6 at 6 am. Since it is unlikely that our scheduled calls to Castaway Cay and Nassau will be possible, they will be replaced with a Saturday, September 4 call to Cozumel, Mexico.

The 4-night Bahamas sailing scheduled for September 5 will be delayed and shortened one night, departing on Monday, September 6 at 6 pm from Port Canaveral, arriving back as scheduled on Thursday, September 9. Since it is unlikely that our scheduled calls to Castaway Cay and Nassau will be possible, guests will enjoy two days at sea, a safe distance from the effects of Hurricane Frances.

Guests sailing on these modified itineraries have been contacted or are in the process of being contacted by our reservations staff. Fares for the shortened cruises will be discounted, and guests will be offered special incentives for sailing.

We appreciate all of our guests’ patience as we respond to the unavoidable circumstances created by Hurricane Frances.

I went to the Disney Cruise site and saw that pop up announcement earlier, but now I don't see any announcement at all (so I think they took that one down).

Maybe they are preparing a new one, or they are not putting up any more information.
