DCL Has Their Protocol Out!!!

[Disneyland_emily]

Where did you see masks needed on tram. It specifically said no masks needed on island. On the website all it says is

Trams
Cleaning measures have been enhanced and seating has been modified to help promote physical distancing.

I thought I read 2 testings. 5 days prior and embarkment day. Guest pay for both 12 and up. So much to read and comprehend

All unvaccinated test 5 days prior at their expense. Everyone had to pay that.

All unvaccinated test at embarkation. Only 12+ have to pay.

Interesting. Those 2 sections conflict with one another. They will need to clarify that.

Having to get a PCR test 24 hrs prior is going to be the hardest part of this whole thing most labs don’t turn around results that fast

I will assume that, because the Tram rows are so tightly packed together on Castaway, they want people to wear masks on the tram so that they can seat more people on each tram instead of having to socially distance people and not be able to use all of the rows.

Makes sense. Seems strange since its outside but hey, its a... 5 minute ride that will save you a long walk. Not a terrible amount of time to be wearing a mask.

not necessarily- WDW still requires masks on transportation but not anywhere else the tram could easily be considered transportation..

Well Im glad I have no cruise plan till the Wish next August, I would think by then it will be normal and if not will be cancelling that as well. There is not a chance I would pay all that money to cruise right now, so many other places to explore.

Well boats they don't they since open air, so trams are also open air.

I think it’s a minimum of 24 max of like 3 days so unless you leave it till the last min you should be good..

how exactly does removing hammocks promote safety? A line for Pelican Plunge? Ugh.

Hammocks can't be sanitized, so I assume that is their issue with them. Pelican Plunge has always had a line. It's just that they've moved the line onto land so that it can be better spaced out.

Think there is an insurance requirement though which I think I’ve read can be trickier to get without?

Most travel insurers do not ask if you're vaccinated.

 

[Cheburashka]

Let's see how strict they are at enforcing the mask rule. Sad truth is I just don't trust people.

I saw them enforce it at the parks last summer when they were even required outdoors in 90+ degree heat; they can enforce it onboard a ship even easier.

I can live with masks everywhere. I can live with $100 to get my 8 year old tested. (They rest of us are vaccinated). I can live with 2 stops at Castaway.

The reserve only 1 slot a day at kids club is going to be the hard one. My son would spend the whole cruise there if he could.

 

[Cheburashka]

Fish extenders are not permitted at this time!

Can you decorate your stateroom door?

 

[Cheburashka]

Rainforest Room will be a private experience for $174 per 105 minute session. 10 people in your party max. Yikes!

It seems like they're doing everything they can to discourage families with young kids from sailing. I don't blame them right now. It's just an observation.

I think they are trying to discourage alot of people to help with keeping the numbers low for now.....how long it lasts who knows

I am concerned about the dining description "Serving up diverse global cuisines and classic casual bites inside themed restaurants peppered with Disney magic, Disney Cruise Line invites you to savor the finest dining at sea sure to surprise and delight—and promote health and safety. "

What does "classic casual bites" mean in Animator's Palette? Small plates? Dining not the same as before I guess and they want you out quicker...?

And they are discouraging adults with no kids as well. No way I am paying that much money to go on a cruise and wear a mask when we are supposed to be on a vacation.

Wouldn’t read too much into that - think it’s just referring to the pizza bar etc by the pool. Dining on the UK sailings (which have similar restrictions) has been the same in the MDR (other than distancing changes such as characters not coming round tables).
