DCL Disney Magic At Sea UK Residents Only Sailing Summer 2021 General Information

[disneydafty]

I think initially they'll have them run through 9/18. 9/18/21 is supposed to be the start of the transatlantic cruise and it's too early for them to cancel that one.

They have cancelled the Transatlantic, we were notified the other day.

Any guesses to when the Disney uk cruises will run until. I was hoping for a late sept cruise

The next bookable cruise on the magic is the 29th September out of New York. The CDC in the US won't allow cruises longer than 7bdays to operate in and out of the US - hence the cancellation of the transatlantic. I'd wager that Disney will want at least a 2 or 3 week gap between UK and US sailings just to guarantee a covid-free ship - that would be terrible press for a ship to return to the US with an outbreak.

Thanks for the update! I knew they weren't selling it anymore, but didn't realize it was cancelled. If they think they can run any of the NY cruises, they may do a transatlantic with no passengers, so they may leave the UK by 9/22 or so (no need for port stops without passengers).

Still anxiously awaiting the vaccine requirements, as I don’t think we’ll have had both of ours in time for any of these sailings!

No mention of pricing or have I just missed that?

No prices, With Disney Cruise Line they don't list the prices during the advance booking days for Castaway Club Members. They will only list the prices on General Opening Day which is Monday 19 April

 

[BadPinkTink]

I'm seeing rumors that vaccinations may not be required, back to back sailings may be possible, private PCR test will be required 5 days to 24 hours pre departure, plus a rapid flow on arrival at the port terminal. Rapid flow testing will be available on board. Inside staterooms will be on sale but they will be spaced out.
Again these are not confirmed or official, just what some travel agents are saying online.

ah I’ve never booked during advance before. Guess we will just have to ring up on Gold Day to find out, unless any kind Platinums give us a hint the day before

Also just so you know Dreams Unlimited can book these cruises, I checked with my agent. They give an onboard credit which is % of your cruise cost , which UK High Street Travel Agents don't.

oh can they? We always use dreams for our cruises so would love to again.Not been on a cruise since 2017 though - who is your agent?

 

[Joshua Kelso]

July 26 is my birthday so the July 23rd 4 nighter sounds like a perfect first cruise! I'm hoping people start sharing prices on here when the lines open for platinum/gold/etc, I know the price will be higher for first timers but it will give me a ballpark.

Grant Shapps was saying this morning how they will be looking into bringing down the price of these.

The two adults in our family will have had both doses by 23rd July - would a test still be required?
