We're not on until next year for the WBPC. 14 nights on deck 6 midship. I'm very slightly, it's in the back of my mind, worried.
Anybody know what would happen if rooms end up out of service on a completely sold out ship? Especially if you're already at sea? Where would they move you?
We'll be on the 4/28 sailing too! Deck 7 fwd. I'm not worried.
Note: Flushable wipes only appear to be flushable. They cause a lot of problems downstream.
My husband works at a wastewater treatment facility. The other culprits are hair and tampon strings which are both amazingly strong.
How would someone know the rooms were not released vs just being snatched up quickly? I know several cruisers who are checking day and night for a spot.

So we were booked on the Panama Canal cruise for April 2026. I cancelled this morning due to concern about the sewage issues, lack of ports and minimal time in each of them (24 hours total port time over 14 days is too little IMO). We also had a cabin on deck 6.
As soon as I cancelled with the Disney agent I went back to the Disney website and searched the Panama Canal cabin options and no cabins appeared. It seems like DCL is holding them back.

Most canceled rooms take a Anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes to return to inventory and by the time that you checked it, somebody might’ve easily snatched it up or it might not have returned to inventory and by the time that it does, somebody else will have grabbed it, and you will not find it.
Being unable to see them does not mean that somebody else did not get it or that Disney is holding them back. In fact, if Disney is going as far as to hold back state rooms for cruises happening in April 2026, then the plumbing issues must be much more severe than previously reported- DCL is not going to give up money easily.

No real way to know for sure. However multiple people have released rooms at specific times to let someone book them and they have not shown up. One person even wrote a program to keep checking for the room. It was assumed that the rooms were held back, given to people internally or travel agents. Or they holding them until they have a few and will release them all at once. Who knows what Disney is going to do.
Update on Deck 6 issue: DD is on the Magic deck 6 currently and says that the room is fine and the hallway smells fine. She is mid ship and has walked down to the aft elevators.
She is upset that the Tangled show won’t be performed due to unforeseen circumstances. That is her favorite movie and was the one thing she was looking forward to.

That’s unfortunate. In all my contracts, I have only seen a few times when the show was not performed at all; usually due to mechanical issues, incredibly rough seas or the cast were unable to perform (sickness/injury).
Luckily, she will get a mini show at RRT!
They have a Stars on Broadway performer on board. I assume that is why Tangled can’t be performed. It is only a 3 nt cruise. I told her to go to that as it is a good performance and the person talks about their life. Saw one on a PC cruise and it was great. Not as great as a stage performance but great in a different way.
