Online checkin for Disney cruises temporarily suspended

[zoo2tycoon]

Just a heads up

 

[insureman]

Maybe adding new forms to the check in system?

Interesting that there is no estimated time of completion...?

They don't know when cruising will resume, so that's logical.

I'm going to take a guess here and say that they'll probably restart reservations after the next round of cancellations, which will probably take us to the end of year, as has a significant majority of other cruise lines have suspended operations until.

Not reservations - online check in is down.

Ah okay well I think it still applies, no sense letting anyone complete check in if they might get their itinerary cancelled. I'm just saying I expect some changed to take place with check in and even on board with the muster drill, so it looks like they're starting to implement the changes. Hopefully something will be announced soon.

Yes, love your optimism. I’m going to go with that as well. Maybe additional disclosures and liability release forms or whatever. Surely the check in process will be different post Covid and maybe this is it? Let’s release the cruise ships.

Interesting... we checked in for our December cruise today around 4:30 pm.

Really hope this means they have a plan to resume and are making changes to the check in screens, e.g. Covid-19 disclaimers and a more enforced arrival window system, plus maybe reserving time slots for the kids club.

It's Disney IT after all. I'd expect nothing less.

It was back around 10pm EDT, I was able to view and add some info to my check in.

 

[MomOTwins]

Oof, such a let down. The radio silence from Disney on plans for resumption of operations is pretty hard to take.

It starts today, Sept 1.

Not sure how they can say anything because they don't know anything. A lot of businesses in other industries are saying anything so far in the past week are saying "we aren't even going to consider resumption of operations until after the first of the year."

I was really hopeful when I was able to book dining reservations, excursions, and on board activities on Monday with no problem. I did complete the check in on Monday as well. It was our 75 day mark for first time cruisers. Keeping my fingers crossed, but I just wish they would let us know so I can plan out the rest of our trip!

I am still seeing the message that it is paused. My check in does not start until the 11th so maybe it is only still paused for reservations that have not reached their check in date?

DCL knows they have a Fantasy cruise to the Bahamas scheduled in a little over 8 weeks on 11/02. DCL knows they have no crew for the ship. DCL knows the Bahamas is currently closed to cruise ships. So I think DCL could definitely say something and do the right thing. How do you sail a cruise with no crew?

I guess I don't count things outside Disney's control as something they need to talk about. That is widely available information from the sources. And in the case of the Bahamas, it appears they have reopened their borders to tourists.......as long as they AREN'T from the United States.

I guess I feel not staffing your ships is definitely something you control and need to talk about with those who have many millions of dollars invested in your upcoming cruises. They could start the talk beginning with the 11/02 cruise and further by letting them know they're cancelling the cruise because they have no crews. It's very disingenuous and bad business to hold those people's money when they know the cruise is not going out, especially the concierge guests who do not have the option to cancel. Does DCL really not know they aren't going to sail in 8 weeks?
