So will cruises be going to Nassau now?

[jrapps]

Thats really helpful info, thanks. Looks like it really might sail as planned.

No Problem.

Of course, my personal opinion is that they won't go to Nassau. Too risky. But I have been known to be wrong at least once or twice.

I hope the double CC is extended through September

Leave it to Disney to have different versions of things on different website pages.

On the "Know Before You Go" Page:

We are pleased to share our plans for a phased relaunch of the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy. Disney Cruise Line is initially returning to delivering magical family vacations with 3- and 4-night itineraries aboard the Disney Dream in August. The Disney Fantasy will resume sailing beginning September 11, 2021 with 4-night cruises from Port Canaveral, Florida that will be available to book beginning August 25, 2021. Disney Cruise Line hopes to begin sailing 7-night voyages and longer aboard the Disney Fantasy in October 2021, pending conditions closer to that time. We look forward to sharing more information soon. During this initial phase, the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy will only visit Disney Castaway Cay, our private island in The Bahamas. Visit our Ports of Call page to learn more.

And on the ports of call page:

During this initial phase, both the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy will only visit Disney Castaway Cay, our private island in The Bahamas, while we work with other port destinations and their local governments and health authorities to prepare to resume visiting their communities.

Both of these are different than what is on their 8/24 advisory

If Disney doesn't change to a double dip on both my cruises I will probably cancel both. I was pushed to move from a Fantasy Eastern to a Dream to keep my 7 nights in place with the idea that Disney was saying they were only going to Castaway at this point. Just glad for the updates otherwise I would have been stuck with no option to cancel.

Ya went to the website and still reads actually as they will only go to Castaway. Until the itinerary actually updates though I will stay on my toes (we have been looking at other options anyways).

 

[sethschroeder]

I wonder if part of the reason they are not updating the Dream cruises yet is they want to update the Fantasy to Double Dips, get people booking those over the next week, then update the Dream cruises closer to when they occur.

I still say they will make the Fantasy and 4-day Dreams into Double Dips, and the 3-day cruises will do 1-stop and 1 sea day.

I am fine with Sea Days just not stopping at Nassau.

I assume as soon as the dust settled from the Fantasy conversions they will change the Dream 4-nights to double dips (at least I hope so since I'm on the Dream 9/20).

Same. I agree with everyone that it makes no sense that they'd go to Nassau, but until I get some kind of confirmation of that, it's hard to feel good about this maybe cruise in a couple weeks. We've started looking into options now, as well.

I hope so! We’re on the 9/20 sailing, as well.

Our mid September 3 day swapped Nassau for day at sea this morning

 

[sweetpee_1993]

September 24th 3-night just swapped Nassau to a sea day as well.

 

[anjuan]

Our October 8 3- night Nassau day was also just changed to a sea day.

 

[jrapps]

Website is updated. all 4-day cruises (Dream and Fantasy) are double dips

Edit, looks like they only updated September, not October yet. And only the 4-night, the 3 night still say Nassau but I expect that will update soon.

 

[sweetpee_1993]

I'm a little sad about a sea day + Castaway vs. double dip but that's okay. Still gonna be wonderful. Good balance. I'm happy. Not that we had plans to get off the ship in Nassau anyway.. LOL

Agree. I'm hoping that they'll do more of the on board activities that they usually have on sea days (pre-pandemic) in the middle of the day as a result.

 

[jrapps]

The website is fully updated now. All of September and October is Castaway ONLY.

The earliest Nassau appears is early November.

For the dream. Fantasy still has sailings going other places right now

 

[seasalt81]

So relieved! Cast members apparently had no idea this was coming yesterday (or the ones I spoke to were really good at keeping it quiet!).

Yes, sorry I should have specified the Fantasy 6 & 7 day sailings still appear going to USVI, Cozumel, etc. But the adjusted 4-day sailings and all Dream sailings are Castaway only thru October
