Worried about going to Disneyland Before DCL San Diego to Vancouver

[stfxkid]

Anyone else doing San Diego to Vancouver Cruise, rethinking doing a land and sea. Worried we might get Covid at Disney and then be denied boarding on the ship.

That's always a possibility for those who do the "as long as....." we're heading to CA/FL/wherever, let's go to Disneyland/Disney World/wherever before the cruise.

Do you know if the DCL insurance would cover getting a positive test at the port and being denied boarding?

I believe DCL policy, for denied board for COVID, is a full refund. I don't believe insurance would kick in for that. Someone with better understanding of this, hopefully, will respond with more information.

You could get Covid at the grocery store and then test positive. ??? If you don't feel comfortable, I totally understand that, and you need to do what you feel is best for your family. But, this crazy virus could be lurking anywhere.

On that cruise too, Actually, B2B with the one before. At this point, we're really a little more worried about getting off and entry into Canada at the end. You might get infected and the test might not flag to board depending on timing. But, doing Anaheim before does give it a chance and incubate and may be an issue for disembarking in a foreign country. Worst case here, of course.

And Canadian cruisers out there know which way our northern neighbor is leaning on this issue?

I’m a Canadian, so they will have to take us back in, but they would force us into quarantine immediately if we tested positive, and we live on the other coast. Not sure what they would do with Americans either quarantine or maybe they have a method to bring them straight to Blaine, Washington.

No way to answer. Things are changing daily. No way to know months from now. Best advice, if you go ahead with your trip, be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best.

I would do cruise first, parks second.

We've done that before but the OP lives in Canada and since the cruise ends in Vancouver, doing the parks after the cruise doesn't really make much sense

Missed that part! Yes, that fact would complicate things enormously!

I’m more concerned now, because of all the breakthrough cases. I figured before we have our vaccine the likelihood of getting infected at Disney is fairly low, don’t want to fly across country and then loose a very expensive cruise and also have to figure out how to get back to the east coast and across the boarder while Isolating.

I have been to Disney 4 times since they reopened, and done 3 Disney cruises since they reopened. The parks were a dream when there was still social distancing. We felt safer at the parks than at home in those days.

Then, they stopped the social distancing. We went to the parks after our cruises on the dream in august. We couldn’t believe the difference from our previous visits. People were everywhere and so close to you. We decided right then that we would not visit the parks before a cruise - the risk of catching covid was just too high for us. We prefer cruises over the parks, so we do not want to test positive at the port and be denied boarding - just for a few days in the parks.

I feel this in my soul! But being from Canada for you, it's stickier. We were going to do Universal before our cruise in August. But I was too petrified we would catch Covid while being there that we changed it to after. I understand that you are not in that position, however. It's such a touch decision! Good luck!
