Disney Cruise NEW Coronavirus policy allowing full refund for future cruises

Posted byadmin on 03.06.20

Disney Cruise’s new policy from today

Guests scheduled to sail between now and May 31, 2020, can now change their reservation up until the day before embarkation and receive a 100% cruise credit to be used for a future sailing within 12 months of their original sail date by calling the telephone number above. The credit is non-refundable and standard prevailing rates will apply. 

Given the uncertainties for people sailing this spring this was a wise change for Disney.

Without clear policies as to what happens to guests on a quarantined ship – as is shown in California the last few days – Disney needed to address this.

Disney Cruise Line Coronavirus questionnaire.

Posted byadmin on 02.06.20

Disney Cruise Line has revised their health questionnaire to ask questions regarding Coronavirus as of the Magic Feb 6, 2020 sailing from PortMiami per Robert Saylors on Twitter.

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus threat has impacted cruise travel to the Bahamas recently and travel worldwide including prohibiting travel to the Bahamas if the passenger has traveled to China in the previous 20 days. The revised questionnaire reads as follows:

  • Have you or any occupant of your stateroom travels from or through China, including Hong Kong or Macau, in the past 14 days?
  • Have you or any occupant of your stateroom had cloys contact with, or helped care for, anyone suspected or diagnosed as having Novel Coronavirus, or who is currently subject to health monitory for possible exposure to Novel Coronavirus?
  • The Bahamas will not allow anyone who has been in China in the past 20 days to disembark at any Bahamian port of call. Have you or any occupant of your stateroom been to China, including Hong Kong or Macau, in the past 20 days?
  • Do you or any occupant of your stateroom have a fever (100.4ºF / 38ºC or higher), feel feverish, or have chills, a cough or difficulty breathing?
  • Within the last 3 days, have you or any occupant of your stateroom developed symptoms of volition or diarrhea?

The Diamond Princess cruise ship has been under a two week quarantine at sea near Tokyo, Japan and in all likelihood other ships will be impacted.


Updates on February 6-7, 2020: A Cruise ship bound for New Jersey will have the passengers tested for coronavirus. And as of Feb 7, it is occurring.

As of February 6, 2020, Disney has stated this, in part:

We previously asked guests who had traveled through mainland China within the 14 days prior to their arrival to contact us. In an abundance of caution, we are expanding this measure to include guests that have traveled through Hong Kong and Macau. Given the unique environment of a cruise ship, guests and crew members who indicate they have traveled from or through China, including Hong Kong and Macau, in the 14 days prior to embarkation will not be able to board. In addition, The Bahamas will not allow anyone to disembark in any Bahamian port of call if they have been to China in the past 20 days prior to their arrival.

Feb 7, 2020: Now Royal Carribean has announced it is banning all Chinese passport-holders from their ships:

“Any guests holding a Chinese, Hong Kong, or Macau passport, regardless of when they were there last, will not be allowed to board our ships,” Royal Caribbean said. “Regardless of nationality, any guest or crewmember traveling from, to, or through mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau less than 15 days prior to their sailing will be unable to board any of our ships.”

Disney Cruise Line changes Fantasy destination to St Lucia instead of Martinique

Posted byadmin on 02.05.20

Today Disney Cruise Line announced they are changing the July 1, 2020 destination for the Disney Fantasy from Martinique to St. Lucia due to changes in the Martinique passport requirements.

Martinique is very nice, having been there twice on the Fantasy, but this is the first trip to St. Lucia for the Fantasy.

St. Lucia is nice also, and the Pitons worth seeing, but the port itself isn’t as cruise friendly as Martinique in my view. I guess well see!

We are writing to provide you with important information regarding your June 27, 2020, 9-night sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy.

We recently became aware that Martinique now requires all Guests going ashore have a passport. Knowing the impact this change will have on our Guests without passports, we have made the decision to visit Castries, St. Lucia instead of Fort-de-France, Martinique on July 1, 2020. St. Lucia boasts mountainous peaks, lush rainforests and breathtaking vistas. We know our Guests will enjoy this popular port.

We look forward to welcoming you onboard and providing you with an exceptional cruise experience.

Disney Fantasy USB charging for iPhone and Android etc – Disney Cruise

Posted byadmin on 07.07.17

The May 2017 Disney Fantasy dry dock brought some welcome upgrades to the Disney Cruise line stateroom charging situation.  Instead of having to carry chargers about, the staterooms we saw (this one was on Deck 9) now include a clock radio with two USB charging ports  and a wall plug that provides 2.1 amps and 1.05 amps.

The Disney Wonder has similar usb chargers on the wall, but they are 3.1 amps.

Don’t forget the cable to connect your iOS/iPhone/iPad, Android or other device to the wall!

The Disney Fantasy headed to Martinique next for the first time.  Another beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 80s and some early cloud-cover.  Even walking distance from the ship there were things to see and do, including a library with some very old books, museums and churches.
