food IS a theme park
When the pandemic shut down travel around the world, the cruise line industry took a big hit.
It has been a while!
Since then, many sailings have been canceled and departures delayed. But now, Disney Cruise Line is going to set sail again.
Disney Cruise Line has scheduled cruises for this year. These have been canceled on a rolling basis, and no official return to the seas date has been shared. When they do resume, the cruises might look a little different than you remember them, as Disney makes adjustments to keep passengers and crew safe and in line with CDC regulations.
All aboard!
One cruise line out of Florida has already gotten started, though! The Royal Caribbean was the first cruise line to sail with passengers, which they did this past Sunday.
At the start of May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new instructions for the return to cruising.

Since then we’ve seen some indications that cruises to Alaska may begin again this summer and have seen Disney Cruise Line cancel sailings through July. And now it looks like Carnival Cruise Line is one step closer to an eventual return to sailing.
It’s a BIG day for the Disney Cruise Line!

We’ve been keeping up with ALL the latest progress on the Disney Cruise Line’s new ship — the Disney Wish — which is due to set sail in June 2022. That includes exciting updates on the suites, eats, and even a brand-new ride! And now, the day is FINALLY here. You can officially book a room onboard!
If you’re like us, you might be pretty excited for the launch of Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship.

The Disney Wish is set to be Disney’s “Castle on the Seas” and it is SO cool. We can’t get over the wide variety of offerings like amazing restaurant concepts, an attraction at sea, knock-your-socks-off kids’ zones, and more. Well, early bookings are NOW AVAILABLE, if you can believe it!
We have been seeing so much of Disney Cruise Line… Even though we’re nowhere near port!
Disney Cruise Line merchandise found in Disney Springs
Disney Springs has apparently been in the habit of featuring a lot of stuff from Disney Cruise Line. Honestly, we don’t blame them, considering cruises have not been able to operate for a very long time, and it’s unclear when they’ll be back. And, these Disney Cruise treats are taking a break from the high seas to chill at a Disney Resort that’s clearly a fan of maritime adventures.
The NEW Disney Wish cruise ship won’t be setting sail until 2022, but we’ve already gotten TONS of details about what to expect on board!

One of the new things that has been announced for the cruise is Disney’s first attraction at sea — the AquaMouse! We’ve already seen lots of concept art for the ride and its story, but now we’ve got a closer look!
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemics, we’ve seen various changes made and new guidelines released.
Cruising Could Return Soon!
One big industry that has yet to fully return since the start of the pandemic is the cruising industry. Recently, we shared that cruises may be able to begin sailing again from the U.S. this summer and now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has issued some updated guidance.
There has been some exciting news about Disney Cruise Line recently!

Disney recently revealed tons of details about the Disney Wish including the first ever attraction at sea, a Frozen-themed restaurant, a Star Wars lounge, a Marvel dining experience, a sneak peek at the rooms, and so much more.
The Disney Cruise Line is launching its newest ship very soon!
