We’ve been keeping you posted on the constantly evolving situation with the Disney Cruise Line.
Disney Cruise Line
Although the Disney Cruise Line states it hopes to resume limited operations this fall — and it’s already announced itineraries for summer 2022 — sailings remain temporarily suspended. Previously, all sailings through May had been removed from the website, with select cruises canceled through August. Now, more cancellations have been announced.
The CDC has consistently been churning out new guidelines in response to the global health crisis.
Will Disney set sail again this year?
Earlier today, the CDC announced that those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can travel. However, the return of cruises is still unclear — just last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to file a lawsuit against the CDC if cruises are not permitted to return by this summer. Now an update from the CDC lays the foundation for the return of cruise ships again.
The global health pandemic has created a lot of challenges for the travel industry over the past year, particularly for the cruise industry.

Take Disney Cruise Line — it’s been OVER a year since its last sailing. The CDC continues to extend no-sail regulations, and Disney has previously said that it believes cruises will be the last arm of its business to return.
The global health crisis has created many challenges for the tourism industry, especially for those businesses with cruise lines. Last year, even Disney confirmed that the last of its business to resume would be its cruises.

As of this year, sailings for Disney Cruise Line were originally canceled through February, but that was extended to March and April. Select cruises have also been canceled through August.
The global health crisis has had a huge impact on the travel industry, particularly for cruise lines.

The Disney Wonder
So far, we have seen Disney cruises canceled through April, with select cruises canceled through May, and select cruises over 7 nights canceled as well. But, now a major restriction has been announced that could impact a lot of cruises, beyond just Disney Cruise Line.
Disney Cruise Line and many other cruise companies have delayed, suspended, or canceled sailings through the end of 2020 due to the global health crisis.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a “no sail order” in March that suspended sailings. The ban was extended then expired on October 31st, 2020. While there is no issued mandate, the CDC stated a warning that sailing is a level 4 “high-risk” and should be avoided. Disney canceled sailings through December 2020 and is once again extending cancelations.
To say we’ve been missing the Disney Cruise Line would be an understatement. But alas, it looks like we’re gonna have to keep waiting a while longer… .

With all Disney cruises cancelled through the end of the year, and many other cruise lines in the same boat, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just released new guidelines highlighting the risks of cruise ships. [Read more…]

With Disney Cruise Line sailings currently suspended and a no-sail order from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention through the end of the month, cruising has been more or less up in the air. Now, Carnival Cruise Line has become among the first to announce a return to sailing in the U.S. — and it’s before the end of the year.
Although the current global health crisis has affected the travel industry as a whole, the cruise industry has even been more impacted than most.

And that doesn’t seem to be something that will change soon — Disney previously confirmed that its cruise operations would be the last of its tourism-based businesses to return. Disney cruises have also been suspended through mid-December.
