Cruises impacted by Hurricane Ian

Disney cruises impacted by Hurricane Ian

Disney Cruise Lines has confirmed that the Disney Wish sailing currently out at sea will be delayed returning to Port Canaveral. Instead of returning this Friday as scheduled, it will now likely return on Saturday or Sunday, depending on when Port Canaveral reopens.

Unfortunately, that means the Wish sailing scheduled to start sailing on Friday will now be cancelled. If you were booked on that sailing, you should’ve gotten an email from DCL today with details on refunds and credits.

Norwegian Cruise Lines has also cancelled it’s Thursday sailing on the Norwegian Getaway.

Carnival Cruise Line cancelled its sailings out of Tampa and Jacksonville scheduled for Thursday on the Carnival Paradise and Carnival Elation.

The sailings of those ships that are out at sea now are going to be extended until their ports reopen as well.

Royal Caribbean, MSC, and Celebrity Cruises have announced route and port changes to several of their ships currently out at sea. I imagine most cruise lines with sailings thru the Caribbean will have route and port changes as well.

Chances are, if you have a sailing into or out of ports in Tampa, Port Canaveral and Jacksonville this week, you will be impacted. Check with your cruise line for the latest changes.

Mask mandates lifted on many cruise lines

Mask

As a follow-up to my post the other day about Disney Cruise Line lifting their mass mandate, it looks like most other cruise lines have also lifted their mask mandates.

Of course, this could also change anytime so make sure to check the policy for your particular cruise line at the time when you’re cruising.

I found this article from Cruise Critic that has a good summary of the requirements for most of the cruise lines out there. Credit goes to them.

More cruises cancelled

The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), of which Disney and most other cruise lines are a member of, has decided to suspend cruises sailing from U.S. ports until October 31, 2020. If you have a cruise currently booked through early November, check with that cruise line to see how they’re handling cancellations.

Sadly, cruise sailings out of all U.S. ports have been suspended until September 15th for now. If you had a trip booked, check how your cruise line is handling the current situation. If you want any help with your cruise trips, feel free to contact me.
