I happened to see a little video of the current situation of the crew on the Dream. It didn't look that horrible (although they might just be making the best of a bad situation)
Yes, if you cancel and not move, you cannot keep your placeholder. I could not keep mine and lost my 200 on-board credit as well. They were not permitting anyone to move them at my PIF date and there no extensions. DCL will not revisit anyone who cancelled etc before the middle of March, despite the fact Canada had a travel advisory when I cancelled I believe. I got a firm no for everything.
If you feel that way than why did you rebook from April to September when you know there will not be a vaccine?hopefully. But I just don’t see a way cruises can go safely with out a vaccine. Surly there will be a massive risk to the virus if going on a cruise with no vaccine

I'm not sure how things have gotten any worse. If anything things are far better than earlier predictions. So basically you're not cancelling your cruise because your hoping for a 25% cruise credit. I wouldn't count on DCL letting you out of the contract just because you don't want to sail.things have got a lot worse than I expected and thought things would be a bit better by sept
im not generally talking about me when I say that though. I just mean it will be a big risk and could easily spread on a ship. I’m not saying I would not go. But I hope There is a few cruises before mine so we get reports on how there are going
I also think even if cruises are sailing and people don’t want to go. I think Disney will give them some sort of offer to change dates
This is horrible!
I agree it’s a horribly written article. I feel for the crew I really do, but you are right they are not American citizens and these aren’t U.S. flagged ships.That article is horrible on many levels. It is America bashing throughout the article. For example it says that the U.S. baulked at providing basic emergency services for these foreign workers on foreign ships. Why is it the United States' taxpayers job to help these people? Then at the end it goes really crazy. It's hard to take them seriously when they go on about democracy, civility and truth is in peril due to the current U.S. administration. Very poorly written, biased riddled article that clearly has an agenda other than cruiseline workers. Not trying to be political, just responding to article posted on this thread.
Are we reading the same article? It said the US was among the countries baulking, its not solely focused on the US, I don't see any US bashing or that it is the US tax payers job to pay...That article is horrible on many levels.

I moved my Baltic with the hope of possibly moving it back. I may end up cancelling it in the long run.Yes, if you cancel and not move, you cannot keep your placeholder.

Ok, that part doesn't show up in my feed. It is not part of the article for me. But when I Google it, I think I know what you are referring to."Are we reading the same article?"
Read the bottom of the page titled "America Faces an Epic Choice". Links like that have no place on this board. Also I can't believe they say we baulked at helping, our country helps more of the world's citizens than any other nation on earth.

To me the article is more explaining the dodgy ways of cruiselines by registring in low-tax countries and sailing under Bahamas flag, etc. And that the cruise line says one thing, but the crew says another.

If the cruise sails. DCL is not going to let you cancel at the last minute because you’re afraid to sail. That’s what insurance is for. Unless DCL adopts a 24 hour cancelation policy for ALlL guests then you will need to use your insurance. Don’t expect Disney to make an exception for you because your vulnerable. You knew you were vulnerable when you booked.my cruise got cancelled in March. I am in the UK and things have been changing on a daily basis. Plenty has happened over the last few weeks here that’s for sure. That’s why cruises keep getting cancelled more and more as they never expected it to be as bad. After the stories I’m seeing it’s now starting to put me off a bit but I’ll wait and see what happens in the coming weeks/ months
and no I already have the extra 25% credit for this cruise anyway
I also think if your More vulnerable dcl won’t yet u travel if u don’t want to
We were booked on the Halloween on the High Seas cruise in October out of NYC, but we decided to push our honeymoon back to next year to be safe. We ended up switching to the cruise my in-laws are going on as it will be their first time and my fiance (then husband's) first cruise.
I'm bummed because I was looking forward to a different itinerary as we (my mom and I) keep ending up on the Bahamian cruises for one reason or another, but I'm excited to experience it with people who have never done a Disney Cruise.
And hopefully if my fiance gets hooked, we can do another itinerary the year after for our anniversary .
