New Disney Cruise Line Final Payment Extension And Cancellation Policy Update
In order to to give their guests more peace of mind Disney Cruise Line has just announced updates to their Cancellation Policy and added extensions to Final Payments for sailings through July 31, 2021. SeaMails are being sent to guests today with these changes. We have samples of these emails in this article as well.
These updates coincide with the recently extended temporary Cruise Date Flexibility option which allows guests the option to change their sail day up to 15 days prior to their cruise. This means that for any new or existing cruises booked prior to Jan. 31, 2021, for sailings through June 30, 2021, they can change their sail date up to 15 days prior to departure.
SeaMail for Disney Cruise Line Final Payment Extension
Dear [Guest],
All of us at Disney Cruise Line continue to think of you and your family. We realize these are uncertain times for many of our Guests, and want to let you know we’ve temporarily modified our final payment and cancellation policies to provide you with greater flexibility.
For sailings through July 31, 2021, we are temporarily extending final payment until 60 days prior to sailing for Guests booked in unrestricted stateroom categories. This means that those Guests who have not yet reached their final payment due date can wait until up to 60 days prior to sailing to pay for their cruise vacation. Onboard cruise activities can be scheduled within your Castaway Club booking window once final payment is received.
In addition, we are temporarily relaxing our cruise cancellation fee schedule for sailings through July 31, 2021, as described below.

*This temporary Cruise Date Flexibility is valid for new and existing reservations booked prior to January 31, 2021, and allows Guests to change their departure up to 15 days before their sailing for any cruise departing through June 30, 2021. Guests that wish to change their sail date must move to a future sailing that commences prior to May 31, 2022. Prevailing rates apply and Guests are responsible for any balance due after the reservation has been modified. Guests are unable to return to their original sail date once the reservation has been changed. Should you cancel your new sail date, any cancellation fees applicable to the original sail date will be deferred and applied as a minimum cancellation fee to the future sailing. Standard air cancellation fees apply for Guests who booked flights through Disney Cruise Line.
