Disney Cruise Line Updates Concierge Level Vacation Protection Plan
More big news coming from Disney Cruise Line this morning! Starting today (May 17, 2021) for guests booked in a Concierge Suite or Concierge Stateroom, when Disney Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection Plan is added to their reservation it must be paid in full at that time. Currently this change only affects Concierge Suite or Concierge Stateroom guests.
When booking a Concierge Suite or Concierge Stateroom, Clients wishing to add Disney Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection Plan to the reservation must add and pay for the Vacation Protection Plan at the time the deposit is paid on the reservation. Deposits for Concierge Suites and Concierge Staterooms are non-refundable. Disney Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection Plan has to be paid prior to a non-refundable charge being applied to the reservation.
Similarly to Restricted Air, Concierge Suites and Concierge Staterooms are subject to cancellation fees as soon as the deposit payment is made; therefore, Disney Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection Plan cannot be added once the deposit has been paid. Should guests elect to decline Disney Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection Plan, they will be unable to add it later, even if they downgrade to a non-Concierge stateroom.
It’s important to add that for all other guests, when the Vacation Protection Plan is added to a non-Concierge Suite or Stateroom reservation it can be paid for (and subsequently activated) at a later date. It’s good to remember too that as of Feb. 3, 2021, Disney Cruise Line has begun to enforce the existing cancellation policy regarding the Vacation Protection Plan. The policy establishes that once the Vacation Protection Plan has been paid in full, it will no longer be refundable, with the exception of a “10-day look-back period” post-purchase to give insured guests appropriate time to review the full policy. Please note this enforcement does not apply to bookings made before Feb. 3, 2021, with the exception of situations where a non-refundable charge (i.e. air) is associated with the reservation.
