Disney Cruise Line Cruise Date Flexibility and Final Payment Extension
Beginning today, May 28, 2021, a temporary final payment extension was added to Disney Cruise Line sailings through Nov. 30, 2021. Disney is also temporarily relaxing the cruise cancellation fee schedule for sailings through Nov. 30, 2021. These temporary changes are in addition to the Cruise Date Flexibility* Option that already allows Guests the flexibility to change their sail date up to 15 days prior to departure for any cruise booked by June 30, 2021, for scheduled sailings on or before November 30, 2021.

This temporary Cruise Date Flexibility is valid for new and existing reservations booked prior to June 30, 2021, and allows Guests to change their departure up to 15 days before their sailing for any cruise departing through November 30, 2021. Guests that wish to change their sail date must move to a future sailing that commences on or before September 30, 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.
