Disney Cruise Line Removes COVID-19 Testing Requirement Regardless of Vaccination Status
BIG NEWS!!! Beginning Nov. 14, 2022, for sailings departing from the United States, Disney Cruise Line will no longer require Guests (regardless of vaccination status) to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to sailing. This is a huge shift in previous Disney Cruise Line policy. However, Disney Cruise Line continues to highly recommend that all Guests be fully vaccinated and encourages unvaccinated Guests to take a COVID-19 test two days prior to sailing.
For those with concerns, Guests who are booked on sailings departing from the U.S. Nov. 14, 2022, through Jan. 31, 2023, may modify or cancel their sailing by Nov. 13, 2022 without any Disney-imposed cancellation fees. Standard cancellation policies and terms and conditions apply for any cancellation or modification requests received on or after Nov. 14, 2022.
The following SeaMail is being sent to guests who booked through a travel agent on sailings departing from the U.S. Nov. 14, 2022 to Jan. 31, 2023 :
