SAMPLE GUEST EMAIL

Dear [Guest Name],

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 March 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 March 31, 2021, as described below.

If You Book A Guaranteed Inside, Outside or Verandah Stateroom

You need to be aware that this flexible cancellation policy does not apply to you if you have booked a Guaranteed Stateroom. The usual cancellation policies will apply.
