I wonder if this is preceding more cancellations....
Certainly Alaska cruises at the very least.

Me too!! I am the admin of a September Dream facebook page. We are all on pins and needles. Many are very worried Disney has not pushed back the PIF date. We are now at the week Golds have to pay. We have read the other cruise line interviews and seen the restrictions of Disney World parks. Many, including me, will not sail if shows, characters, parties are limited. That is what you pay for on a Disney cruise. Some are "we sail hell or high water" others, including me, are about to cancel due to the lack of communication from Disney. I understand they are in new waters here, so are we. However, it is a lot of money to ask folks to hand over and be in penalty with if they aren't sure their sailing will happen or if the sailing will be different. It is now June, the virus has calmed down, but it is very much still around. Cases aren't in the zeros for most places. They are stable or down a bit. I understand they can't tell us when the CDC will let them go. But please tell us if there will be limitations to our sailings before the PIF dates. Parks are easier because payment and canceling are easier and closer to travel date. Cruises are not.
My husband literally said to me this morning "this is a lot of money to be worrying this much about a trip we always love to take".
I hope so, but my TA called, and they stated all regular policies are in place for non canceled cruises.I stand by my OPINION that Disney will not penalize after PIF date for folks who decide in the end not to go IF the cruises actually go (say in August or September for now)..whether it is because of reduced experience or concern for health reasons...I just don't think they will deny you 100% refund if you call and cancel with your concern.. it would just look bad to do so...
They include the September 14 cruise, they to only go by embarkation dateOK riddle me this.... why did DCL cancel the Wonder through September 14th only when the September 14th cruise is ALSO from Canada and isn't showing up on the website? Shouldn't it be through the 18th when they hit San Diego for the Mexican Riviera cruises with this batch?
This is an interesting question because flights still are flying between Canada and the US. Not many of course right now but some are still going. I live in Vancouver and right now we have daily flights to Seattle, Dallas, and most recently they have added Los Angeles and San Francisco back on the schedule.I used Expedia to book hotel and flights. I also bought their trip insurance for flights and hotel. Does anyone know, if border to Canada is closed and our flight was into Vancouver- would we be eligible for refunds? Would they have to cancel flights from the states with the border closed?

No idea what the PH discount is, but you could have kept your OBC is you'd moved the cruise instead of cancelled it.This is what we were told too. On our PIF date, the CM told me that if we couldn’t go due to flights or our country locking down again (UK), but the ship was sailing, normal cancellation policy would apply.
As a result we cancelled, losing our OBC and PH discount. I have subsequently found someone on our cruise FB page was able to keep theirs. I’m going to email DCLto find out why the inconsistency.

Anyone think more announcements will come this week?
I'm hoping they announce something about the Bahamas cruises for August/September too.

Ah yes, so both together were your OBB? Then you could have kept it if you moved it (before the expire date) instead of cancelled. This is valid any time, not just during a pandemic.No idea what the PH discount is, but you could have kept your OBC is you'd moved the cruise instead of cancelled it.
I'm afraid that the Alaska cancellations were all the announcements we are going to get this week, but we'll see.I would certainly hope so. We're nearly 3 weeks since we've heard anything, which honestly, is kind of unacceptable. I know that we ALL are trying to be understanding. We ALL are trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I certainly hope so. Sept 4th here, and just trying to make other plans if the cruise isn't going to happen.
That's kind of where I am. I don't care of the answer is no. If it's no, it's no. But, tell me now. Don't string me along for weeks. People have to make other arrangements if need be.
I saw this article about the CDC evaluating the health and safety plans submitted by the cruise lines back in April. According to the story, these proposals are only for having crew onboard and they haven't even begun to evaluate plans for when there are passengers on the ships.
