If you booked it more than a few weeks ago, you should be able to get a full refund if you have Covid symptoms or exposure to anyone with Covid. No documentation required.
It might not be a lie. People, especially children and those close to them, get Covid symptoms (sore throat, fever, cough, unexplained muscle aches, etc.) all the time. Someone in their travel party might have this and it would be legitimate grounds to cancel the cruise for a full refund, but if they aren't aware of that cancellation policy, they would miss that opportunity. It's DCL's policy that if you have Covid symptoms, you can cancel and get a full refund without documentation required, as long as you booked before a certain date. If someone qualifies for a refund under that policy, they have a legitimate right to the refund, even if it wasn't their initial reason for wanting to cancel the cruise.
Like I said, it's DCL's policy that if you have Covid symptoms, you can cancel and get a full refund without documentation required, as long as you booked before a certain date. If someone qualifies for a refund under that policy, they have a legitimate right to the refund, even if it wasn't their initial reason for wanting to cancel the cruise. People, especially people with kids, have symptoms and family members with symptoms all the time without registering that as an issue, and telling them about the policy lets them know that those symptoms could be their way to cancel the cruise and get a refund. It wouldn't be fair for a person who qualifies for the refund under that policy to lose all of that money because they weren't aware of the policy.
WDW doesn't have cancellation fees.
WDW does have cancellation fees if you book a package (room+tickets). That said, it is usually much easier to cancel or push out a WDW trip than a DCL.
I knew someone would knit pick that statement. Let's be honest it's nothing like the money lost from a cruise and there are many ways around it.
