EBPC is a GO, no under 12s

[_auroraborealis_]

On November 5, 2021, the Disney Wonder will depart San Diego on a 14-night sailing through the Panama Canal to Galveston, Texas, with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Cartagena and Cozumel. All Guests on this voyage, regardless of age, must be fully vaccinated in order to sail.

Regardless of age, gotta be vaccinated. This means no under-12s, basically.

Unless pfizer approval in the next couple of weeks, but for sure it will be tight even if that happens.

Well, even if they approve the current approval is being tested for ages 5-11, so under-5s still cannot sail. No nursery, obviously.

That's great news - especially the part about passengers being able to disembark in Mexico and Colombia and be on their own.
I'm all for it - it'd be amazing.. kinda answers my question about Mexico POC's from the other day.. it means DCL is OK with passengers disembarking and not having to be in a DCL-bubble port adventure.

Will it happen though? - Seems a bit rushed to go from 3-4 night cruises to a 14-night in 30 days.

Disappointing for sure for anyone unable to meet the requirements because of the under 12s. Hopefully an approval will come out for the younger groups 3+ ages soon. That would help people next year.


What surprises me is that Disney wanted to salvage the West Coast at all this year. A small smattering of cruises out there before bringing the wonder back east for a season. If they could have gotten berthing space, they could potentially have just done Galveston starting from now.

Most likely, they decided to move the Wonder to the West Coast in order to resume somewhat normal operations, and let guests get used to her itineraries again, also, I suspect personally that this move is to get us used to the idea that the Wonder might end up on the West Coast permanently or at least semi-permanently, once the Wish begins operations followed by ships #6 and #7 in following years.

You might be right, the December 2022 cruises out of Galveston changed from the Wonder to the Magic

Does anybody know if there will be guest speakers?

And how many different shows will they perform?

I just want to get a better idea of how different the experience will be compared to previous years.

I'm not sure how anyone here would know this?

I'd put money on Disney not knowing this, right now.

Maybe somebody who called and got trough asked already...

I doubt the call center employees know the answer.

I have a feeling that 2022 WBPC will be the last full transit cruise. Or at least until they decide to replace Wonder with a different ship on the west coast.

I have a feeling that 2021 WBPC will be the last full transit cruise. Or at least until they decide to replace Wonder with a different ship on the west coast.

Do you mean the 2022 WBPC? The Wonder is already on the west coast and scheduled to do an EBPC in November of 2021 so the next WBPC would be in late winter/early spring of 2022.
