The CDC has just announced an extension of the “No Sail Order” originally issued on March 14th for all cruise ships by at least 100 days.
Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream
Guests who currently have a voyage booked with Disney Cruise Line should note that — as of this morning’s press time — the official Disney Cruise Line website still notes suspended sailings of all departures through April 28, 2020 for the fleet, and for sailings embarking or debarking in Vancouver — which specifically affects the Disney Wonder — through the end of June. (You can read more about that here.)

The CDC’s Statement of Intent on the order has listed: “Preserving the public health and other critical resources of Federal, State, and local governments; Preserving hospital, healthcare, and emergency response resources within the United Sates; and Maintaining the safety of shipping and harbor conditions, including safety of the personnel” among its paramount objectives with this order.
Of course, we will be keeping you posted on any new developments.

You have misunderstood the order, I believe. From USA Today:
While the March 14 order was intended as a voluntary measure to stay in place for 30 days, the new one could last longer.
The CDC order states that cruise ships can’t board passengers and return to their sailing schedules until one of three events takes place:
• Expiration of the Department of Health and Human Services’ declaration that COVID-19 constitutes a public health emergency.
•The CDC director’s own decision to modify or rescind its no-sail decision.
•Passage of 100 days from the time the new order is published in the Federal Register.
Until then, the about 100 cruise ships in the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf of Mexico must remain idle, either in port or wallowing at anchor, the CDC said. Those ships currently have nearly 80,000 crew aboard.
The “one of these 3 events” is key wording. The 100-day extension is only ONE of the THREE events. It is not set in stone yet, I don’t believe.
