Just because we can’t set sail on the Disney Cruise Line doesn’t mean we can’t play the part at home!
Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream
Or rather, watch professionals play the part on screen, while we virtually transport ourselves to Disney’s veritable Broadway-at-sea! Just in time for holiday entertainment, you can enjoy a virtual viewing of ‘“Frozen, A Musical Spectacular!”
Earlier this year, a Disney executive noted that cruising would likely be the last of Disney’s business to resume operation. Although the CDC’s no-sail order has expired, a series of new requirements have been announced that cruise companies will have to meet before they can sail again.

In early September, Disney Cruise Line had canceled its sailings through mid-December, but now that suspension period has been extended.
Last week, we learned that the CDC’s No-Sail Order were set to expire in exchange for what is known as a “conditional sail order.” This new order required cruise line operators to meet a set of criteria before being allowed to set sail, including the cancelation of itineraries longer than seven days, testing for crew and passengers, and simulated voyages to test operator’s ability to reduce transmission risk.

We had wondered how these new orders would impact certain cruise operators that were planning on resuming their departures before the end of 2020, like Carnival Cruise Line.

Cruises in the U.S. had previously been prevented from sailing due to a no-sail order issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which had been extended through October 31st. But, now it appears that cruises may be able to sail again soon, provided certain conditions are met.
On March 14th, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a No-Sail Order that has been extended several times.

Earlier this year, major cruise companies had to completely shutter sailings in response to the spread of the global health crisis.

With Disney Cruise Line sailings currently suspended and a no-sail order from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention through the end of the month, cruising has been more or less up in the air. Now, Carnival Cruise Line has become among the first to announce a return to sailing in the U.S. — and it’s before the end of the year.
As you might have heard, Disney is set to sail a BRAND NEW cruise ship in 2022.

The Disney Wish, though delayed, will set sail as the biggest Disney Cruise ship yet. In preparation, Disney Cruise Line is recategorizing staterooms on all four existing ships so that there is a uniform system throughout the fleet.
