Disney Cruise Line has announced a new policy change regarding cruise cancellation fee schedules and final payment due dates.
Beginning Sept. 24, 2024, final payment for Concierge guests will be due 90 days before the sail date for 1 to 5-Night sailings, and 120 days for sailings of 6 or more nights.
In addition to updating the final payment policy, an updated cruise cancellation fee time frame will also go into effect for all sailings beginning Sept. 24, 2024. This means, if you need to cancel your cruise after final payment, you’ll only get the portion of money you paid back, as spelled out below.
