How soon until they start adding states to that list?

what proof do they need? can i just say i have been to one of those countries ?

It does seem like a giant loophole if someone wants a refund and is willing to lie.

Your passport shows where you have been

This is horrendous since the US has more confirmed cases than Norway and others on this list.

If you handle it on the phone, how will they get a look at your passport ?

 

[oceanbec]

Same as things like FL resident rates - you have to email the proof.

It wasn’t fear mongering but rather a statement of fact regarding a corona virus case in the Orlando area. Disney world is SW of Orlando about 20 miles and is in Osceola County.

our kids are out of school next week for spring break. I know what the school systems are saying regarding not closing schools but the end of spring break is 11 days away and a lot can happen between now and then.UCF and Rollins are closed to students and sports. All pro sports teams have suspended play. NCAA games in Tampa are cancelled. Public schools are the next thing on the list.

I’m in Ohio, the governor announced earlier today all public schools in Ohio will be closing on Monday for a minimum of 3 weeks. People here are in complete panic mode, preparing for the apocalyps.

Was just a matter of time.

per the Orlando Sentinel "Disney Cruise Line is also suspending all new departures beginning Saturday through March".

Fingers crossed that it goes through May. Glad to hear castmembers are being paid. CMs really are the best. They deserve it.

It’s not a question of being deserved. There aren’t too many companies that can afford payroll for 2.5 months. People are going to be in for a rude awakening come April 1.

Yeah, I wonder when it will start sailing again. We leave in 67 days...

Just waiting on my email regarding our March 29th sailing... wonder how this will change refund vs rebooking status.

 

[ramwitz]

Wow, they have a list of banned countries a mile long despite all the cases popping up in the US So ridiculous. And they still claim to plan to proceed with the European sailings even though most of Europe is on their banned list. And I see still no leniency with their stingy 12-month policy despite the fact that most of their clientele have kids and obviously won’t want to sail this summer if they are cancelling their upcoming cruise. At least give us through the end of next summer!!! I am so, so done with DCL!

 

[oceanbec]

Yes, but you would still have other proof of travel to send to DCL.

I am hoping they give you the option of a full refund since they are the ones canceling!Update us please with how they handle it.
