DISNEY FANTASY Posted October 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) We appreciate you selecting a Disney Cruise Line vacation for your clients and have important information to share about their sailing. As you may know, the Disney Magic has just undergone the most significant transformation in the history of Disney Cruise Line. Unfortunately, during the course of dry dock renovations and the Trans-Atlantic crossing, we encountered challenging weather conditions that made the necessary work impossible to complete in time for the first cruise. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to cancel the October 20, 2013, 5-night sailing from Miami, Florida. They are giving those booked on the cruise a full refund, plus a FREE 5-night cruise on the Magic (or 35% off a different cruise).

Flygirlchico Posted October 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I had a feeling that was going to happen. Sad for the people but now they get two cruises. Looking forward to our magic cruise november 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DISNEY FANTASY Posted October 17, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Well all seemed to be going do well but it seems that the Atlantic weather won which always can occur and they just ran out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hencoll Posted October 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's a shame. :( Not really surprised though. Weather and sea conditions during a TA crossing can be unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Help Jenn Posted October 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I thought this might happen too. Was hoping not but ... hopefully she will be ready for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISNEY FANTASY Posted October 17, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's a shame. :( Not really surprised though. Weather and sea conditions during a TA crossing can be unpredictable. Open ocean can be very unpredictable. I thought this might happen too. Was hoping not but ... hopefully she will be ready for me! Hopefully yes! Good luck.

DISNEY FANTASY Posted October 17, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I just wonder how many people booked that cruise hoping to have it cancelled and get the refund and a free cruise? Nice game if you can play it. But there are a huge number if genuine cruisers who have been effected, flights booked kids looking forward to it, that's a shame. Pity for the few who wanted to post *. first * and have bragging rights on the first Internet posts of photos. It's a funny old game.... I would never book a cruise directly post DD, I booked fantasy three months after it went into service to let it settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex techie Posted October 17, 2013 #13 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just as when she was first launched, and even after this relaunch the great lady Magic is being "fashionably late"! Seriously though, I feel for all of those that were booked, and hope they can take advantage of the refund and free cruise. ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flygirlchico Posted October 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2013 One free cruise. Not 2 cuises. Actually two free cruises because if they are getting reimbursed for their original cruise so they could book another. Plus they are giving them a free cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizzoufinal4 Posted October 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ummmm that still only equals one FREE cruise! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talex831 Posted October 18, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yep, I honestly had a feeling this was going to happen. I just wish I had booked it! Seriously though anyone who did book it and thought that they had a 100% chance of sailing was deluding themselves. And shame on any TA who didn't at least warn their clients this may happen.

purplethorn Posted October 18, 2013 #18 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I had a feeling too ... It was too tight of a schedule and working while sailing transatlantic was not looking very feasible to me , but anyway I hope they don't cancel any more sailings , but I would understand if they have to. The safety of the ship post renos is most important ,They have to make sure it is absolutely in tip top condition to sail safely. I picked a wrong day call the 800 number to check on my cabin assignment , their lines were very busy (I don't know if it is like that at other times?) .. I guess I will just stay put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplethorn Posted October 18, 2013 #20 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yep it makes sense , I bet they will spill into my sailing too that is why they have not assigned yet. I hope the the original Nov 1st cruisers take precedence in the cabin assignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
