Ep. 179 - A Wish Deferred: Disney Delays Maiden Voyage of its Newest Ship Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

On this special bonus episode, we're talking to Michelle McKnight a Destination Specialist with Touring Plans about Disney Cruise Line's announcement to delay the Maiden Voyage of the Wish to July 14, the DVC charter sailing immediately following to July 19, and the cancelaton of a dozen cruises that were to follow in the six weeks following the maiden voyage and DVC sailing. Why did Disney decide to delay? What is it doing for impacted passengers? Does it impact other sailings in the fleet? And does this mean more slots might become available on the coveted Maiden sailing? We answer all that are more.
