Episode notes
Promos May Reflect Growing Ship Capacity
- Hosts note an increase in frequent Disney promotions possibly due to added fleet capacity and softer demand.
- This suggests more sales offers may continue as Disney adds new ships and navigates market demand.
Last-Minute Itinerary Shock
- Leticia learned the full itinerary change only a day or two before sailing and discovered it via email while in London.
- She describes shock, sadness for other guests, then acceptance as she prepared for a different trip.
Expect Itineraries Can Change
- Check the cruise contract and expect that itineraries can change for safety reasons, with refunds limited to port fees and excursions.
- Do not assume you are entitled to specific ports; plan for flexibility when booking.
