Disney Cruise Line today implemented a new cancellation and change policy, and it's definitely worth a read if you have or are planning to make a DCL reservation.
I have included the entire change notification sent to travel agents below:Note that, while this is in effect for reservations made after Oct. 1, 2014, these new terms will apply to existing reservations if you make any changes to them, including adding someone to a stateroom. Be sure to discuss your options with your travel agent before making any changes to existing reservations.Effective Oct. 1, 2014, several changes are being made to the cruise cancellation fees for Suites and Concierge Staterooms as well for Cruises Less Than 10 days where Embark or Debark is a U.S. Port. Listed below is a review of the new policies:
