ORLANDO, Fla. — Disney Cruise Line is ready to welcome passengers aboard a second cruise ship next month from Port Canaveral, but it had to cancel at least one more sailing on its website and shift the length and destinations for several more.
Disney Fantasy is set to resume operations on Sept. 11 joining Disney Dream, which began voyages earlier this month. Fantasy performed its two-night simulated voyage from Aug. 12-14 to earn its conditional sailing certificate from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That sets the ship up to begin service next month, but the cruise line decided to cancel a sailing that was still available on the website since the last round of cancellations was to depart Sept. 4. In addition, the new return date of Sept. 11 as well as at least three more voyages, have been shifted away from what had been 7-night itineraries instead to 4-night voyages that only visit the cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.
