As part of today’s Disney Cruise Line cancellations for sailings departing through June 2021, Disney Vacation Club has also announced that the 2021 Member Cruise to the Western Caribbean will no longer occur.
“Disney Cruise Line announced that all U.S. departures through June 2021 have been canceled as it continues to prepare for a return to service in U.S. waters. We’re disappointed to share that this includes the 2021 Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise to the Western Caribbean. All impacted Members will receive an automatic refund for their 2021 Member Cruise reservation by the end of April in the original form of payment (cash and/or reservation points to travel use year) used for the reservation. Additionally, we will extend reservation points used for the 2021 DVC Member Cruise for one year. Members should see this reflected in their Membership in the last week of their Use Year. Members do not need to take any action.”

Members who had booked this cruise will automatically receive a refund of cash or reservation points within the coming month. Those members whose points are set to expire soon will also receive a one-year courtesy extension for the points used for the 2021 DVC Member Cruise.
Those booked on the canceled 2021 DVC Member Cruise interested in booking the 2022 Alaska Member Cruise from August 29th – September 5th, 2022 can be placed on a reservation priority list. To be put on this list, members are asked to respond to their cruise cancellation email.
It is important to note DVC’s use of the word “reservation points” in this announcement, as those are not the same as “vacation points. These points can only be used to reserve Disney Collection or Concierge Collection accommodations.
