Disney Cruise Line is finally lifting their COVID testing requirements for most sailings! Today, emails went out to guests booked on certain cruises providing an update on the cruising policy. Beginning November 14, 2022, for sailings departing from the United States, Disney Cruise Line will no longer require Guests (regardless of vaccination status) to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to sailing.

Disney Cruise Line continues to highly recommend that all Guests be fully vaccinated and encourages unvaccinated Guests to take a COVID-19 test two days prior to sailing.
