Shipbuilding delays were cited as the reason for having to push back the ships maiden voyage. All affected guests will receive a full refund, as well as a 50% discount on a future Disney cruise. Guests who were booked on the maiden voyage will be automatically booked on the new maiden voyage and receive 50% off their cruise fare. However, Disney will not provide compensation for airfares, hotel bookings or other travel-related expenses that guests may have now incurred as a result of the changes. The ship arrived in Bremerhaven on Sep 9.
