Disney Cancels Singapore Sailing on New Adventure Ship Over Mechanical Issue

The cancellation tests Disney’s new Asia flagship after earlier delays.

Overview

  • Disney aborted the four-night May 7–11 voyage on Friday after engineers could not fix a mechanical problem in time.
  • The captain told guests around 2:30 p.m. to prepare to disembark after they had spent the night on board while the ship stayed in port.
  • Disney is giving full refunds, a one-night hotel in Singapore with transfers, a 50% future-cruise discount, and up to US$500 per stateroom for incidentals.
  • Guests report Disney is handling flight-change costs, though accounts differ on whether coverage is capped or fully paid.
  • The ship remains in Singapore as repairs continue, and the next sailing on Monday is still expected without a stated repair timeline on the line’s newest and largest vessel.
