All Guests must undergo a Disney Cruise Line-paid PCR COVID-19 test administered by Inspire Diagnostics at the terminal before boarding.

For California cruises, all 4-night sailings call on Cabo San Lucas with two sea days. All 3-night sailings call on Ensenada with one sea day. For the 14-night Panama Canal sailing, there will be an additional day at sea instead of a stop at Grand Cayman.
