High website traffic on Disney cruise booking launch day causes delays

Disney Cruise Line (DCL) released Disney Adventure sailings for dates between December 2025 and March 2026, with its maiden voyage taking place on Dec 15, 2025.

Those booking via DCL's website took to social media to air their grievances about difficulties in loading the booking system and the hours-long delays they faced while trying to secure a room.

Some also mentioned that they were unable to make payment for their bookings.

DCL has included a banner on its website apologising for the inconvenience as it is experiencing higher traffic than usual, and pre-empted users about possible delays.

Travel operators also found it difficult to log into the booking system.
