Ahoy, Janice! Welcome back to planDisney and thanks for sailing over with your question about Disney Cruise Line.
Although local government regulations often impact the travel documentation requirements for each sailing, Disney Cruise Line also enforces its own set of requirements. The exact requirements vary by itinerary and departure port, but Disney Cruise Line provides an overview for all of them
here. For round-trip cruises departing from
Southampton, all guests regardless of age or nationality are required to have an original passport that is valid for at least six months after the sailing has ended. While I understand your confusion given that the government regulations may be different, that is the stated policy of Disney Cruise Line and they do reserve the right to deny boarding to any guest that does not have the proper documentation.
Since it appears that your sailing is scheduled to embark later this month, I highly recommend reaching out to Disney Cruise Line directly regarding any other concerns that you may have about your particular travel documents. The international phone directory with available hours can be found
here.
I wish you nothing but smooth sailing and hope you have an amazing time experiencing where magic meets the sea. Happy sailing!
