Will masks be required on board? Will there be character interactions with guests, shows, fireworks, visit to private island?

Everyone will be required to wear masks, all meals will be eaten in the staterooms, and only one deck at a time will be able to leave their staterooms for activities. There will be no excursions and all shows will require 2-3 open chairs between each individual.

I hope your sailing goes as planned.. we're just a few weeks behind you. Realistically tho, we have low hopes of any ships going to sea before a vaccine is in wide use.

Ok. They have been keeping a rolling set of cancelations, generally two months at a time, as they continually evaluate a return to cruising. I do hope that they restart Oct 4th, but as I understand it, DCL has not officially decided to resume cruising then... rather that's just the first cruise date they haven't yet canceled.

Correct, as it stands that is the tentative date right now that is available to book. Fingers crossed.
