Disney Delays Cruise Ship Launch for 2nd Time

Walt Disney Co. has pushed back the launch of its first cruise ship, saying construction delays will prevent the Disney Magic from setting sail until July 20.

This is the second time the Burbank entertainment giant has delayed the debut of the cruise ship, which is being built at an Italian shipyard. It was initially to be released in mid-March, but company officials blame supply shortages and poor weather for the sluggish pace of construction.

Once completed, the ship is to be based in Florida.
