    Sunday night NFL football.

    I've found in the past that rights issues can get in the way of the ship broadcasting games. For example, I was in the sports bar on the Wish (Keg & Compass) during the NBA playoffs this past May. They could broadcast the Western Conference finals (because it was ABC/ESPN) but not the Eastern...

    Which cruise would you pick?

    I'm on record that I'm not particularly a fan of the Wish, and my family has had two great trips on the Dream. So if it were ME, it's a simple choice to pick the Dream. That said, I would suggest you build a pros & cons list as (for Disney) the two ships are fairly different. It could be that...

    Live stream discussion - Disney Treasure reveal 11am EST today!

    Good to know! We missed it on the Wish - we'll be on the lookout if/when we book the Treasure.

    Live stream discussion - Disney Treasure reveal 11am EST today!

    Strongly agree with this. My daughters haven't been able to be together in a club/hangout space since my eldest aged-out of Oceaneer's. Now she's aged out of Vibe (just as my younger daughter is aging in), and there really isn't anywhere she "belongs". Feels like the club age brackets need to...

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    I'd presume this too, but I'm guessing they just don't want the negative PR of celebrating their new ship during a hurricane. Better to let the weather pass & celebrate a week later.

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Is there a source for the Coco/Haunted Mansion points above? I know you said it was a rumor, but for me this is a rumor I hadn't seen until your post. A Haunted Mansion bar could be really cool!

    3rd New Triton Class Ship in 2025?

    Personally, I really like the two classic ships. There aren't quite as many amenities, but the ratio of amenities to people is preferable. It's a more intimate setting, you get to recognize the other guests and crew, and it's easier to navigate the ship. That said, I think it's unrealistic...

    Please help me pick my next vacation!

    All options sound great - I voted for Yosemite, but as people have noted I'd reconsider LA because that's a lot of windshield time. Maybe when you fly into SF, you spend some time there instead because it's an awesome city with a lot to do. Or you could definitely add time to the national...

    Alaska Skagway helicopter tour

    What does Disney do in the event of a DCL excursion being fogged-in? We're taking a helicopter to the Mendanhall Glacier (booked through Disney). I know generally the expectation is that they hold the boat for late arriving DCL excursions, but would they really sit at dock overnight if we're...

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    I'm not a jogger, so I didn't miss the track for that purpose. But something I've reflected on after our Wish cruise: I think this was the most "inside" cruise I've ever gone on. We did excursions on Nassau & Castaway, but our time on the boat was almost entirely indoors. I'm not sure if the...

    Any anticipation of Wish doing longer sailings?

    Is it really possible that they'll sell the Magic? I'd been thinking about the life span of these ships recently, and surely there must be a functional age window for a cruise ship. But the Magic (& the Wonder) seem to be incredibly popular ships, and their size appears useful for particular...

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Part of why I asked the Panama Canal question (answered above) was because it'd be great to have another shot at the Baja California route. We'd cancelled a trip a while ago, because that was when you still had to pass a covid test to get on the ship (and we didn't want to be stranded across...

    Awesome, thanks for the detail. Always amazed by the depth of info available on this site.

    How many more days until your Disney cruise - Part 3

    25 days! Starting to feel real - we're heading out on the Wonder to Alaska. We've been talking about doing this for the better part of a decade, reorganizing our cruise schedule so we'd have a placeholder to spend on Alaska in the summer of 2020 (and that, ehem, didn't work out). Great to...

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Can the Fantasy use the Panama canal? I may be mis-remembering this, but I was under the impression that the Wonder & Magic are the only ships to do this.

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Have to ask, as an aside: why sail a 2nd time? Were you locked-in and couldn't change dates/ships? Was there a particular issue on the 2nd sailing or something that really hammered home your POV? We sailed the Wish about a month ago, and like many people I wasn't blown away. And I know the...

    Which would you pick?

    "Worth it" is tricky, because $1482 is a lot of money. But Castaway Cay is a great spot with young kids because it is more controlled and lower key than typical ports I've experienced. I found, when my kids were younger, that it was a great experience because of adaptability. If the kids are...

    Rainforest Room - standalone, or included with other spa services?

    Following - my wife & I have a couple's massage scheduled on the Wonder coming up, and we've never checked out the rainforest room.

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Selfishly, I really like this (if true) because I've had enough of the Nassau/Castaway Cay trips occupying the new ships. It'd be great to take an Eastern Caribbean trip on a new ship.

    Any New Info about the Disney Treasure?

    Ok, so that probably means Miami as a home port? And probably means the Treasure does not go to Lighthouse Point? I was originally under the impression the Treasure would go to Lighthouse Point, but I'm not sure what I'm basing that on.
