As far as I can tell, it includes just about everything you can find on Castaway Cay: snorkeling, bikes, some water sports (not as much so far), secure kids' club, cabanas, separate (sort of?) adult beach, family game area, BBQ, bars, shopping, hair braiding. But it adds some new things like...

They may very well install buoys and ropes to designate safe swimming areas. They will also surely limit or close the beach to swimming in the case of high surf and strong currents. It's really no different from the thousands of other ocean beaches around the world. As for floats, I'm not...

What are the two events? Interesting that my queue page shows the Typhoon Lagoon event date as April 23, 2024.

I'm booked for June 8 Inaugural cruise to Lookout Cay. They are indeed offering reservations (sold out) for Serenity Bay Cabanas on "our adult-only beach reserved exclusively for Guests ages 18 and older." The latest Disney Parks Blog news about food options also specifies the "Serenity Bay...

I'm bearish on maiden voyages. I'm going to say it won't say until Jan 2026.

I would just hate to lose the beautiful tile work in the floors.

The deal for the beer mug is that they will fill your 21oz mug for the price of a 16oz draft, usually ranging from $7-10 depending on the beer you choose. Since they don't actually offer a 21oz beer on the menu, you'll have to do your own estimating to decide if the mug is worth it.

If I end up with a late PAT upon online check-in, can I then choose to add the Disney bus transfer to get an earlier one?

I did put in a plug earlier for the Dream and Fantasy for their adult spaces. But if you like to spend time in a pub, the Magic and Wonder are so much better than the Dream and Fantasy. I haven't been on the Wish.

Agree with others that Dream and Fantasy have the preferable adult areas, including a huge adult only sundeck surrounding the concierge space.

That would make sense. It's crazy that the Magic and Wonder each have more concierge cabins. To get to a similar percentage of the ship (~5%), they'd need to add about 20 more each to the Dream and Fantasy. Wish concierge is more than 6% of the ship, I believe.

Maybe I missed the article you saw. Was it linked on this thread? The one I saw (https://www.cruisehive.com/alaska-port-and-cruise-lines-agree-on-ship-limits/99315) says: "Juneau and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) have reached a Memorandum of Agreement to limit the number of...

If my count it correct, here are the number of concierge cabins by ship. Magic: 44 Wonder: 44 Dream: 41 Fantasy: 41 Wish: 76 So theoretically, Dream and Fantasy offer the best odds at securing a cabana.

My understanding is that they are limiting the number of large ships allowed in port on any given day, not the total number of passengers. Sounds like it wouldn't preclude Disney swapping out for a larger ship. I'm not saying they would send a larger ship, just that they easily could if they...

I don't think Edna Mode would approve.

Does seem a little strange, but not unprecedented. Eight years after the Disney Dreams show debuted, they christened the Disney Dream, a ship where the show has never played.

No personal experience there, but I did read a review from 2022 saying the waiter brought chicken fingers and fries for their picky 7-year-old.

I think this is roughly correct (in feet).

Thanks for all the input. It's very helpful. Other than cabana reservation (or waitlist) and dining reservations, what should they consider when communicating with Shoreside Concierge? Do they send a sort of list of things they can help with? Or are there "secret" requests that only...

My friends are about to book their first Disney cruise in concierge on the Wish. I'm a platinum cruiser, but never sailed concierge nor on the Wish at all. The sailing will be 4-nights and will already be within the 120 days booking window. What advice should I give them as far as how to get...
