Well, that sounds like an improvement to start with! (Assuming they weren't 2 groups with 50 each!)Based information I saw posted by one of the guide's on the Baltic cruise, for the first time, ABD had 2 groups on the Magic, each with 2 guides. Not sure how many were in each group...
Wow! I'm trying not to be bitter about that 25, lol! We skipped part of our add-on ABD to do the abba museum and it was a highlight. Ugh on the palo dinner, too. Is it a disboards report? I'll search around for it. It sounds like they read the reports here though and/or listened to the very disappointed feedback I gave them verbally when they called.I just saw some pictures posted from the cruise Add on and it looks like the group that I saw the pictures of, there was about 25 in the group...I noticed that this year they visited the Abba Museum in Sweden....I was hoping we would last year, but we didn't. It also looks like they did a Palo dinner in the private dining room for the adults and also some additional activities in Helsinki.
I mentioned this as well. Getting to know the people on the add-on ABD was definitely a lot harder than regular ABDs because of the separate dining issue.It also looked like from the photos that they did group activities around the ship, which was one thing I mentioned in my review. because there really weren't any on ship group activities, except dinner, I tried during the days to sit with different families to get to know everyone that was on our ABD..
