Disney Wish Christening

Ok, so ultimately it was fine. I thought everything after the video at the beginning was useless. But I liked what I saw in the videos and hope they will let the people on the christening cruise actually post pictures and videos today and not tell them they have to wait until the 14th or whenever.
 
I thought there would be some footage inside the ship besides their promo shots...I found that a bit underwhelming. Lots of musical numbers.

When they announced it was going to be 25 minutes I figured we wouldn't get a full look inside. But I liked what they showed.
 
I'm not going to lie... I'm starting to wonder if the media boarding now is going to be kept to certain areas. If they don't have free reign I'm going to start worrying about the Maiden.

I'm already worried. The canceling of the test/CM/celeb cruises prior to the MV is a bit concerning.
Got our tags for the MV yesterday and those were underwhelming too. Just the regular envelope, no mention of MV,
I wouldn't be surprised if a) they delay it or b) lots of unfinished stuff and hiccups on that sailing.
I just hope it sails and it sails smoothly. I'm not superstitious but the lack of breaking the champagne bottle is worrisome. There is no rational explanation for not doing it. Whatever reasons they're giving are just baseless posturing by Disney.
 

Do I get points for predicting they would go with a non-Caucasian Disney princess as a guest? (Ok, my money was on her being the godmother, but guest star is close enough ;-) )
I hope we will see more of the ship soon. I saw some interesting things that make me curious. I know it's about giving the people what they want, but to see the same Disney princesses as other ships have as wel... I hope that in addition to Rapunzel, Tiana and Cinderella they will replace Belle and Ariel with some other princesses.

No use worrying. They won't push the MV back. Not if they are cruising today.
 
Yea so far I can say I'm seeing everything I wanted to see and I like what I'm seeing. Would be stunned if any part of the ship was "off limits".
 
Can't wait to find out if there's a full-circuit walking track and how big the adults-only area is on deck.
 
Two things I don’t like from those photos:

1) the dark brown stateroom furniture, it looks really cheap and that it will chip so easily
2) that carpet in the atrium

Most of the rest of the ship looks gorgeous though.
 
OK, I am mostly very impressed after seeing many more actual photos. Even the slide doesn't bother me now that I see it with its cute Alice theming. Marceline Market is better than the renderings looked to me too. There are a few places that things look a little too busy for my taste (some carpeting mostly), but overall, I think it maintains that classy DCL feel, but is still new, which I like.

Edit: Would still like to see video or photos of the adult pool area. Please post if you come across any.

Thoughts on if the ice room will require prebooking? Same with the area with those spa loungers and the hanging daybeds?
I was wondering the same thing..I didn’t think I saw it available to book prior for the Maiden Voyage.
