Disney Wish Float Out?

[OKW Lover]

Has there been any indication as to when the Wish will "float out" of the construction dock? Should be happening soon I would think.

Very curious about this,.

I was just pondering this the other day. We haven’t heard much lately in construction updates. With all the supply chain issues I’m concerned that she won’t sail on the schedule they set for the maiden voyage.

Check out updates on the Disney cruise line blog. It definitely looks like a Disney ship With its hull paint.

Wonder how far out the maiden voyage may be due to supply chain issues that we are not hearing about? We might see the inaugural sailing in July or August.

No news is not always good news.u

Wasn't there a live camera on the Dream and Fantasy being built? They don't have that for the Wish?

They did for a while, but then it went away. Disney probably didn't like it.

You can follow along on Scott's DCL Blog, though. There are usually updates about construction on the Wish once every week or two.

After a little research, the Dream and the Fantasy floated out ~90 days before the MV. That would make February 15 March 11 a likely date.

Seeing the progress on a couple different sites, it seems like they are still on schedule for the June cruises. I’m excited to see the float-out ceremony

Maiden voyage isn't til June 9th so wouldn't that make 90 days prior closer to mid March?

You are right! Sorry, I was looking at a different cruise (The PCC on the Dream) when I did that quick calculation. I'll go edit my original post to correct that.

There is an update post, dated 1/22/2022 with some more information. Potential Float out Early February, but weather conditional.

I’m told MW just had all its assets seized… we might be in trouble…

I don’t MV Werften is the same thing as Meyer Werft. I think MV Werften was only established to build ships for Genting.

ETA - I just googled and Werft/Werften means shipyard. So MV would be different than Meyer.
