Dream - Oceaneers Club - Star Wars - Open hours

[amberlombardi22]

I promise you, I have searched and searched for an answer.

I assumed there would be open hours for this club so that my 14 year old and my husband (my grown up child) could both see the Millenium Falcon/Star Wars stuff. I read trip reports where this was done. Saw cool pictures of grown ups and older kids enjoying it!

But now I just had someone tell me there is no guarantee there will be open hours in that club. Especially on a cruise in the summer. We are going June 10th.

What?!?!

I am totally going to have to act surprised if this is the case. This was part of my strategy to convince them to go on ONE MORE Disney cruise.

Thoughts? Opinions? Guesses? I am open to hear anything.

Thank you!!

Amber

There are Open House hours in either the Club or Lab about 3 times a day. The actual times (and how many times) do vary, so there's no way of knowing for sure when. You can check past Navigators to get an idea of when these times were. As far as I know they have Open House on the Star Wars cruises, just like the non-Star Wars ones.

When the Club is Open House, the Lab it secured programming, and vice versa.

You just need to check your Navigator for the times.

There's an Open House on embarkation day that lasts pretty much until dinner time.

We "snuck" in on embarkation day and as @PrincessShmoo stated it was open until first seating dinner.

We prefer the term "youthfully exuberant adult." Oh, and I'm not her husband, but I'd better get myself onto that ship to check out that "ship."

Great pictures, @RebelHawk !

But now I just had someone tell me

Well, first step is who told you? Are they reliable at all? If most people say there will be open houses, why let one person’s statement sway you?

 

[amberlombardi22]

Youthfully exuberant adult. I will use that from now on!

bumbershot, a Travel Agent mentioned it to me. A disney one. I think that is why I second guessed myself. The part about the summer time cruises threw me for a loop.

Thanks for the replies!

Others have answered, but just to pile on. I was on that cruise last summer (June 11th departure) and will be on the June 10th cruise this summer. They absolutely have open house hours. I know they had them Sunday and Monday and maybe other days as well.

 

[amberlombardi22]

Thank you for answering! June 10 for us too! I will buy you a drink. Any chance you have teenagers?

 

[wherespluto]

I never turn down a drink.

No teenagers. Mine are 6 and 8.

Not sure if you have done the double dip before, but we loved it. Although castaway cay is always my favorite part of all of the cruises.

Have you both found your Cruise Meet thread? It's here https://www.disboards.com/threads/disney-dream-june-10th-2018-castaway-double-dip.3599279/

I have joined the Cruise Meet thread! And am not so patiently waiting for a family to mention that they also have a shy teenager so that maybe we can help them be friends...lol!
