Fewer fireworks?

[SpaceRangerEric]

We just came off a 4 nighter on the Dream and had an absolutely amazing time.

My wife and I came away with only one negative comparison to our first DCL cruise. Are there fewer fireworks now and are there less deck space playing the pirates music?

We could be misremembering. Anyone have a similar comparison?

I thought it might be my imagination, but the fireworks did seem shorter to me last summer than other times in the past. Maybe it wasn't just me.

I thought they were pretty good last December. Similar to other cruises. I think some if it is that things are not new the second time around, thus expectations could be different.

Be thankful you get them at all. Alaska cruises are not dark enough for them, same with the Northern Baltic cruise....we got Frozen instead. Some areas do not allow them because of environmental concerns. As far as fireworks go, just "let it go."

I've noticed they are shorter on the Dream than on the classic ships. I am going on the Fantasy for the first time (12 days!!) and I'll see if they are similar to the Dream's duration. The Magic in September had a healthy duration in my opinion.

Jaded on just my second cruise.

Alaska has environmental restrictions to preserve the region. No fireworks so everyone can combine to enjoy the amazing country as long as possible.

Ha - not jaded... IMO and experience its natural to perceive things differently when you have experienced them before. Not saying they were shorter or not.
