For those considering the Oct 25 transatlantic

I just got off the transatlantic and had an amazing time! I do want to give a few -keep in mind- for those considering next years:
- the weather was def not as nice as in September. We had two days with a lot of motion. This was my 28th Disney cruise and that first seaday was the worst I ever had. But besides motion it didnt get warmer til like the 4th day of the actual crossing so if sunbathing/swimming is a mustdo this is not the right pick
- a lot of European schools have one or two weeks schoolholiday at the end of October making this transatlantic European intensive and mire kids (Im european myself but def gives a different vibe)
- as far as characters; besides the Spanish outfits the other European outfits were no longer on the ship (where on other tas you get them regardless your ports)
- some stuff was not available such as ginger ale on the fountains, chips at signlas etc

Thank you. Good to know, as we are booked on Oct '25 WBTA on the Fantasy. Was the your cruise sold out? We were hoping that there would be less people in general, with less kids too. But either way, looking forward to all the sea days.

What baffles me is chips and ginger ale are readily available in Europe. There is no excuse for them to not have it onboard.

I know but as for the beverage stations the f&b offocer told me that the cartons and the gaz both have different connections in Europe vs their system so its not compatible. Last year they were out of coke zero and halfway also coke ligjt so that was even worse

All staterooms sold but under 2600 guests. Some rooms were also still taken by contractors finishing the funnel suite, the painting jobs etc
