Is anyone else bothered that the Wish's sailings are so short?

I would love to book a sailing on the Wish but I feel that 4 nights are just not enough

How long has Dream been scheduled for the 3 and 4-night cruises? YEARS!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Yup 100% should have been 7 night sailings.

Also the reason I'm doing b2b on the Wish in Jan. 3 night and a 4 night.

Our last Dream sailing was Jan 2020, B2B, just for that reason.

Nice!! This will be my first b2b so I'm pretty excited. January 2023 is so far away! lol (I don't want it to come fast either cause that means winter and -45!)

Congrats. B2B is so much fun. Are you in Alaska?

They made it 3/4 nights so more people could cruise on the ship itself. Also, likely bringing in more revenue as well.

Thanks! No, I live in Southern Manitoba. We have wonderful sunny year round skies.... amazing HOT summers (90f and higher)...but HORRENDOUS winters! Dec-March can be -30 down to -48 and worse. Gotta love those prairie winds! (and damn Colorado always sending us their "lows" lol)

We feel the same here in New Mexico (extremely hot, dry, and mild winters); those darn Canadians and their polar blasts

Yeah, Dream has always been the land and sea ship right? Tack a short cruise on the end of the WDW trip? Now Wish might fill that slot, plus increased demand for the new ship means they can move more guests. In a few years I guess we'll see if it gets better itineraries or becomes the new Dream.

I think a B2B is the only way to go on the WISH.

Where in New Mexico if you don't mind me asking? I'm in ABQ.

Absolute same.

Well I mean Canada is a huge country. Manitoba & Saskatchewan usually get the worst in winter. If you were to go to Toronto, Ontario they have EXTREME WEATHER WARNINGS at -15c. All we can do from here when we're in -40c (at the same moment) is laugh at them! And then we're all freezing to death and people in Vancouver are wearing shorts and exclaiming about how their cherry blossoms are blooming!

 

[SandyinMonterey]

Yes! We prefer at least 7 days. Really bummed. Hoping at some point The Wish will change to at least a 7 day cruise.

Agree. A 3 night cruise you are on the boat for less than 72 hours.., you barely have time to start to figure it out before you are off. 5 nights is my minimum. I would love to do a B2B on the Wish, but that’s pricey for a family of 3. Maybe we will try a 4 night at least

 

[MomOTwins]

We booked a back to back on the Wish for March 2023 and it was only slightly more expensive than a 7 night on the fantasy. I think of it as a “double dip”. I think it will be nice to try going onshore in Nassau for a change—when we just do the 3 or 4 night bahamas cruises, we turn nassau into a sea day, but with 7 days we’ll be able to try Atlantis or blue lagoon.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I guess we are bothered. We cancelled 3 night Wish in December for 5 nights on Dream.

 

[Joel0917]

Agree with OP that’s why we too are doing B2b in august

All about revenue I suspect. You run twice as many people per week through a ship, you sell twice as many Tee Shirts, etc.
