I watched both the Dream and the Wish pull in this morning. Watching the Wish, at first I thought that UFO's were there to greet the ship. Then I realized it was Drones.

Beautiful ship

 

[OKW Lover]

Beautiful ship. I can hardly wait for the MV.

 

[Cruising Engineer]

Can't wait to see the videos on the arrival (and those drones).

Did they have fireworks this morning?

Did they have fireworks this morning?

No. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of fanfare. Dream and Fantasy had a much bigger celebration.

Feels like they are saving all of that for the 29th. Was nice to see all the crew and cast members out waving to everyone though.

My DS and his GF went to see her arrive....

She is a beauty! Counting down the days until we sail....

Beautiful ship! I like the Mickey on the front tower, but I think the big slide detracts from the beauty of the top deck. Her horns are terrible.

For a ship that size, it looks really nice, not tacky like some other lines. After our Wonder cruise I was hoping to cruise on the Magic and then the Dream, but the Wish has just bumped those two down the list even with the jacked up prices. It just makes me sad that it doesn't go anywhere more interesting than Nassau and CC and likely won't for a long time if ever.

the 'official' celebration is still a couple of weeks out . . .

The next event of the new ship’s welcome celebration will be her official christening, slated for Wednesday, June 29 at Cruise Terminal 8 in Port Canaveral.

While the exact time for this event has not yet been announced, nor have many details been released, it is sure to be a high-profile ceremony

The highlight will be the official naming, which will involve the traditional champagne bottle breakage over the ship’s hull, a time-honored ceremony for all cruise ships.

Rehearsals for the christening are planned in the days leading up to the official event, and Disney Cruise Line has received approval for bleachers, a stage, audio and light towers, video walls, tents, and special effects to be used as part of the event, ensuring that it will be a spectacular and memorable occasion.

Just for clarification on this (incase anyone didn't know) Disney has announced they will be live streaming the christening with live performances, Disney stars, cast and crew showing the inside of the ship among other things at 11am EDT on June 29th. It will be a big thing.

I was watching the video on Scotts blog and thinking "why is it still dark? I thought this was supposed to be at 5am?" Then realized d'uh, I'm much further north than Florida lol Here in Vancouver, by 5am at this time of year it's practically broad daylight
