Just back from the 11/18 Wonder - First 7 day sailing from Galveston

[queenofeverything]

Just off today from a very Wonder-ful cruise! Lots of kids on board, of course, since it was Thanksgiving week. The ship looks great - new and shiny. All decorated for Christmas, the lobby atrium is absolutely beautiful. Tianna's Place is a total hit. Great food and fun entertainment. Some familiar dishes and some new. Frozen is just stunning. The two leads had Broadway caliber voices, just lovely. I'll post more later and happy to answer questions.

Thanks for posting your report. I'm going to be on the 12/23 sailing so I will be following along.

Happy to hear you had a great vacation. Any pics of the refurbished ship?

 

[Rabb it]

Wow, glad you had such a good time! I can't wait to see that Frozen performance!

Was The Golden Mickeys or Disney Dreams updated?

We have sailed on the Wonder last year and they had a night dedicated just to Frozen. Specialty dinner and Freezing the night away outside show. I am assuming now with the Frozen broadway show that they would still have a Frozen theme night. Is that correct? Last year it was held on the semi formal night on the cruise. Can you let me know what night they held Frozen on your cruise? We are sailing on the December 2 Wonder. What did you think of the meal if they had a special Frozen theme? Last year it was not good and we switched to eat at Palo last minute based on the recommendation of our server.

Golden Mickeys YES and it is great! Dreams sadly no...

I was a little disappointed there was no Frozen menu or deck party. The Frozen show was on the 6th night. Three showings. Thanksgiving was on our 7th night so that was our semi-formal night. They did have a "Frozen Fun Night" in the D Lounge which started off pretty lame with a karaoke type contest. Not sure if any of the characters came out later since my 4 yr olds were bored and we left early.

Can you confirm if the "secret" verandaha on deck 7 is gone?

I know in the past 2 years they've only had Frozen night (deck party and Frozen menu) for Alaska, west coast, and Panama Canal cruises for the Wonder. For Alaska it takes the place of Pirate night as they can't do fireworks up there. I assume that's still the plan for now then...

Did you happen to save your Navigators and would you mind sharing them? Thank you much! Were there many activities for the days you had at sea?

I sailed on the Wonder last November (7 night) out of Galveston and we had the Frozen menu & deck party.

Thanks for the info! I thought it was just the West coast cruises.

I'd love to see your navigators if you are able to post them! We leave Dec. 16th. Also wondering if the dining menus changed on the second night of the rotations - particularly the menu for AP since my family saw the one that was posted online after the first 4 night cruise and found almost nothing they would eat. One last question - on the Magic they started doing ticketed Marvel meet and greets after the kids club was renovated to the Marvel theme. Do you know if that was offered on your sailing? Thanks!!!!!!

I have another question as well! Was it too cold to get into the pools the morning of embarkation in Galveston? We usually board the ship and then head over to the pools first...

I was on this cruise, and thought it was a little chilly to get into the pool, but it didn't stop my kids from getting in and playing for a while. They didn't mind it at all.
