Just back from the Disney Wonder - Any questions?

[ironz]

Was there Bingo? We're going on the Dream soon and have some extra credit to blow on that (vs moving it forward to another cruise).

Yes, we played twice. Never won though!

Get there early. They limit the number of people in the location, and it filled up on our cruise (first one out of Galveston).

We had no issues with Bingo seating on our cruise out of Galveston. The room was not nearly at even a reduced capacity limit for us and we did not arrive much before the start.

Is it real bingo with daubers, or the punch out kind?

We had sheets we punch out or mark with a crayon. 6 boxes per page and we bought 2 sets of 4 pages for $40

What movies are playing right now?

I think "Spider-man: No Way Home" is probably going to be an option. It's official release date is December 17.

I wouldn't count on it. Spider-Man is one of those with tricky cross-marketing.

Oh that's right! I forget that those aren't even available on Disney Plus, either. We had been kind of planning on watching it on our upcoming cruise... We'll be on a 6-night on the Wonder in 2 weeks, and I was guessing that might be the third "show" they added in the evening.

Maybe a stupid question, but was the checkin process (with Covid tests, etc.) at the port "obvious"? That is do we plan to arrive with our luggage just like usual and then we'll know where to go from there, or is there anything tricky? Do they take the luggage before you complete the Covid check, or do you have to hang onto it until cleared?

When you arrive, you drop off your luggage like normal. The you walk down the sidewalk past where you normally would enter and join the line to enter the far entrance to then get COVID tested. So yes, it is very obvious where to go - nothing to worry about.

I highly doubt they will show Spider-Man as it is distributed by Sony, not Disney/Marvel.

Is this a far walk?

I saw someone say that they did show the first Spider-Man on the cruise is so let’s cross our fingers. I’m on the Magic that week.

I've heard they are only using the sheets now, not the electronic thingies. And be aware the pricing increases later in the cruise (as do the prizes).

 

[KashasMom]

Thanks for sharing! We're on the Feb. 8th cruise out of NOLA. Was Cozumel your only scheduled port when you booked? We're scheduled for Cozumel and Grand Cayman, but it seems GC may be a no-go. I hope that there is another show - or something - on our 6 nights.

Are the hot drink stations open late, or would I have to order room service after hours?

 

[DisneyCowgirl]

Is this a far walk?

Not at all. The walk through the switchback line to get inside for testing is longer than the walk from where you leave your bags. Plus, you can pull up and drop luggage with the porter, then have whoever’s driving pull forward and drop you right in front of doors.

The drink stations are only open when a person is manning them. They do shut them down overnight. I ordered hot tea from room service in the evening—they bring the water in an insulated carafe and it stays hot a long time.

I think they closed at 12am
