The problem with that, if we admit they have space onboard to store the extra decors needed for the atrium, the M&G, the Dr Strange show and the costumes at all times, is the fact that they must offer contracts with set durations to the actors playing the characters. They board the ship, work for a numbers of continuous weeks then go on to another contract with them or elsewhere. They can’t just use anyone, as all the actors must know enough about the Marvel universe and their own character. Plus, since most characters are face characters, they can’t be used for anything else around the ship.
We were on one of the October MDAS sailings. Overall my favorite sailing to date, but super busy. We came back exhausted. I heard others feeling the same way - too much for one cruise. Between MDAS, HOTS and pirate night, it was jam packed (as were our suitcases with all the costume changes
). Of course, we didn't need to participate in everything, but I think even the CD had a hard time scheduling it all. Our sailing included a day at WDW, so a 7 night sailing was, from an onboard activities point of view, a 6 night. Add in Tangled with the Snuggly Duckling takeover, etc., and it was madness. Super fun, but madness. Perhaps DCL decided it was too much to fit MDAS into an already-themed cruise.
