I wish they did this on the Treasure instead. The Destiny is doing a lot of 4/5 night sailings and having more downtime for the Haunter Mansion Parlor is going to keep a space that is already crowded more so.

My assumption is that many brides do not like the look of the concept art of the Destiny Atrium for a wedding. Which I can't blame them. It is a big difference between getting married with Aladdin and Cinderella vibes vs Marvel

My assumption is the weddings will be in the morning. The Parlor typically opens at noon on sea days, with photo op time in the morning.

Maybe thats WHY they're doing it on the Destiny..? A lot of folk really like Haunted Mansion so maybe it can boost bookings.

Do these updates make it feel like its not nearly as ready as the Treasure was this many weeks prior to sailing? Like I am getting Wish aka 'we are scrambling' vibes from every update.

Looks to be on track to me.

I am sure it will sail on time but it feels like it is going to be closer to the opening on the Wish (still actively painting things during media previews) vs what happened with the Treasure.

Random question but does anyone know the purpose of the harness they're all wearing?

Let me know when the small ships have some news… I’m so over the Triton class news updates…

Random question but does anyone know the purpose of the harness they're all wearing?

They have reflectors on them (you can see the white balls on their shoulders) that allow the positioning and orientation of actors to be known by the lighting/effects system. Their costumes likely have the reflectors built in but the vests allow them to rehearse without their full costumes. There were some videos talking about the technology when Moana debuted on the Treasure because there are similar reflectors on Moana's boat.

The more robust harness with leg straps is so they can lift the performer (make them fly) off the stage (or simply as a safety measure if they are performing on an elevated platform in case they fall off).
