No more last day server parades?

[earning.my.ears]

Apparently on my last cruise (Wonder), the servers did a parade on the last day during dinner. I also saw a video of this on YouTube where all of the servers "paraded" through the restaurant, all carrying the flags of their nations. But on my most recent cruise (4 nights on the Dream), this didn't happen. Of course, I'm not at all complaining, just curious. Is this only something they do with longer cruises, or on certain ships?

We've only see that on long cruises on DCL. However I don't recall seeing it on our recent 11 night Fantasy cruise. I could be wrong.

On our Feb cruise on Wonder, they did the parade through Tiana's Place and that's the only ship and restaurant I remember it happening

Had it on Wonder 7 night Alaska, did not have it on Fantasy 7 night WC.

I think they only do it on the older ships 7 nights or longer.

They did not do it on that sailing.

I have only had the "parade" on the classic ships (Wonder and Magic). I have done 5 night sailings or longer on those ships.

I have experienced it 4 times in the past on Magic/Wonder 7 night cruises. I was on the westbound Panama Canal a few months ago and they didn't do it. I meant to ask our servers why but I forgot.

I was told that there wasn't enough room in the Dream and Fantasy MDRs for them to really do it.

What a surprise. Yet people keep insisting that the tables are not "all that close".

On a 5 night cruise on the Wonder we were on, they did do this. I thought it was sweet.

We haven't had it on our last few Fantasy cruises, they were all 7 day cruises. We are main seating so maybe that had something to do with it.

No, apparently the Dream class ships don't do it. Only the Magic class.
