I would think they're still showing the "live" shows on the TV. They do (did) on all past cruises we've ever taken on DCL.I also need the answer to this. Can they show a video of the DCL shows on the TV at least? If I'm paying Disney prices for Disney level entertainment but not getting anything close to it then I may need to re-think my options.
I didn't know that. It's something at least.
I don't know for a fact. But Disney performers usually are union and it may depend on their contract regarding running recordings of shows.. I know WHEN news crews were allowed in Disneyland there was a 30 second limit on what we could shoot of "performers/bands". Not an issue there anymore because they no longer allow outside photographers in, just reporters. Disney provides the photographer so they can control what is shot.
The stage shows that DCL provides on the TV onboard are not livestreamed. They are recorded, usually from a different sailing. The versions on TV would have been shown anyway so I highly doubt there's any union issue due to whatever "technical" issues are keeping the current cast from live performances in the theater.
I was referring to rerunning of shows not technical issues. Didn't one of the ships have technical issues a couple of weeks ago at Castaway Cay that delayed disembarkation.........a ramp that allowed them to off load the food for guests on the island malfunctioned as I recall.
I agree i was on the cruise last week. They were very odd about it when believe got cancelled. At first they were going to do 3 shows of it on the last day but then suddenly those came off the schedule too. Cruise director was very vague with the reasoning so I’m sure it was COVID. Hoping for their quick recovery!
I believe she is on the Magic right now… she was brilliant.
The number of cases on board are not publically reported. The only indicator of covid on board is the CDC colour coding system that indicates the threshold levels for each colour. And given that yellow is earned by having just one crew member test positive (or .1% of the passenger compliment up to 5 days after debarkation), I think very little precise information with respect to actual numbers can be gleaned from the colour codes.
Yes… but that was from one ship (the Fantasy). It was a single public statement/press release to media. There have been plenty more cases. In fact, all of the Disney ships are classified as yellow currently because they have had cases on board but that information is not publically available.
What is the status going to St Thomas? Did they swap days with Tortola or are they just not going?
I wasn’t commenting on that post at all. All I was saying is that cruise lines are under no obligation to let the general public know of onboard infections. The only reporting obligation at this time is to the CDC who releases the information through their colour classification scheme.
We’d all feel better if we just could trust that we were given the truth. For instance, when our Castaway Cat activities were cancelled, they were then all listed as “sold out” giving the impression that all was well when it wasn’t.
