Thank you so much for posting as we all wanted to know which night is dress up night and which night is pirate night.

I am extremely disappointed that the Wonder is now leaving Nassau two hours earlier.

Not only did they bump up the onboard time from 7 to 5:00 but according to this they have also changed the ashore time at Nassau from 8:30 to 9:30. This might screw us up on the 10:30 Dolphin Swim that we booked independently (based on the orig. ashore time of 8:30). Can I ask what time you really were able to get off the ship at Nassau? Was it really not until 9:30?!

I saw a Navigator from the first Wonder DD cruise and it listed the all shore time as 9:30am....and that said "approximately 9:30am".

I had my private snorkeling excursion cancelled because it would have gotten us back at 6pm. In fact, that is how I found out that the departure time was switched!!!!

We are so disappointed as we were really looking forward to this excursion.

I don't understand the need to change the departure time....its not like the ship is sailing long distances to go from CC to Nassau and back to CC.

I've got people on my cruise meet thread having to rethink their plans for Nassau given the less time we have onshore.

They switched the Golden Mickey's to Sunday night, and the live entertainer has been switch to Tuesday?

Interesting. I would've assumed they would make the Golden Mickey's night the more formal night on the Wonder since that's what they seem to be going towards on the Magic.

That's what I told my DH. This was our first cruise, so we really didn't know how they had done the shows before. I mentioned to him that it made more sense to have the Golden Mickeys on the night that we had to dress up. Of course, I did see some people who were in semi-formal wear at the show. We were in our cruise casual clothes, however.

If you booked the 10:30 dolphin swim at Blue Lagoon, you should still be OK... because the Disney dolphin encounter there is also the 10:30 start time. It's apparently a 15-minute trip from the cruise terminal to the ferry to Blue Lagoon, which you have to be at by 10:00 to catch the ferry. So as long as you get off the ship as early as possible, you should be OK. (I have the exact same issue, btw, and both the dolphin people and the travel agency that booked my swim said that we shouldn't have any problems unless we're late getting off the ship).

HTH!

Am I missing something? I only see 2 dining times - 5:45 & 8:15

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been looking for these.
Remember all the times are subject to change, which I believe they do based on the number of daylight hours available.
So later in the summer the times may be different

We just found out about 2 or 3 weeks ago that for the double dips this summer they are experimenting with only one early and one late seating for dinner! EVERYBODY goes at the same time! I do not know what the plans are after the double dips end.

I hope we're OK...I know that Disney is still doing the 10:30 "encounter" so I figured we'd probably all end up on the same ferry boat over. It's just that if you book with DCL and something goes wrong with that ashore time you're covered. Since we booked the swim on our own we'd be SOL if they don't dock on time. DCL tells me they're due to dock at 7:30 and they show that ashore time is still at 8:30 - which conflicts with what they're putting on the Navigators. What time we can actually get OFF the ship is up to how quickly the port authority clears them. I'm wondering if they changed the Navigators because the port authority has been extra cautious or slow lately and have messed up the 8:30 timing more often than not?! I don't know. But I hope you are right!
