Just got off the Wonder on the 23rd. There was anywhere from 1200 to 1400 people on board per various sources (talking to the Servers or Cast Members). There were plenty of open tables in the main dinning rooms that we saw. The tables were close enough that you could talk to the next table if you liked. There were no Navigators provided. You had to use the app. We were able to get a crew issued navigator from our Room Host, but otherwise don't expect to receive a paper navigator any longer. So it is very hard to try and post what is going on due to everything now being on the app.Thank you for offering to do this! I’m curious about numbers onboard and how far apart dining parties are from one another in the dining rooms. Also, I haven’t seen yet a navigator from anyone on thr first trip out. I know it’s electronic now so a bit different to post, but just curious about characters onboard (my kids are asking!).

As for characters, I saw all the typical Disney Characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc.) along with the various Princess's and we also saw Spiderman.

Thank you for the information. I wish that Disney would post the navigators of past trips. if it’s all electronic now, it would be so easy.Just got off the Wonder on the 23rd.

I wonder about the protocols for Covid testing on board: do they randomly test passengers, do they only test if someone has “symptoms”; and what would those be? Would a child with a cough and runny nose have to get tested for example?Send me any questions you have about the Wonder, Alaska, Vancouver, etc. I'll get as many answers as I can while on my June 6 sailing and report back afterward. If I can report from the ship, I'll do a little of that too.
The navigators are on the TV and in the app.Are the daily navigators posted anywhere, or on your TV, or is the app literally the only way to see what is going on (so inconvenient!!)?
In the past, Disney did offer a debarkation day excursion in Vancouver. I am not sure if it has restarted, but it is important to know that those debarkation day excursions are never guaranteed. If there are not enough people that sign up, it is not offered. So, you can inquire at the Port Adventures desk and they will keep you advised.Can you check and see if there are any Post Cruise port adventures that can only be booked while you’re on the ship
we have a late night flight and looking for things to do while we wait for our 11 pm flight
thank you

Is the ship WiFi robust enough to connect to remote proctoring so you can do the Covid test needed to fly back to the US while on board at sea the last day?
We stayed on the ship for this; and everyone on deck 10 was commenting that the pilot and the captain, had to have a bet going to see if the pilot could reach the tour boats by the edge of the ice. From what I've heard is that the tour boats couldn't get any closer due to to ice. So it could be due to the time of the year, I just don't know. Someone standing next to me on Deck 10 commented that he was on a different cruise line for this stop before and the cruise ship wasn't able to get close enough to even see the glacier from the ship. So the only way people on that cruise saw the glacier was to do the excursion..Thought of another question! Someone had posted that the Dawes excursion didn’t get close to the glacier, that it stayed by the ship. I’m not sure if you’re going on the excursion, or if you are within earshot of anyone who is, but I’m curious whether this was due to calendar timing or if this is a more regular occurrence. (especially that it is not a cheap excursion).
