Sailing in February 2017, eastern (Tortola). Any quesses as to which sea day will be Star Wars day?

I think it was day 4 or 5 on our cruise in April.

Would that have been western Caribbean though?

Yes, it was. The Star Wars day was on the sea day on the way back towards CC.

Cool, maybe they will do the same for this year's eastern trips. We'll know for sure once they happen, but as a compulsive planner I like to know now so I can plan brunch and such

Emailed DCL to ask and was told SW at sea days will all be held on Thursdays for all sailings.

Now I wonder when lobster night will be?

Agh! Find out! That's almost as important, especially before trying to make Palo/Remy reservations. Hopefully the same source will tell you?

 

[allears]

Nope, don't think they will. I can just "hear" them say menus aren't set until closer. We may have to wait for compatible Navagators for this info.

This year's Star Wars day was day 5 (Wednesday). Moving it to Thursday, would put it on the semi-formal night. Unless they are either moving semi-formal night to Wednesday, or eliminating it. Moving it would mean that the Captain's Gala menu (semi-formal night menu, usually) would be on Wednesday. Eliminating it would mean no lobster.

Since they are not doing both a Pirates menu and Star Wars menu, almost makes sense to move the Prince & Princess dinner to night four, Captains Gala to night five and Star Wars falls on night six. No reason to eliminate the Captains Gala when the Pirate menu already gets eliminated on SWDAS.

last time we went, it was the second day at sea. I assume they haven't changed that?

Do you mean the Star Wars day? Earlier this year (only on the Western itinerary) it was on day 5. Technically the second sea day. It appears it may be on day 6 for the next set of cruises. That would be the 3rd sea day for both Eastern and Western itineraries.

Trusting the response DCL gave above, it will be on Thursday. So it isn't necessarily tied to a particular (first, second, etc) day at sea.

There is no 3rd sea day on the western itinerary. They put Jamaica back on the itinerary for 2017 so now there are only two sea days (day 2 and day 6) which are normally formal and semi-formal night.

Well, apparently not any longer. At least for those cruises.

This was the response from Dcl

"It has been determined that Star Wars Day at Sea activities will take place on Thursdays."

It seems to me that Thursday is a fairly constant sea day on both east and west so it makes sense that they would standardize this event. It will be interesting to see if they keep a semi-formal night as well as the pirate night.

Well, they weren't doing much on the Pirate night on the SW cruises in the past. It was sort of a Pirate night lite. They could keep Pirate night (such as it is) and eliminate the Prince & Princess menu. Pirate night - night 4; semi-formal night (Captain's Gala menu) - night 5, and Star Wars night 6.
