Does anybody know if cruises that are ongoing during the Star Wars premiere will show the movie? I have read stories from other people saying movies premiere at sea at midnight (ship time) the same day they premiere on land but with Star Wars being SO massive, I am wondering if that will still be the case.

Going on my very first Disney cruise Dec 12-19 and being able to see Star Wars premiere at sea would be awesome!

I just want to say I'm very jealous of you. Enjoy your cruise and your movie premier.
 
Although that is usually true with premiere's - the Star Wars Day at Sea information on the DCL site includes this line:


  • Screenings of the Star Wars films—including the only at-sea screening of Episode VII—plus episodes of Disney’s animated series Star Wars Rebels
  • Star Wars celebrities and insiders share stories and sign autographs

I guess we will see if Disney holds out for the Star Wars cruises or not.

I read this as well which is why I figured I would ask. The wording could be interrupted a few ways though I feel. "The only at-sea screening of Episode VII" could simply mean that Disney cruise line is the only cruise line at sea showing the movie and it's not exclusive to just the special event cruises.

I guess unless Disney says something official, I won't know until we get on board. I am really surprised they are not doing a special Star Wars Day at Sea event for the day it premieres though! One of the reasons we picked these dates was because we hoped they would do something special for Star Wars Premiere. It's not going to ruin the whole trip if it doesn't happen, but I would be shocked if they don't show it. Of course we all know they are milking the franchise for any money they can. So much insane merchandise branded Star Wars (really Disney...shower heads?) and that $90-100 party event at HS is proof of that so maybe they won't show it because they don't want to lose out on our ticket sales. My only other thought as to why it won't be shown is because maybe they are being REALLY protective of the film to avoid any kind of leaks. Some very popular films in the past were not delivered to the theaters until the day before the premiere to keep things from leaking. Not sure if they would want the film sitting on the ship for nearly a week before it premiered.

Hopefully Disney says something official about it before we go so we can plan on having a REALLY late night!

Wow, I am in SHOCK! I never saw that language before! I booked this cruise specifically for the Prem-ear of Star Wars. That is not the only reason I am cruising, of course, but I will be SOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed if they don't show it. Honestly, I would have gone on another cruiselines with a cheaper cruise....

I never read it any other way than your first interpretation. I can see now how it could be confusing. Isn't there a number to call to see what movies will be playing on your cruise? I might be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere here

You can call the reservations line up to 2 weeks prior to sail date to get list of movies available to be shown.
 
All Disney movies are played on all the ships and every movie that Disney owns. So yes Star Wars will be shown on all 4 ships the day it comes out
 
I really hope so, we are set to sail Dec 18th so we wouldn't have time to go see it in theaters until we get back if they don't.
