Thoughts on the Adventure?

Any ship is usually designed with a central atrium. It’s not an “American” concept. Only one cruise ship is even flagged & registered to the USA. The company originally designed it without an atrium. A Hong Kong company. (Usually a cost measure). Their choice…went bankrupt.

"They went bankrupt because they designed a ship without an atrium" is such a bizarre take.

I get the different ship style experience. I don’t understand the all out at sea. So far haven’t seen much on what the “cruising” looks like.

Think of it like cruises out of Florida to Nassau where everyone in the know simply treats Nassau as an extra sea day, just without the legal requirement of Disney needing to go to Nassau x times a year so no need to keep up appearances of a port day no one wants.

I disagree, it does create extra people because those people will come from everywhere to meet a character.
You are underestimating the Asian guest and their love of characters and queues.

Less characters might swing someone to do something else with their time, but if they know there are more they could be more likely to focus only on the characters.

I’m happy with the look of this ship so far, I’m glad it’s different. I don’t see the appeal of going on ships that are essentially the same and have the same offerings.

I’m really excited to experience it for myself.

Ok you get those people dont materalise out of thin air right? They are always on the ship doing something? As I said in the post you quoted, if it doesnt make the lines shorter for characters it certainly makes the lines a lot shorter at other activities or provides more spaces in restaurants and at pools. Having more things to do makes lines shoter when there is a captive audience. More things to do is always better for all the customers even if those things they add last are of no interest to you. Cos it shortens queues and frees up spaces elsewhere.

All those ships go to disney islands where people swim in the ocean and go for bike rides. Thats a big part of those cruises. For many its there favourite day of the cruise.
