If I get to play card games with Han or Lando type characters, you can bet the bank I’ll be having fun. I really doubt they’ll have us playing solitaire. Just because the activity seems simple does not necessarily mean it’s bad.
In a visit to SWGE in 2019, Chewbacca was roaming the land and actually stopped to play sabacc in the marketplace. It was cool to watch and I wish I had been able to sit down and play with him. I can totally see characters at the sabacc table on this cruise.

That’s your opinion on the activities, and you are certainly allowed to think that. But you also prove my point.

How exactly can you say they are “underwhelming” when no one has even experienced them yet? If I get to play card games with Han or Lando type characters, you can bet the bank I’ll be having fun. I really doubt they’ll have us playing solitaire. Just because the activity seems simple does not necessarily mean it’s bad.

I’m sure not every single activity will be an absolute knock out, but Disney will adjust if needed. (This goes back to my statement that people signing up for this, including myself, are not going in dumbly/naively). I’m sure they’ll be surveying guests heavily as they head out the door.

I personally read through the list and said this looks fun. I also thought about my dad and his lifelong love of Star Wars and thought wow, I could make some memories with him to treasure for the rest of my life. It’s not always just about the money.
Well done

Aren't the list of activities out? I recall seeing one and it included "card games" and other underwhelming options.
Just another money grab, right? The turnover rate with Disney Execs must be high as they never seem to be charging enough. Every time we turn around they are selling out something else as the price is never high enough....

Out of 15 'cruises' in May, only 5 still have (some) openings. March and April are fully booked.

It's actually booking more slowly than I was expecting, considering how few spots are actually available every month. That may just be because of the difficulties involved in actually making a reservation, though.
There's that.

There's also lack of transparency in that any date that is listed as available may only have a few 'cabins' left. We don't know how filled the available dates are. We may be looking at the tip of an iceberg.

Also true, but since there are so few cabins to begin with, I don't think that makes a huge difference. It's not like they have 750 cabins to fill for each "cruise".

Are there any hotel/cruise booking sites that give you that transparency? (well, with a cruise site you can actually try to choose a room to see, but it can take some time)

An event which sells out quickly was underpriced. Looks like there is little or no availability for the next 6 months.
A lot of people don't book a year in advance.

I wonder how many guests will cancel before final payment is due

I run a Disney FB group. I would say just as many, if not more, book a year or more out as book with shorter notice.

Is the availability page broken for me? It shows June, July, August and September as totally open and the original date I wanted in April also.

We're saying the same thing..A lot of people book on shorter notice. An event which sells out fast is underpriced. Potential guests who might have booked 9 months in advance, at a lower price, are replaced by guests booking 4 months out at the higher price.

With the booking and refund policy, I wouldn’t book a June reservation until last-minute because I don't want plans to change and be out a significant amount of money.
