I know they've just reworked the ship to make it Disney but what they offering on this ship sounds far more exciting than the current Wish class

Didn’t realize the original ship had a coaster (same as the one Disney is keeping).
Here's a look at the coaster on land:
First and exclusive look at the roller coaster of the new Disney Adventure. Originally built for the Global Dream in 2020, the roller coaster has now been repainted and will be rebuilt for testing purposes in fall 2024. After the Disney Adventure float out in 2025, the roller coaster will be installed on deck. With a length of 303 m, it will be the longest roller coaster on a cruise ship.
So we had planned to take our kids to Australia for the first time Christmas 2025, with a stop in Tokyo on the way out and a long layover in HK on the way back…. After the Marvel Landing announcement I now need to rearrange EVERYTHING to work this into our antipodian adventure. At least they are short sailings…but I already find it stressful to do Wish in 3 days with so many options, no idea how we can accomplish everything on this ship in that time.

Agree - they seem to have gone the "floating" theme park route for this ship. Kind of makes the Wish class look boring. However, no word yet on if this ship will visit anywhere or just be a cruise to "nowhere" with the ship only being the attraction.

Ive listened to a couple of DCL podcasts the last week or so and they all seem to confirm that this will be 3 and 4 nights at Sea cruises with no port stops.
For me I would rather they did it as a 7 night rather than having to do a back to back in order to do all on the ship but I get for a new region why they want to quickly turn people over on the shorter cruises.
We are definitely going to sail but it’s very hard to justify 6+ days (after dragging my kids across the world) in a Disney bubble. I’m hoping it will be like the RCCL cruises out of Singapore where there’s more local food options and a lot of Mandarin used on the ship…but even still, 7 days is a lot of time that could be spent in Singapore itself, or Bali, or Bangkok, etc.

I think 4 days looks about right to get a good chance at enjoying the ship. I am 50/50 on if this looks like a thing for me. So many places in South East Asia I think I would rather spend time at, plus if I was craving some Disney Theme Park in the area would much rather go to Hong Kong or Tokyo rather than a limiting Theme Park at Sea.

The prices look really good for Adventure. As long as the product holds up. I'm very tempted.
We were in Singapore very briefly earlier this year on the way home from Vietnam (which I wholeheartedly recommend as a place to visit, and a short flight from Singapore), and the children liked what they saw of Singapore in the short time we were there and would like to return.
It is all lining up perfectly!
