Yes. That is a common and legitimate complaint regarding the adult areas. The other ships all have a centralized area with bars/lounges/clubs. With some other bars spread around the ship. On the Triton class ships these areas are spread around the ship with no centralized adult area.
Ok, I’m either mixing up cruise ship reviews or read something incorrect then. Wonder why they changed the layout if the motivation wasn’t increased spending at the shops? The old setup sounds like it was very well liked.
I think the woman in charge of the design of the new class of ships has admitted she had never been on a cruise ship.
I did not see the first fly until I sat down with food. It was a constant battle for the next 10 minutes to avoid investing "extra protein". This puts a fair dampener on the day when eating is one of only three things on your itinerary.
She actually made that comment in the Disney+ documentary about the Wish. I think it was meant to show her journey and struggles as a point of interest, but yeah, in hindsight that seems like not the best thing to highlight. I hate to say it because I am still a pixie duster for the most part, but I can see why people accuse Disney of being out of touch with their consumer base.I think the woman in charge of the design of the new class of ships has admitted she had never been on a cruise ship.
You would think that would be a pre-requisite before being appointed to head up the design team.
It explains why "little" things such as the walking deck seemed okay to omit. People, who cruise a lot, really love that space to get out, see the ocean, and walk off a little of the endless food.
I used the ever-loving crap out of the one on the Magic. I started walking an hour a day about 5 weeks ago and the last thing I wanted to do was break that newly formed habit.
Limit outdoor walking, bring the focus back inside to the new, premium shopping area. It's "more Disney."
It's for sure The Bayou. It's a gorgeous lounge, but it's not big enough. For some strange reason ( probably because it's centrally located) they do the arts n crafts activities in there, and there just are not enough seats. So you've got people of many ages literally seated on the floor of the corridors, with their backs up against the walls of the fancy shops, coloring or whatever the craft is. It's insane.
Well, yes, they put all the fancy designer shops all together. Us normies have to go upstairs to Deck 5 to find things that we'll buy, like DCL branded merch.
The lack of a proper walking deck without stairs is the reason why I will never sail on a Triton class ship again.
This is the main reason we canceled our Treasure reservation. I don't want to spend all that money just to be angry the whole time.
It was used on my cruise early in the year and... it was full and standing with the venue at capacity. The venues are all just too small. Such poor planning.
That seems like a really strange use of a themed lounge, although I’m not a cruiser so what do I know.
It’s pretty common. Nearly every lounge space on every ship is used for activities such as crafts and trivia at various times throughout the cruise. Space is limited on board so most venues perform many functions.
They do have some. Plus the Junkanoo celebrations.
I'm staggered the walking deck is that big a deal. There is still is a walking deck with stairs on the wish and because it goes out to the front of the ship it's kind of the same length as the other ones. Just with much better views. I can see it being an issue for those addicted to jogging and those with bad knees. But for everyone else I think it's actually better because of the views.
