If they truly intend to dump it in Asia, it probably won’t matter.

Cruises with stops at one (or more) Asian Disney resort would be really cool.

I was shocked to see that Hong Kong is 1800 miles from Tokyo…that’s a bit of a haul through some international hot spots
Can’t get there without passing Taiwan and Korea…doesn’t seem like a good idea

Shanghai is easier. 1100 miles like those NYC to Canaveral cruises that are pretty common.

No surprise, but still a bummer. I never wanted to sail on the thing but I hoped it might bop around the world a little bit and relieve some of the inventory pressure in the West.

Yes, knew this was coming. We still have the Treasure and unnamed ship coming, which will help...
No surprise. It was designed for the Asian cruise market and is being deployed into the Asian cruise market.

A pity they’ll miss out on stops at TDL, HKDL, or SDL.

As I said in previous posts, I think this was a good move by Disney. I know I will never sail on it but I still think it was a good move.
I hope TWDC puts out pics of the ship and I am looking forward to a YouTuber eventually giving us a tour.
