see you there!
"During a traditional maritime ceremony held today in Bremerhaven, Germany, Disney Cruise Line took delivery of our newest ship, the Disney Wish!
Delivery is the final milestone in the ship’s construction journey, which began more than two years ago at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany and was made possible through thousands of shipyard workers and the creative vision of Disney Imagineers.
Disney Cruise Line President Thomas Mazloum and Meyer Werft Managing Director Jan Meyer signed the official documents transferring ownership of the Disney Wish from the shipbuilder to Disney.
Numerous Meyer Weft and Disney Cruise Line executives came together to witness the lowering of the Meyer Werft flag and raising of the Disney Cruise Line flag on the ship.
Disney Cruise Line presented Meyer Werft with an elegant Cinderella statuette commemorating the beautiful life-sized bronze statue that welcomes guests in the ship’s Grand Hall. A pillar of The Walt Disney Company’s legacy, Cinderella’s story is the epitome of magic transforming wishes into dreams and dreams into reality.
Following the ceremony, Captain Marco Nogara took the helm of the Disney Wish for the transatlantic voyage from Bremerhaven to her home in Port Canaveral, Florida."

Don't know if it's reputable, but there is talk on social media that there are some major problems on the Wish right now which may have an impact on things.
I'm just passing along what is being whispered. I have no knowledge if any of it is accurate.

This is a report I found about today’s cancellation. Doesn’t really confirm more than what has been posted on social media.

You know what's funny?
Better now than to pull a “wonder of the seas”

What happened on WOS? Seems fine in Europe. The flooding issues on the April cruises?
Personally, I avoid ships during their first few sailings. They are bound to have bugs.

I was exaggerating a bit but they had a significant sprinkler malfunction (fire suppressant system).

Eek…so the first cruise will be the media cruise? No pressure…

Get the kinks out before loading it with people. A good idea. This isn’t any type of unprecedented move.

I understand that but it’s not ideal for your first cruise to have the media.
