could be for sure - also maintenance and just downtime for a lot big rides, especially at DHS. Have Rise and/or ToT go down for an hour and all those people go into other lines and then they have to catch up once the ride is back up
That's exactly the issue we had at the studios this summer. And with Disneys woeful handling of the parks, it makes it all the worse. There's so little to do at the studios even with those rides being up, that when two major rides go down, it's a cluster. It's a major reason I harp on capacity so much.
When it works out to $200-300 per day on a cruise which includes entertainment , all u can eat, cabin, etc it is more economical that other vacation options.
Castaway is a place I liked to visit especially learning about its infamous past usage and why the runway was built before Disney took over the island.
Agreed, I have seen the same. The question is do you think that there will be a faster course correction? I know one situation happened on a Celebrity ship, The Equinox, I believe, they started offering fresh baked cookies with an upcharge of $2.00 per cookie, plus a 20% gratuity. People were really mad, it was actually called Cookiegate (hilarious) and it was addressed by Celebrity almost immediately. They had done it as a test and despite everyone on board loving it ( their statement on the issue) and the free cookies still being offered at other locations onboard, they have pulled it. Also Royal sent out a questionnaire asking if people would pay for pizza onboard at Sorrento's, the currently included pizza venue on the Royal Ships. The response they got was overwhelmingly negative and some were downright angry. I have a feeling they wont be charging for pizza anytime soon. Im not saying they are perfect, but they are listening.

One thing I liked about the stories the cast members tell. When you ride on the tram at Castaway on the runway to get to the adult beach, the small trailers off to the side covered in landscaping is where the cast members that work there live on the island.
Kingdom Konsultant did a group sailing on the Wonder of the Seas in June. My roommate and I sailed on a 7 night Western Caribbean sailing in a Veranda Stateroom for about $3800.00 for the two of us, not per person. That works out to roughly $271.43 per person per day, not including any excursions. Not bad for the entertainment ( The comedy shows were hilarious and the musical entertainment was great) The food was great and service in the Main Dining room was exceptional. The menus for the most part were good except for the Italian themed night. I spoke to my server and her site manager about that as there wasnt a lot that I wanted to order that night, as opposed to the other nights where I had a few things I could select from and be happy with. The Italian night was just so-so. Im sure that they made note of the feedback and perhaps some changes will come if enough people make a similar complaint. Marie
I have a sailing on the Utopia in the winter of 2025 for two people in an Ocean View Verandah room for 4 nights ( Utopia is only doing 3 and 4 night sailings) going to Nassau, Bahamas as well as Perfect Day at Cococay. The total with my Diamond discount is just under $2000.00 total for both people. averaging out to $250.00 per person per night. Marie
Can you guesstimate what you spent on food to do a reasonable comparison? Also what kind of dining, all quick service, some sit downs, etc.? Marie
