Whatever they want except it has no barring on the final outcome of the so called 'story'
Well there is always the initital hype. And it was far too late to cancel without losing half of your money when it is 60 days or less which explains March and most April dates. Summer is Summer and the first one of the newest hotel with limited space. People are bunking with strangers to save money on this thing. A sold out trip could theoritecally be only 200 people or less.
Talk to me next September to see how this is going and if the prices had to be altered, which at some point they know they are willing to do and it could still keep a profit with adjustments.

At least he got to visit a pool.
And Bob Chapek I don't think can say the same words convincingly.
Isn't that mostly what happens to them for 30 hours when the First Order and Storm Troopers are questioning and taunting them? That is half of the interactions.
Interviews and PR from a while ago said that there could be an alternate ending that favored the First Order.
It was said to show that players steer the actions with their choices.
BUT... what's the chances that the majority of attendees are so First-Order-sided that they can swing that?
E.g., when they're sneaking Chewie through the dining room during Gaya's performance and the 'good guys' have to shield him and distract the First Order... anyone there on the side of the First Order could have run up to Lt. Croy and pointed out Chewie was there. But they didn't.
Maybe if they did it would have started a fist fight. Or maybe to stop Lt. Croy once Chewie was spotted, someone could have decided to create an even bigger diversion by screaming, "FOOD FIGHT!!"
From the videos I've seen of this one voyage, there were a few people who took First Order missions and at the finale, Lt. Croy pointed them out; but, they were a small number and never did anything 'big' like thwart whatever the good guys were doing at the moment.
I doubt will ever see enough Dark-Siders to throw the W to the First Order.

I believe it was on the 3/4th floor concourse? Right where the California grill check in is now…he was in transit when he put the nail
In his own political coffin
From a high of about 28 a week ago, there now are only 6 cruises available for March thru June.
For July thru September, there aren't a lot of fully booked cruises yet (and never were). But the number of booked cruises went up from 7 two days ago to 8 today.

Some say 'a waste of money', others say 'a complete waste of money."

Ballroom of the Americas B right in front of the stage more specifically.. it’d be fairly easy to match the exact spot with video/photos..

Does anyone know if the costumed performers onboard the Halcyon are Equity or for that matter union at all? I'm trying to map out in my head what the drivers are that got Disney to the aggressive pricing of this whole thing. It's clear the construction on a per guest room basis is well above what they might normally spend but that doesn't account for all of the price.
It's clearly an extraordinarily labor-intensive operation with indications there are many behind-the-scenes people supporting the engagement of the crew members on board through headsets feeding them info and cues. I'm guessing the cast to guest ratio is way, way higher even than it is on the cruise line. If all of those are equity performers that would be a factor in the total costs. Not to mention the extraordinary amount of training and test-and-adjust costs to get everything and everyone ready for opening.

It's excellent, isn't it?
It's the only video I've watched on the Starcruiser outside of a couple of seconds of the posts of one or two bloggers.
For sure.
Actors in GE making it feel like more real and alive location?
Absolutely, it should have been done - and should be done.
But it never seemed doable to have story lines play out with guests in GE the way it was promised.
Just too large of a scale.

Not the same. The First Order “bully” guests in character. They don’t make fun of them for wanting to participate in role-playing or puzzle-solving.

See what I mean? $6000 is the right price to repel those who feel the need to tear others down in order to feel better about themselves. It works!

If they built something that resembles Star Wars I would have booked day one. I have the money to go. I live very comfortably but there is nothing here to a long time Star Wars fan that looks like Star Wars or anything that makes me go 'I have to do this!!'

This is something I don’t understand (or like), too. Obviously this flex space was cheaper, but maybe they also did it this way for some story reason?
A “ballroom”-type dance?
Some sort of droids that need lots of space to move around (but not a lot of headroom)?
Curious. Because nearly every other area is “specialized” for story scenes with built-in set pieces and effects.
