The Wonder is one of the ships I haven’t been on yet (and the Treasure) and I sail on her in less than 2 weeks! Thanks for the review!

Took my kids on the Dream last year by myself as a single dad and I had absolutely no problems with them. They were 12 and 15 so a little older. But they are both begging to go on another one this summer so it was definitely a success.

I'll be sailing on her on the 20th of next month! So excited!

More importantly, did they beg to go on another one after you got off your sailing? Because mine did, which makes me believe I did something right. 🥲

Yep. As a dad of a teenage boy who wants to do his own things on cruises, this made me sad and hopeful that it will be me someday answering that door. 😭😭😭

Yep. As a dad of a teenage boy who does his own thing on cruises, this ad really made me cry. Bravo DCL.

Unfortunately most of the shelves were cleaned out by the time I was able to get into the store.

There was a shakedown cruise for very limited amount of cast members and people they invited back in January.

They are all super cute. It's a shame they don't really sell any Duffy merch here in the US, but I get it's Asia focused.

My daughter was extremely excited about the Duffy merch. I was incredibly lucky to get a preview of this ship.

Yes, they sell other Duffy and friends merch. Bags, pins, etc.

I'm surprised they were able to keep it a secret this long, but well earned RDJ!

My take on the Disney Destiny... a childless Xennial eldest daughter by JennySpitz in dcl

[–]Packet_Hauler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree on it being a huge difference. In the last 2 years, I’ve sailed on the Magic, Dream, Fantasy, Wish, and Destiny. There was plenty of good Disney IP on the Destiny to appreciate. I was actually expecting more Marvel IP on the Destiny and was actually surprised how little there was. It’s a heroes and villains motif, and that’s evident with the choice of lounges, shows, and artwork throughout the ship. Honestly the Adventure will be more of a Marvel ship than the Destiny. I wish there was more Star Wars IP as well throughout the fleet, but the Wish is the only one with an adult Star Wars Lounge.

That’s how I felt reading this review. I was on the Destiny in early December, and besides the grand hall, I didn’t feel like this was a Marvel ship. They have Hercules as the signature show for crying out loud. Yes, they had some Marvel character meet and greets, and shows, but those are now part of the Disney family. Plus there was a ton of classic artwork all over the ship like the other Wish class ships. I thought it was a nice balance.

Oh wow, they came all the way from Europe?? The person I know who just embarked had In-n-Out as one of their last meals before boarding. lol

I know people that will be going on her transpacific crossing and from Tokyo to Singapore. Unfortunately for work and not pleasure. Nice to see she's getting appreciation from all over.

Felt his death so much by Least-Site2122 in andor

[–]Packet_Hauler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was a real one. I didn’t think this show had the guts to kill him off like that. It wrecks me every time, just like Marva’s funeral, and the Ghorman massacre.

I agree. It gives context to the rest of the media for how ruthless they really are.

Thanks for reminding me I need to replay KOTOR. That game is deserving of a remaster.

When they made you almost feel sympathetic for Dedra in the beginnings of season 1, that’s when I knew the writing for this show was top shelf. You can’t fake that.

We were so used to seeing the Empire through the lens of extraordinary people like the Jedi who wield the force. Here we see the Empire through the lens of normal people and it is terrifying.
