Disney Wish Maiden Voyage - News & Live Checkins

[Kwami]

The new dress code makes me so sad. I love to get dressed up but rarely have the occasion in real life. The though of seeing jeans in Palo is a no from me.

Palo started to allow jeans many years ago.

So once I've boarded, I should go to guest services and try and get a Hyperspace reservation, I was hoping to do that on the Halloween party night as I have a Leia costume. I am also after my own table at dining so wondered if that would be better to do before or after Hyperspace as I was aiming for that specific day reservation? Then I assume muster location and then maybe shop before sail away or straight after sail away. (I have my heart set on the Wish Spirit Jersey and that Pirate Stitch Loungefly so the earlier I can get them the better.)

I haven't cruised before so the ship layout isn't an issue because I never to used to the others (I was meant to be on Dream last year but couldn't enter the country due to restrictions). I've got a deck plan printed out and I'm a coupe of cabins down from the elevators so that's handy.

This can be last on your list as the shops will not open until the ship is out at sea. Check the app, but that is usually 5:30 or 6.

I've never seen anyone in them at dinner, though.

Question for someone on the MV: when on the upper decks can you actually see into the Wish Tower suite? I’m wondering what it’s privacy is like.

I never saw an answer on this, but just saw Scott Sanders of DCLBlog post this pic from Currents bar…

Sorry for the Steve Sanders snafu!!!

It’s Scott.

But I now I have the original Beverly Hills 90210 theme song in my head.

No, this was being done at Luna along with Palo and Enchante.

Separate lines though right? As solo traveller trying to work out which to aim for first. I think Hyperspace is going to win out

Oh yes, thank you, completely forgot about that.

Ah, thank you, I'll head straight there.

 

[Trera]

We leave for our B2B in a week and while I always read other people's suggestions and reviews of activities and vacations that I am interested in..............I also know that the perspectives and opinions of a majority of other families do not always align with us. I always go in with an open mind and I am super excited to see the new ship. I am sure there will be some things that are different than what we got used to on our other DCL cruises but different is not always worse. If this ship doesnt suit us and what we are looking for from a Disney cruise, then we will switch back to the other ships.

With that being said, a week cannot get here soon enough.

How does someone else's clothing choices affect you if they are within the guidelines of the establishment?

I wear appropriate Jeans to Palo every single time I eat there.

We just got off the Wish this morning. Hyperspace Reservations were in Triton's Lounge and dining changes in Luna. Apparently Guest Services could access the Hyperspace Lounge reservations as well which we didn't know, also it opened up earlier than was posted. I would make sure to check the Navigator app while waiting to board. They were letting parties make 2-3 reservations as well, so there were some disappointed groups that couldn't get one. Just our experience.

Well, that’s awkward. I’m wondering how Disney will deal with folks walking around in their own room in a low state of dress (ie naked) with the shades open…

They let people make multiple reservations for the Hyperspace lounge before others could get one?

 

[AquaDame]

Yes. I was surprised when I was offered a second one for the maiden while making the first. Reservations did not sell out the first day, folks were still able to make them at least the next day if not the third.

I still think they should do a VQ method like trader Sam’s

That's a weird thing for them to do - surely you should only open up 2/3rd reservations once you get through the entire queue

Yes. I was surprised when I was offered a second one for the maiden while making the first. Reservations did not sell out the first day, folks were still able to make them at least the next day if not the third.

Well at least that's good to know.

I really don't. I'd much rather a reservation system as we never got in Trader Sams even on VQ and turning up at 4pm. I think doing a reservation system but limiting it to one per stateroom is a great option. Then if there is capacity they use a VQ for additional visits maybe

If it's like the past 29 cruises I've sailed you won't be able to shop before sailaway party since it's in port once they leave you can

I'm like you I go in with a open mind. I can't wait to February. Was supposed to go in August, but with having a autoimmune pushed it back till February
