Hi, We are just back (3 weeks ago but seems like years) and did the new Star Tours A LOT. The verdict was a big hit. There are apparently 54 different versions of the ride and you stand a chance of being the "spy" aboard the ship and as such being the target for "Vader" and his forces. The resulting 3D getaway through varying "scapes" and situations is great fun. DS said his experience was lessened when sat in the front row at the side although I didn't see much difference. I personally felt more queasy when sat at the back row in the corner though although I am very prone to motion sensitivity it has to be said. We found that if you visit the ride early in the morning you can ride twice without much of a queue (often walk on) but it gets much busier as the day goes on.

I'm sure you'll love it.

Thank you so much.
Can you somehow influence or even choose which ride you will get or do you only know once you are seated and the ride has started?

"fraid there's no choice - even if there was, you wouldn't be able to guarantee which ride you might experience. Rides seem completely random. Even after you have begun the ride you can't tell where you will finish - which of course makes every time different (in theory). Enjoy!

i hope the hurricane isn't affecting your cruise and that you make it into CC!!

2 things it affected, they cancelled our Parasailing at Castaway Cay, not sure why as it was a perfect day, I believe it was something to do with the company who provides the service and getting to the island. Other thing was we docked back in PC last night around midnight instead of early this morning, I think they wanted to get back into port ASAP.
Just checked in and unpacked at Holiday Inn DTD, glad room was available at 10am when we arrived.
Had a great cruise, some things on the new ship are far better than the old ships but then other things were nowhere near as good, can't believe there is nowhere for a family to sit and have a drink on an evening without flashing lights or Karaoke bashing your eardrums. We love to sit in the Promonade lounge (Magic\Wonder) or Schooner bar (Royal Caribbean) and have a few quiet drinks. On the Dream it was as if Disney wanted to split families, plenty of choice for adult(18+) plenty for kids, we found after the evening show our only option was a walk around & a game of minigolf, oh well saved on the drinks bill(about $50, mostly with meals)
Will post more later.

Saw the boat this morning at 1.00 a.m. your time so realised it was there because of the weather. Cant wait to hear more about your experience on the boat.

What time did you get off this morning?

Hi Wayne!
Looking forward to hearing your thought on the new ship.
Did Bon Voyage not replace Promenades? Or rather something along those lines?

Hi Wayne!

Thats what we were hoping but Bon Voyage was just a bar with a row of high bar stools, no seating. The 1st night we went straight to Bon Voyage after the show and a little look around and it closed at 10:30pm. We found very odd timings for many things, Tow Maters for burgers etc we only saw open once. Only option for a late night snack was Pizza or room service, for a ship with almost 4,000 guests I expected more open later.

 

[nemmie]

Thats a real shame! So no seating other than stools?? Doesn't really compare to the Promenade Lounge at all does it? At least tell me they had chips and salsa?

Yeah that does sound odd about timings and things that are open. Do you think they are still working out the kinks or ????

Overall did you like the Dream?

Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the difference's between the new and old ships.
