Who the heck would pay that? 🤣 I paid $4700 for 2 ppl for the 4 night cruise just to hobart and back from syd with disney at christmas time. I also have another cruise booked on carnival for $6000 for 5 ppl for 12 nights and 5 island stops & including the drinks package for the 2 adults...so that is much better value. Disney is Hugely overpriced but Disney is Disney. I'm not going to remember the money i'm sure but i'll remember that one time I took my daughter on the christmas day Disney cruise. 😍 I also feel like if Disney dont come back to aus i'll regret that I didnt pay ridiculous prices and take the Disney cruise 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Princess will have the Halloween 🎃 thing, for sure. Standby for incoming. Do we grab our tote bag and go knocking on cabin doors? Might be slim pickings now, with no pillow chocolates to collect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drank all mine, traded them in for that awful Aussie Whisky, Starward, something like that. Had to mix them with coke or dry ginger ale.

Genting being Asian apparently where a combination of gambling a family. Get the the kids busy and away from mum and dad . Then get mum and dad into the casino then get their money. There was a strong Rumour that Disney wanted to get into the mega ships but the rumour was also they wanted Royal Caribbean. They could probably merge quite easily.

bcwife76 Posted October 13, 2022 #143 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm assuming they would take the casino out if they actually did buy this ship. Disney doesn't do casinos on their ships. And it would need a lot of modifications to look like the other Disney ships. Interesting prospect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted October 13, 2022 #144 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Do you think they'd use it as a cruise ship or have it berthed somewhere permanent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The line said it plans to base the ship outside of the US Global Dream’s original target was to sail to Asia, Oceania including Australia and the US West Coast." Is this the line that you're referring to? If so it is not clearly written, they seem to be missing a coma after US. I read it as the original plan of the previous owners Genting Hong Kong was to sail to the Asia, Oceania including Australia but all Disney have so far said is that they will base it outside the US. This may or may not include Australia. But here's hoping for those Australian Disney fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
