It's interesting -- both of the current Disney ships (Magic, Wonder) had Cigar Lounges that they turned into coffee bars -- which they thought would bring in more revenue. Don't know if that is the case.

Disney's newest ship (Dream, sails in January) has a much bigger cigar lounge over looking ocean aft. My wife and I are booked on the maiden voyage and I am really looking forward to visiting this lounge

"Maiden voyage" - I hope you keep a sense of humor on that trip. To expect that all mechanically and the staff will be 100% smooth might be a dream. They can test and simulate all they want, but untail a 100 people hit the crappers at one time, they have only a best guess at how some of the mechanics will perform. While they were US Navy ships, I have brought many a ship out of the yards and even the stuff we thought we had perfect still would goof up.


BTW, not headed up North towards the iceberg area are ya?

Hell, We're already planning the 2011 cruise....Need to talk to the wife to see the dates!

We know the drill, this will be our third maiden voyage with Disney

Also, (lucky for us) -- they get a lot of the kinks worked out when they bring the ship across the pond to Port Canveral

The itinerary for the maiden voyage is the Bahama's! I can't wait! Well, actually I can, since I am leaving on the Disney Magic on Saturday for a trans-atlantic from Port Canveral to the Bahamas, Gibralter, Madeira, Cadiz, and Barcelona
