![]() We were sitting in one of those wall booths in Azure so I couldn't look around at the whole room, but there were probably 10-12 teams participating. I mean, we get competitive at home when it's the same opponents every time and there are cash prizes, but this was vacation. We had zilch interest in Mickey medallions so we were there just for fun. There was a team who had a perfect score and another who only missed 1. Even when you haven't seen the movie, which I hadn't in at least 4 cases, you can piece things together. We got all of the movie title answers correct and I think 13 of the trivia questions, but only like 10 of the song title questions. The first point was for the name of the song, the second was for the name of the movie, and then there was a trivia question related to the movie. She would play a very brief snippet of a tune from a movie. There were 15 questions but each had three parts, and each was good for a point, so you didn't have to get the whole thing. DH is 13 years younger (yes) but tended to only watch the movies once, not repeatedly. So on the one hand I have some older knowledge, but there are big gaps from the 90s and 00s. Little Mermaid came out when I was in college. I'm a 70s kid, so I grew up with the Disney Dark Age. She hosted something else later and that was her thing then too. I can't remember the trivia host's name, but she was The Irish Girl. I've never lived in a state with an NFL team, let alone a city, and poor DH was raised a Raider's fan, so we didn't care. Anyway, this one was in Azure because the Crown & Fin Pub was showing the Super Bowl. You were allowed to have team members come and go over the 24 hours but I stayed for the entire thing. We even participated in a 24-hour tournament this year. We dropped DS off at the club right before 7:30 and went to Disney Tunes Trivia. ![]() We also never have the energy to go do things after dinner so it's better to maximize the time before. 8:15 feels like 7:15 for us, and we don't tend to eat until almost 7:00 at home. It worked really well! We don't have dressers at home so this was my first time trying it. So we didn't overflow into the desk drawers this time either. Unpacking was much faster this time because we didn't bring costumes for Pirate Night and we didn't bring costumes for Marvel Day at Sea. But every time we pick him up, both last cruise and this one, he's playing with other kids instead. Also, he's very into his screens at home and they're widely available in the DCL clubs. The activities are not really optional on Norwegian, for example, and he was always coming back with some sort of completed craft project. The Disney kids clubs are much less structured than on other lines. We have dinner together every night and usually spend the entire weekend together, so this is a time for everyone to go off and do their own thing rather than a time to reconnect. ![]() An only child but very social, so he likes the time with other kids. It's really unpredictable on your first cruise with kids whether they'll want to spend time in the kids club, but he's never wanted to leave. We looked around the club for a bit to see what was different from the Magic. ![]() We did see families making paper Mickey hands in the kids club for the sail away party when we checked DS in. (I'm weak on telling whether it was 30s, 40s, or 50s style.) She was bounding as Snow White on boarding day. And perfect Hollywood Golden Age hair and makeup. The really fancy Cherry Tree Lane type dresses with crinolines. I did see one woman on board repeatedly with the best Disney outfits. ![]() We got notified just like a week before, so there was a flurry on the FB group of people deciding whether to try to Disney bound at the last minute. Our cruise was the very first one with the new Sail-A-Wave Family Deck Party. ![]()
