I've been looking too--It's such a tease that they announce that it's 16 cruises, but not which ones!

Looking at a calendar with 16 cruises it looks like a majority of them will be SW. Early January to mid april is 16 weeks. Didn't realize it at first but now that I look there is a good chance ours is one, which is exciting!

For some reason the Disney Parks Blog didn't list them, but they are on this page (I know they are pasted above, but in case you want to reference the specific page) https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/onboard-activities/star-wars-at-sea/

Scroll all the way to the bottom where it says "Read More"

Does this replace the Pirate Night and fireworks?

 

[daisyx3]

I am also interested in whether it replaces pirate night or adds another night to it. I love Star Wars! I just wish my son could come but he'll be in college and not available the week DH and I are cruising.

Let' hope it isn't so luke warm received as this years seem to have been.

Pirate night still happens. BUT. No servers dressed up. No special menu. No fireworks. No buffet. SWDAS features the fireworks, buffet, and special menu (which is very good).

There is definitely a LOT of room for improvement (I was on Feb 20 sailing).

I think they will continue to do star wars cruises until about a year or two after the final release of the movie series. Either way, i need to get on one!

So in other words, long after we are all dead and buried...say 2153?

Am on a western carribean cruise in Feb. Do they cancel one of the ports for this ?

 

[daisyx3]

No they do it on a sea day.

We were supposed to sail on SWDAS this past February but had to reschedule to next Feb. due to work. We were bummed about missing SWDAS, but now we are kind of glad that we will (presumptively) benefit from tweaks and adjustments for v2.0.

The servers not dressing up really puzzles me. I know there is a cost involved with making costumes for all the servers for only 16 cruises, but it sounds like the lack of costumes for the servers really let a lot of people down.

The costumes don't have to be super-ornate, or limit vision or mobility. I don't think anyone reasonably expects servers in Wookiee suits or Stormtrooper armor. But a Jedi costume, or desert outfit (Luke/Rey) should be relatively simple to make, and lightweight and unrestricting to wear.

Even a Star Wars themed dress shirt would be something!

Heck, *I* own a couple of Star Wars camp/Aloha shirts.
