Yes, the wonder will now have more concierge rooms than any other ship in the fleet after this dry dock. Never going to get a cabana unless you are concierge on this ship!I've heard it's going to be On Demand for the room tv's and it's to turn some more rooms on deck 8 into concierge rooms. And that the drydock will take place in Victoria BC (not Vancouver). This was from someone in the concierge lounge in March (not one of the hosts).
It's only 2 weeks and it's not a major-major refurb so the cruises right after will be fine.
My husband and I did the cruise right after a dry dock once and they were still painting and varnishing different places. The smells were very strong.

If it stays out west, you would be correct.But, if this ship remains on the West Coast, it won't be stopping at Castaway Cay very often.

The Magic had pmubing that was backing up or not working. Lots of painting and varshing still had to be completed on balconies, that had people staying in them. Outlet covers and lamps were missing, etc. This was also one of Disney's first major dry docks. They had counted on much of the work being done on the crossing from Cadiz, but bad weather nixed that. They even cancelled like the first 2 cruises as the Magic sat at Canaveral.What are the horror stories for cruising right after a dry dock?
Never going to happen, as long as DCL can make bank on selling the internet packages they don't have any incentive to upgrade or offer unlimited services. On the flip side, satellite internet which is what they use for at sea internet service is pricey and if it gets clogged with hundreds of users online at the same time it would be just as slow as it is now if they offered unlimited service. So it's a toss up.It sure would be nice if they would upgrade their internet service to the same that RCCL uses.
Agree with you on as long as people pay why would DCL make it better. But as for your congestion comment don’t know how RCCL does it but no problems with their satellite internet service that has unlimited packages. I’ve also used satellite based internet on some recent plane flights and was able to stream videos without any problems. So someone has figured out how to do it.Never going to happen, as long as DCL can make bank on selling the internet packages they don't have any incentive to upgrade or offer unlimited services.

seesThe Disney Wonder arrived at dry dock this morning. My husband nearly fell off his bike on his commute when he turned the corner and saw it. Twelve days of distraction, here we come... They might as well put me to work on the ship, because I will otherwise be standing in the rain admiring it every day like a crazy fool.

RCCL launched their own dedicated high-speed satellite for internet. Most other cruise lines, including Disney, use shared older satellites with limited bandwidth.don’t know how RCCL does it but no problems with their satellite internet service that has unlimited packages.
