The fact that May 4th is available for a Star Wars hotel says loads about what real fans think about the whole thing. $4 to 6 k for a half a–ed “star wars” experience.
This is just another sad attempt to create interest in the starcruiser. This disaster will finally force the Disney shareholders to get rid of Chapek. Chapek has wasted tons of money on this fiasco at a time when Disney stockholders can least afford it. You can put lipstick on this pig but it will still be nothing but a pig.
Unfortunately I don’t think Chapel is going anywhere. Disney didnt get rid of Kathleen Kennedy when Star Wars was driven into the ground with episode 8 that caused fans to boycott Solo causing that multimillion dollar crash and burn.
They are only booked for March. I don’t see that as a victory or a pat on the back. April, May, July, and August are wide open. June is almost booked to be fair. The other resorts are going to have to carry this albatross until it generates a fan base. It looks like it was designed by Star Trek fans, maybe they can use that in their next marketing campaign.
I have a feeling Disney removed the remaining availability for March to try and improve public perception. They probably did it under the guise of reducing capacity as a COVID precaution. That excuse has worked for them in reducing services (such as shows like Fantasmic) or dining, so why wouldn’t it work again?
This reads more like an ad for the Star Cruiser than an actual news article. The fact that directly below the article is a promotion pushing Academy Travel, that ITM probably gets a commission for directing people to, is telling of the real point of the story.
My definition of “fully interactive bridge” would be something very different than what the promo video showed.

I just can’t get excited about a fake cruise that costs as much as a real cruise.

Cutre as Disney sequels. They don’t understand Star Wars.

Projects like this live and die by “repeat customers”.
Ain’t no one doing this cruise twice.
