Fascinating video, thanks for sharing here or I might have missed it! Can't help but notice the deck plans show World Fresh Marketplace, yet this video refers to it as "The Eatery". Seems a little vague, but then again how else do you name a buffet I guess! Crooners looks amazing! And I cant wait to see or hear more about Spellbound. This video only shows tight shots of a few drinks, I think they're keeping the ambiance and venue as close to chest as they can for the mystique. Curious if its running for the inaugural, and if guests can take photos/videos during their evening events.

Yes, you are exactly right! My mistake, didn't mean to say router. Access point is correct!

Those are either emergency lights to flood the ship in the event of a situation, or heat sensors monitoring for fire. I don't know the timing as to when those were added, but they are not wifi related, medallion related, or a camera. The boost in wifi coverage out to the balconies is due to the in-room wifi router. When each ship was updated with Medallion technology, the new tvs that went in place are hiding a small wifi router behind them. This is the major boost of connectivity we've noticed since 2018/2019. Prior to that, the routers were only in the hallways and would struggle getting a signal through the heavy metal/fire proof cabin door. In addition to the in-room routers, there are medallion sensors overhead in the bathroom, cabins, and balcony. But the one on the balcony is a lot smaller than this emergency light dome, and fully enclosed in opaque plastic (and all medallion wiring is purple too if you haven't noticed). Again, not sure if its for additional emergency lighting or for fire monitoring (since the Star Princess incident in 2006), but I can confirm its not a camera, medallion sensor, or wireless access point.

Wow! I'm loving your trip details and photos - looks like you're having a great trip! My wife and I are gearing up for our own Valiant Lady sailing at the end of January, so thank you for getting us excited and sharing your voyage with us!!

Yes, the Event Listing page will be loaded with shows and parties at the same time dining reservations open. Just last week I hit my 45 day mark and went through the process myself. While the app was taking forever to load the dining reservations, it was easy to jump over to the event list and see what time the shows were each night, along with the late night parties too. Im sure the rest of the onboard activities will appear as we get closer to sailing, or once we get onboard. Enjoy your cruise!

Following along! Going on Valiant Lady late January, thanks for sharing your experience - its getting us very excited for our trip!! Hope you have the best week!

Might be a great time for an Espresso Martini if you're looking to stay up late tonight!
