Pyrotechnics on a ship at sea. What could go wrong with that? 🫣

Haven't been on Disney since 2012 but at the time at least they did fireworks at sea for their cruises even when it wasn't the 4th of July (I'm not sure if they still do them or not though).

We cruised over the 4th in 2017. No fireworks but they did have some holiday decorations, themed activities and a holiday deck party.

My cruise went to key west on the 4th and the captain stayed offshore till dark to watch the fireworks.

back in the day when Norwegian first introduce the breakaway class, they had 2 ships that used to do fireworks at sea. they no longer do that now due to other reason (like "cost savings")

 

Disney is the only cruise line that still does fireworks on every sailing
