Are you booked on a Marvel Day at Sea cruise? What are you hoping to experience?
I’m getting more and more excited for my November 18 cruise! I hope it turns out as cool as it sounds. It’s being hyped an awful lot.
Sadly, my daughter & I only know of the basic characters i.e. Spider-Man, Captain America. Any recommendations for how to get started learning all these so we will know them when we see them on board? What movies do we need to watch? TIA!
Hi Jenniffer! I would watch the avengers movies 1 and 2 at minimum and the guardians of the galaxy next. If you have more time the iron man movies are great too. Then finish up with doctor strange.
Thank you! ?
I also suggest you watch the Captain America movies.
Who the heck is Groom? lol
Until just now, that was the auto correction for Groot.
Great news, a small autocorrect moment, I think you mean “Groot”. My 10 yr olds favourite character of all time.
This is what I get for not doing a straight copy/paste from the parks blog article.
We had to delay our New York cruise until Thanksgiving of 2018 and I am really hoping that they bring the Marvel Day at Sea to those sailings as well! Sounds like a ton of fun and after how well they did with the Star Wars Day at Sea I would love to see it!
That’s cool!
