joetop2467 Posted January 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Do you know why not and since when? We had them on our Breakaway cruise in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted January 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sometime over the summer they stop have fireworks. They cited safety issues. The last time I saw them in June on the Getaway there was NO safety zone at all if something went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdchiefthom Posted January 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2016 FDR decided not to have fireworks on the Escape, and decided to end them on the GA and BA. Simple economics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txagfan Posted January 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Don't be too disappointed. Yeah it's fun and novelty factor is high, but would not that big of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Sorry but they are no longer doing the fireworks on any ships. While they hyped it a lot, the cost and safety of the show kept is very small. The last time we saw it was on the GA in April 2015.

EyeSeaEwe Posted January 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sometime over the summer they stop have fireworks. They cited safety issues. The last time I saw them in June on the Getaway there was NO safety zone at all if something went wrong. FDR decided not to have fireworks on the Escape, and decided to end them on the GA and BA. Simple economics. Two sides of the same coin. The added expense of having pyrotechnics on a cruise ship from a safety and insurance standpoint made it not feasible. In actuality the show was not all that much at all. It was nice to see (one time) but nothing I'd go out of my way to see again and hardly anything that would detract from my cruise experience now that it is gone.
