I was in a deep sleep when the entire Disney Treasure was woken up by a loud announcement at 4:30am. I remember hearing the words “Red Parties” and “Incinerator” and even though this might have sounded alarming to some onboard, I have heard something very similar on another cruise that we have sailed on before.
