There are repeat cruisers that have been cruising with Disney for over 20 years and to abruptly discontinue presenting those guests as well as first time guests who choose to pay the ever increasing premium to cruise Disney with a Personal Navigator upon checkin without any mention is insulting if you ask me. Oh wait ok - the animation thing is something we would enjoy, but still that s only one thing, and from what I could make out only the one time slot.
It is a powerful symbol of unity and school spirit. The white color represents purity and integrity. Together, these colors create a striking combination that is synonymous with Penn State.
April 28, 2004 Disney Wonder Daily Navigator
A reader just sent me these photos of a daily Navigator for the Wonder from 2004! I posted them on my Facebook page, but I am making this post for them as well so that I can link to them on my Navigator page.
At that time, the Wonder was alternating 3 & 4 nights Bahamas itineraries from Port Canaveral. Some of the notable things that caught my eye:
-It doesn’t say which characters will be at the character appearances
-there was a cruise director named Jacqui
-early dining was 6:00 instead of 5:45
-Triton’s had a dress code of “jacket for men, dress or pantsuit for women”
-Parrot Cay (now Tiana’s Place) and Animator’s Palate had a dress code of “no shorts or jeans”
-Palo was only $10 per person (today it is $40), which makes me shocked that the onboard booking offer was the same as it is today: 10% off plus a $200 credit for 7+ night sailings – they need to adjust that $200 for inflation just like everything else! If the price of Palo has gone up 300%, shouldn’t the onboard credit go up at least a little bit?
-Apparently Wavebands allowed smoking after 9:00 PM
-There were not lifeguards at the pools (which actually weren’t added until late 2013)
I also just received a FULL SET of Navigators for a 7 night sailing on the Magic in March 2002. It will take me some time to get them all organized and ready but stay tuned, they’re coming soon!

Knowing that we’d soon be sailing, I did my best Elsa impersonation and let it go in order to experience whatever onboard Personal Navigator situation there was to experience myself. At least, how things were going on the Disney Fantasy. I cannot speak firsthand about the other ships, however I suspect there was shoreside directive to the fleet. If you followed along with our trip reports, some of what you are about to read will be a repeat, but hang in there, I promise there will be some more.
The university's mascot is the Nittany Lion. The Nittany Lion is a powerful and majestic figure that represents Penn State's athletic teams and embodies the university's strong and resilient spirit. The Nittany Lion has a storied history at Penn State and is a beloved symbol among students, alumni, and fans.

The Penn State colors and mascot play a significant role in creating a sense of community and pride among students and alumni.

Reviews for "Exploring Penn State's Color Palette: Blue and White"
1. John - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the colors and mascot of Penn State. The blue and white color scheme just looked so bland and generic to me. It didn't really stand out and didn't have any uniqueness. The mascot, a Nittany Lion, didn't do much for me either. It looked more like a fluffy teddy bear than a fierce and intimidating mascot. Overall, I found both the colors and mascot to be uninspiring and forgettable.
2. Emily - 3 stars - The colors and mascot of Penn State did not appeal to me. The blue and white color combination felt overused and lacked excitement. Additionally, the Nittany Lion mascot seemed corny and outdated. It didn't match the reputation and prestige that the university carries. I expected a more fierce and commanding presence from the mascot, but it fell short. Overall, the colors and mascot of Penn State just didn't capture my attention or make me feel connected to the university.
3. Robert - 2 stars - Penn State's choice of colors and mascot left me underwhelmed. The blue and white color scheme felt unimaginative and too safe. It didn't evoke any sense of pride or uniqueness for the university. The Nittany Lion mascot, although iconic, didn't strike me as intimidating or memorable. It looked more like a cuddly toy than a symbol of strength and power. I was hoping for something more dynamic and visually appealing. Unfortunately, Penn State's colors and mascot failed to leave a lasting impression on me.
4. Sarah - 1 star - I found Penn State's colors and mascot to be completely unremarkable. The blue and white color combination is nothing special and lacks creativity. It's a safe choice that doesn't make the university stand out from the crowd. As for the Nittany Lion mascot, it felt outdated and unexciting. It doesn't exude the kind of energy and enthusiasm that a mascot should. Overall, I was disappointed with Penn State's choice of colors and their lackluster mascot.
