The 150 windowless inside staterooms on the new 4,000 passenger cruise ship, Disney Dream, will have something unusual – virtual portholes. High def cameras pointing port, starboard, fore and aft will transmit the appropriate view to the cabin “port holes” which is actually a 42 inch video monitor.  Sounds like a great idea.   What I am not sure about is the addition of “Disney magic” which will added composited images of various Disney characters flying by the port hole from time to time. Personally a view of the ocean is just fine without Goofy, Peter Pan or Dumbo floating by.  But that is just me.  The Disney Dream goes into service in January 2011.
