Feeling the winter blues already? Then prepare to be amazed, because the brand-new Disney Destiny Cruise Ship promises an escape packed with sun, fun, and unforgettable experiences for the whole family! Entertainment reporter Joelle Garguilo is LIVE onboard, giving us the inside scoop on this incredible vessel. She and her family embarked on their adventure just this past Sunday, and the excitement is already palpable.
Imagine stepping onto the main deck and being greeted by Mickey Mouse and his pals in a lively dance party – that's the 'sail-away celebration' setting the stage for the magic to come. But here's where it gets controversial... Is it too much Disney all at once? Some say that the initial onslaught of characters and activities can be overwhelming, while others argue it's precisely the kind of immersive experience Disney is famous for. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
What awaits you on the Disney Destiny? Prepare to be dazzled by Broadway-caliber shows! We're talking about spectacular productions like 'Frozen, A Musical Spectacular' and 'Disney Seas the Adventure,' a vibrant musical journey through beloved Disney and Pixar stories. And exclusively on the Destiny, get ready for 'Disney Hercules,' a show that promises a heroic Monday night!
But the entertainment doesn't stop there. You'll also find first-run movies in cozy, boutique cinemas, a plethora of engaging activities, shopping opportunities galore, relaxing salons, and a kids' club designed to keep your little ones entertained from sunrise to sunset (and beyond!). Joelle Garguilo describes it as 'honestly incredible!'
And this is the part most people miss... While the Disney Destiny is undeniably family-focused, it also caters to adults with exclusive spaces like De Vil's Piano Lounge. So, parents, you can find a little piece of paradise just for yourselves!
The food? Oh, the food! Prepare for a culinary adventure. Joelle and her family are already 'eating their way through the ship,' experiencing everything from casual bites to elegant fine dining. And of course, everything is delightfully themed around Heroes and Villains. Think delectable treats at every turn – perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
And we haven't even touched on the pools! Or Aqua Mouse, a thrilling water coaster that twists, turns, and zooms through approximately 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper deck. It's a water park at sea!
Monday brings another highlight: a visit to Disney Castaway Cay, Disney's private island paradise. Imagine pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and even more Disney-themed fun. It's the perfect way to round out your cruise experience.
