Disney Cruise Line’s Wish/Treasure
Disney Cruise Line is a niche cruise line with many unique things that Disney does differently than other cruise lines. Check out my blog post about what DCL does differently.
This blog post will explore DCL’s newest cruise ships, the Disney Wish and the Disney Treasure. Next week, we will discuss what we know about the Disney Adventure. Check out my blog post on the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder and my blog post about the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy.
I have been on the Disney Wonder and the Disney Fantasy. One day, I want to sail on all of the Disney Cruise Line Ships.
Disney Cruise Line is well known for its black, dark blue, gold details, red funnels, and whimsical ship horns, which play the classic “When You Wish Upon a Star.” Newer ships have a wider range of Disney songs on the ship horns. DCL was the first cruise ship to have the iconic yellow of Mickey’s shoes for the lifeboats. Disney Cruise Line is known for its stern characters, which include a giant statue of a Disney character at the back of the ship by the ship’s name.
The Disney Cruise Line features a variety of activities, such as life-deck party shows, fireworks at sea, live Broadway-style shows, first-run films, lounges and deck areas for kids and tweens, pools, a fitness center, a spa, adults-only lounges, and so much more!
DCL's dining experience is unlike any other on a cruise ship. Each ship features three main dining restaurants themed after various Disney characters. Dining on a Disney cruise, you will be assigned a rotation so that you will dine at every restaurant at least once during your cruise. If you visit the same restaurant more than once during your cruise, oftentimes there is a different show and menu to give guests a different experience.
The Disney Wish is the fifth ship added to Disney Cruise Line Fleet. It set sail in July 2022 with 15 public decks, 1254 staterooms, and a crew of 1555, the Disney Magic up to 5555 passengers. With the Disney Wish, Disney Cruise Line added so much more Disney theming throughout the ship as compared to the first four ships in the fleet. The theming for the Disney Wish is enchantment inspired by Disney’s classic stories of wishes coming true.
Goofy, the ship's stern character, paints the ship.
