They felt it was much better than a traditional character meal, even for jaded adults. Compared to, say, a Cinderella’s Royal Table (Magic Kingdom) or Restaurant Akershus (EPCOT), the quality of the character entertainment and interactions is in a class by itself. The characters sing and lead interactive activities, but also take breaks from the show to stop by and visit your table. Even Olaf wheels in on a serving cart to delight diners (somewhat reminiscent of the table visits Remy made at EPCOT’s Chefs de France many years ago).
Maiden voyage
The Disney Wish is the first of three new ships that will join Disney’s fleet by 2025. There’s a "Beauty and the Beast"-themed lounge called "The Rose" and “Palo Steakhouse,” with decor inspired by Cogsworth, the lovable clock from the film. The Superhero Academy will allow young passengers to train with some of their favorite characters, such as Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant Man and The Wasp, and they can also choose and make their own superhero costumes.
Design
Three family restaurants, two fine dining spots, myriad casual dining spaces, and numerous bars and lounges are found throughout the Disney Wish. While the kids are at the variety of clubs designed for them, adults can take advantage of spaces for the 18-and-older crowd. In fact, that's one reason why I love Disney cruises so much — the kids want to do the kids activities, which means adults get to enjoy amenities designed for us, too. The first four Disney cruise ships revolutionized dinner at sea by introducing a trio of themed restaurants where you — and the serving crew and other guests — rotate together throughout the nights of your cruise. The Disney Wish is the first Disney Cruise Line’s Triton-class ship and the largest one in the fleet.
Adult-Only Entertainment at the Disney Wish
In late-April 2021, DCL released the first video of the "Designing the Disney Wish" series themed on the ship's design, Disney characters and special features. The hull design features Captain Minnie Mouse (bow character) and the sculpture of Rapunzel (aft/at the stern). The liner's interior is designed using three classic Disney themes - fairytale castles (including for the Atrium's Grand Hall), forests and animals, and the spirit of the sea. The 3-deck high Atrium (midship-located, open-floor area) features a grand staircase, the bronze sculpture of Cinderella (at the Lobby level), and a large chandelier with thousands of crystals and a huge "wishing star" at its bottom. Luna Square is a midship-located space with family-style entertainment during the day, and in the evenings transforming into an adults-only venue.
A large percentage come from the Florida area (the ship's homeport is Port Canaveral, near Orlando), but Disney Wish is popular with those who have to fly -- often from other countries -- for a slice of Disney's magic at sea. Disney Wish staterooms are the industry’s most luxurious cruise accommodations that provide superior comfort for families. Every family member will find comfort and peace from spacious inside rooms to world-class concierge rooms. A wide selection of unique concierge room configurations allows travelers to enjoy the high seas in high style. Pursuitist presents our review of the all new Disney Wish, one of the best cruise ships from Disney Cruises, curated by renown luxury travel expert Christopher Parr. The newly christened Disney Wish seamlessly brings Disney magic to life in new and unexpected ways, while creating the next generation in family luxury travel and entertainment.
While this holds true on all the Disney ships, my 6-year-old never wanted to leave the kids club on Disney Wish. A meal at Palo will start at around $45 per person, though that's for the set menu. Meals at Enchanté cost $125 per person for the set menu or you can order a la carte dishes. At The Rose, drinks are by the glass, so you can pop in whenever you're free — and you should, as it's an incredibly elegant spot ideal for unwinding without kids. The Arendelle menu is Nordic-influenced, though there are options from a little closer to home, too, should you prefer less-adventurous items. The food here was some of our favorite on the ship, and the show was also pretty top-notch.
There are 53 Concierge Class staterooms that include additional perks and access to the wonderful forward-facing Concierge Lounge enclave on Deck 12. A total of 23 Concierge Suites represent the most lavish seagoing luxury aboard Disney Wish, including the massive two-level Concierge Tower Suite inset within the ship's forward (dummy) funnel. Blending innovative design and cutting-edge technology, the Disney Wish Cruise is the place for adults with an affinity for luxury and families who love Disney’s classic storytelling. From upscale restaurants and elegant lounges to expansive pool areas and kids’ zones, everyone could find their preferred type of magic to enjoy at the luxurious Disney Wish adventure. Tell us about the ship in general.Disney Wish, which is slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, was built in 2022 in Germany and arrived in Florida in June. The ship’s 1,254 staterooms—most of which have ocean views (70 percent of those have verandahs)—can accommodate up to 4,000 passengers.

For the kids: The Oceaneer Club
I'll happily admit to being a sucker for a suite at sea and Disney concierge service amenities, but all of the cabins on Wish are a big step up for Disney Cruise Line. While other cruise lines might have dozens of ships with a new one showing up every couple of years, Disney takes its time and works to get it right. A demand-based heating and cooling system onboard adapts in real time to deliver the ideal amount of temperature-controlled air throughout the ship while saving nearly 700 tons of fuel annually. Disney Cruise Line says The Disney Wish is estimated to be nearly 30 percent more fuel efficient and emit approximately 20 percent less greenhouse gases. Our reviewers were astounded by the experience provided by the facilities at Senses Spa and Salon onboard the Disney Wish.
The swimmer prepared a rescue basket and litter to safely hoist the patient and the cruise ship doctor aboard the helicopter, the release says. It’s A Small World Nursery provides baby-sitting services for kids ages 6 months to 3 years old, complete with play room with favorite Disney characters and even a toy train. Tweens ages 11 to 14 can hang out Edge, a space inspired by a New York City loft. Vibe is where teens 14 to 17 can watch movies, play games and make the Parisian artist’s loft-inspired space their own. One space that’s new to Disney Cruise Line is Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena that combines athleticism and imagination that hosts game-show-style family competitions. It’s also open for one-on-one games of foosball, air hockey, and even basketball on a full-size court.
There's even a celebration line toward the end similar to what happens in Tiana's Place aboard Disney Wonder. Disney Wish retains the rotational dining format but with a lineup of all-new dining experiences. The adults-only pool is especially worth mentioning, as it is an infinity pool that looks off the back of the ship. That said, all of the pools are much better than others I've seen on Disney Cruise Line. The waterslide had a few issues on our preview cruise, so not all the effects were working, but my understanding is that the two storylines (Port Misadventures and Swiss Meltdown) will be available on a schedule of alternating days. To keep things as comfortable and immersive as possible, the direction you fly on the screens is indeed the same direction the cruise ship is heading, giving the experience an even more realistic feel.
With ten years of waiting — not to mention all the years of extra anticipation once the ship was announced — expectations are bound to be sky high, and wishing begins to fill in the holes left by an absence of details. But despite that, even those who are jaded to the point that they’re bored by the same old ports and the same old cruising are sure to find something here that will wow you. We’d have loved to have seen some newer itineraries offered for this new ship, perhaps blending a mix of Bahamian and Caribbean nation ports together for a cruise that you can’t get on any other Disney Cruise ship at present. But on the other hand, the itineraries are honestly somewhat of a snooze compared to the exotic itineraries you can have on other Disney ships. We know many frequent cruisers who don’t even get off the ship when it docks in Nassau.
Or catch first-run films inside Wonderland Cinema and Never Land Cinema, 2 lush screening rooms inspired by Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland offering the latest visual and audio technology. Disney Unchartered Adventure - A first-of-its-kind interactive experience that takes classic Disney storytelling to new heights! Join some of your favourite Disney Characters on a multidimensional search to find fragments of a shattered Wishing Star, navigating across Disney storybook worlds throughout your cruise.
With innovative theatrical design, dazzling special effects, and artistic choreography, the all-new script and score goes beyond the film to find new ways to delight. Home to the Star Wars Galactic Creature Keepers adventure, kids here will become intergalactic creature handlers, feeding lifelike, interactive creatures and encountering some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. Don’t worry, though — with the help of Rey and Chewbacca (and the Force), everything will turn out just fine. We offer a full list of every pool on board further down the page in our “deck-by-deck” section. The different storylines that are offered via the video clips help to add a bit of re-ride-ability to this relatively short attraction.
These approximately ton (the measurement of the two differ slightly) ships are 964 ft (294 m) long and 106 ft (32 m) wide. The ships each contain 875 staterooms[3] and are not identical in their design, with a lot of variations in interior design, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Both contain areas designed exclusively for various age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults. Current itineraries go to Alaska,[4] the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Australia and Europe, depending on the ship. The newer Disney Cruise ships were built in Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany.
For tweens and teens, there are Edge and Vibe, where the and crowds can chill with video games, coffee and mocktail bars and a less organized "come and go as you please" setup. Vibe is equipped with a side room that can be separated for use by 18- to 20-year olds who are too old for the kids club but too young to hang out at adult bars. Unique artwork inspired by "Cinderella" and other Disney classics adorn the staterooms, and 900 of 1,254 staterooms will be connected adjoining, making this ship the most family-friendly of the Disney fleet.
The Disney ship Wish was originally scheduled for launch in 2021-Q4 (inauguration by Christmas 2021) and to start passenger shipping operations in January 2022. However, due to COVID-related issues (shipbuilding yard closures, supply chain disruptions), the liner's introduction was postponed for 2022-Q2 (July). For more adult respite, seek out the Quiet Cove, which offers pool, hot tub, lounge and bar areas just for grownups. Perhaps the most anticipated watering hole on the vessel is the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge. The premise is that you're on a luxury ride between galaxies; every few minutes, the screen behind the bar jumps to a different location at hyperspeed. But this is Disney, after all, so you should fully expect that many libations will come with a bit of fanfare -- and a price tag to match.
