New Disney Ships: News, Rumors, Speculation.....and Names!

[juxtapose]

I was hoping when I heard Villains we'd get the "queen" Villains especially Maleficent. Sounds like it will at least have Cruella de Vil. Hoping they made a Villians bar or a dark/villains room theme.

Lion King is not at all what I think of when I hear Heroes and Villians.

As a price conscious cruiser, I'm excited to see 3 new ships launching within a ~12-month period, with the Treasure, Destiny, and Adventure all setting sail.

I just priced out a 1-bedroom Concierge room on the Treasure, and it was $35k for a February 2025 sail date. $5k/night. I'd be shocked if DCL will be able to keep that pricing level once they nearly double their passenger capacity with the launch of these 3 ships.

You could also save a lot not booking concierge!

Any guesses to what the Disney destiny will take over or start sailing from

I suspect it’ll do a hodgepodge number of itineraries to the Bahamas and Carribean from Fort Laudale.

Maybe not, but Scar is an awesome villian.

The booking window for early 2025 Treasure sailings have been open for a while. I booked 7 night Western Caribbean Deluxe Family oceanview for late Feb 2025 for $4.4K with my placeholder.

I can see the new ship sailing out of Port Everglades. Hercules would work for MDR like Frozen and Coco are for Wish and Treasure

Get the story of Hercules sung by the Muses with Herc and Meg greeting guests.

Drop In from Hades. Zero to Hero, Go The Distance. I think Meg has a song but it’s been years since I watched the movie.

Mediterranean cuisine for the food.

The choice for us is 2 veranda rooms or a 1-bedroom Concierge because we can't fit 5 in a single cabin. And the 1-bedroom Concierge is directionally the same price as 2 veranda rooms (though Concierge prices on the Treasure are a bit high at the moment), so we would just go Concierge with future bookings.

Any speculation based on the renderings thus far? Do we see any changes to the profile of the ship?

I want to be cautiously optimistic about them taking some time to maybe reconsider their space utilization from any comments on the Wish, but it’s not that high.

Still gotta have space for the 5 of us! And the 1-bedroom can be a great value when you consider that it's really 2 cabins. It's just not a value on the Treasure for the inaugural sailings.

Anyone saying what the homeport will be?

 

[Lorana]

Please give me a villians bar, please oh please oh please!

I was just coming here to say the same thing! Villains bar! Villains restaurant! Villains-themed show!
And while I know the Pirate Party is iconic, you will make me SO HAPPY if there is a Villains Party!

Unless you are looking at two concierge verandas, a 1-bedrom concierge is significantly more money - probably double - than booking two connecting oceanview veranda cabins.

More interested about what itineraries they are going to operate with the Destiny. We know the Dream is now going to stay in Fort Lauderdale and run to Castaway and Lookout. The Magic is going to rotate around the Caribbean. The Fantasy is likely going to be summering in Europe and wintering out of Florida. The Wonder seems to be locked in on the Pacific, and the Adventure is going to serve the Orient.

My instinct is that Lookout Cay /Lighthouse Point is rather underutilized with their current schedule. I could see the Destiny taking over the Wish's 4/3 schedule for volume to meet the desires of people wanting to sail the new ship, and the Wish then doing Dream-like trips, with lots of 5 nighters to Castaway and Lookout out of Port Canaveral, because Disney now needs to run three ships out of PC most of the time. Then the Fantasy will join the Dream in Port Everglades, as the Disney/Port Everglades agreement calls for 750k passengers each year, again probably running 4 or 5 night cruises in the fall, winter and early spring. The Magic will then bounce around to Galveston, New Orleans, Puerto Rico and some other origin ports throughout the year...

I just looked at two verandas on the Dream for a Marvel Day at Sea sailing compared to a 1-bedroom, and the 1-bedroom concierge is only 6.8% more expensive for us. But on the Treasure, it's 33% more expensive.

And yes, our choices are only connecting veranda rooms or 1-bedroom concierge. Everything else is either too small or too expensive for us.

Villains was a good choice, as I've heard so many folk pining for more of them in the parks and such! I'm less enthusiastic about "heroes" as I have marvel fatigue already... but I'm probably in the minority there. On the surface its a pretty basic concept, but I'm looking forward to seeing what all they do with it!

Villains party would be so much fun!

Even if they just made it a HOTHS thing replacing Pirate Night for those sailings only.
