It’s been an exciting week of announcements for the Disney Destiny cruise ship, the seventh ship to join Disney Cruise Line’s fleet starting in November 2025. We learned about the lounges and restaurants and even got our first look at the ship’s staterooms. When the Marvel theme of the Grand Hall was revealed on Thursday, the reactions were quite mixed and we thought we’d share some of the comments from the Disney Cruise Line forum on DISboards.com.
The first 2 days of announcements had me so excited, but day 3 was a huge disappointment. I like Marvel and with a theme like heros and villans I knew they would tap into that IP, but I would have prefered a Disney animated hero for the stern and maybe a villan for the grand hall. I also think the Black Panther inspired Grand hall looks too minimalist and modern. – JOY K
Folks seemed to be caught off guard with the extent of the Marvel theme as it was not what anyone was expecting to see. Even Marvel fans were feeling like it was a bit much.
The Marvel stuff (while I enjoy it) does not do it for me. All the Disney animated iconic heroes and villains they could have gone with for the Atrium… I was really thinking Hercules & Hades for the grand hall with olympus vibes but nope. Its a LOT of Marvel IMO especially considering the some what lack luster response to the more recent films (minus Deadpool of course). – dreamer17555
Fans are also intrigued by how different the new ship will be from some of DCL’s more classic cruise ships.
It’s enough to get me to consider 5 nights out of Port Everglades, when Port Canaveral is the more convenient port for me. – sponica
Spider-Man is DH’s favorite super hero so he’ll be thrilled. I wasn’t sure how to feel about the Wakanda atrium but I think I’m liking the African inspired motifs. Otherwise, it’s fine. However, I do know all my nephews would choose this ship over the others in a heartbeat. – Duckbug.Ducktales
There are still others who are not excited at all.
Ugh I don’t like this at all. The staircase and background look yuck to me. I was hoping for Hades as a the main character instead. And don’t like Spider-Man on the back. Also was hoping for a Hercules show instead of frozen. I was all ready to sail and now not so sure. – FSU Girl
