3 Day Destiny cruise, anyone have insight yet?

Looks like around Labor day they have a Destiny cruise. I haven't done DCL since I was a little kid, but this cruise seems quite phenomenal. Due to how my time off works, I don't think I can squeeze in a 4 day, but I was thinking about going as a trial run to see if I'd like to do a week long voyage on the treasure.

I've never done a 3-night. But I did a 4 night a few weeks ago, and doing a 5 night in Sept (I loved the Destiny the first time and looking forward to going back)

I have done a 3 night on the Wish over Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 and a 3 night Wish cruise last August as part of longer WDW vacation. Three nights goes by very quickly especially if you not familiar with the ship layout. The time you figure out where stuff is, you are getting off. I have also done 2 7 nights cruises on Treasure. Way more time to experience the ship on a 7 night plus more entertainment offerings. Found both Treasure cruises to be awesome. I enjoyed my August Wish cruise very much because of my table mates. I was solo and was paired with another solo lady, a pair of sisters and a pair of friends. We went had an awesome time, went to the shows and fireworks after dinner. Made it a great trip.

We’ve done 3 x 3 nights. 2 x Wish and 1 x Dream. It’s a great bit of fun but is super fast paced. It’s a great way to do a short cruise but plan on it being busy with little downtime if you want to see as much as you can. One of our Wish ones was this last Labor Day weekend. It was a blast for sure.

Sounds like a fun weekend. You'd save a few hundred dollars if you can do the weekend before Labor Day.

3 nights are absolutely great for an extended weekend. Only need to burn 2 PTO days if you are in Florida, maybe 3 if not.

3 day cruises are long-weekend type fun. I prefer longer, but if that is all we have time for, we go.

I think a 3-night is a great way to do a 'trial run' and see if you'd like to do a longer sailing. I think 3-nights is too short personally, but I've also been on several 7-night cruises (and a few longer ones) so my perspective is different.

Just a note: even though they're the same class, I wouldn't fully use the Wish as a barometer of whether you'll like the Treasure. I've been on a 3-night and a 4-night on the Wish, and it's fine to me (truly fine, I don't love it and I don't hate it). I did a 7-night on the Treasure early last year, and it's my second favorite ship now (behind the Fantasy). Even though the two ships have the same layout, I like the Treasure a lot better than the Wish. I don't know if it's the theming, the shows, the fact that I had more time on the Treasure to explore and see things, or something else. I've heard others say the same thing, so just keep that in mind.

Overall, though, a 3-night is a great way to see if you'd enjoy a longer DCL sailing (especially if you can't take a ton of time away at the present).

I second this. Wish is my least favorite ship...but I absolutely loved the Treasure and Destiny (doing a second cruise on the Destiny in September, in fact)

I'm on the Destiny in just about two weeks, and I'm so excited! Based on what I've seen so far I think it might be up there as a favorite for me!

Have a great cruise!
