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

The atrium is a big yikes… and why Frozen again?

 

[sponica]

Totally agree with everything you said. I also worry about the Black Panther atrium ageing fast--the movies have been very popular but I'm not sure they're timeless classics like the animated canon.

I would argue the first Iron Man movie *is* approaching a timeless classic.

The description of the grand hall gives me more hope about how it might actually look. I personally would want a grand hall to look more like Shuri's lab or the throne room, than what they have rendered

I’m very happy for all the Marvel fans, and kudos to Disney for surprising all of us with the direction. Someone had mentioned how Marvel-ous the reveal patches were and this totally explains it!

Now if they could just keep their Marvel ship and not Marvelize future vessels. But that's just me being optimistic.

Not thrilled about Black Panther or Spider-Man at all

 

[Pens Fan]

The first two days of announcements had me really excited for this ship. I love a good villain!! Today - not as much. It's an awful lot of Marvel for my taste. I get that it's a very popular franchise and it's inevitable DCL is going to use it on their ships, but it's just too much - especially the atrium design. It probably wouldn't deter me from sailing on this ship, but I'd much rather they had gone with good, classic Disney villains in the atrium and on the stern. But that's just me .

Yeah, it's always good to reserve final judgement until seeing it in person. But clearly, the heavy Marvel theme is polarizing already. I personally would have preferred a classic animated character like Hercules for the atrium (I feel that's the ultimate Disney story about becoming a hero). However, I know variety is good--it's like DVC resorts, different strokes for different folks. The good thing is that there are increasingly more choices of DCL ships

I feel so much of the design in spaces is missing the layers and details that Disney is known for...except in the concierge suites. They look beautiful. Recently the end result has been a step down from concept art as well. Oh, I do think Haunted Mansion bar looks amazing.

For us, it is less choices. Not really excited about the layout of the newer ships in general, but we like longer cruises.

Cruella is Nightingales, Sanctum is The Bayou, Haunted is Hyperspace

And Saga = Luna, I'm assuming.

While certainly not my first choice, don't necessarily mind Black Panther as the Grand Hall statue. However, the overall look of and the colors don't seem very appealing. Treasure's Grand Hall seems so much better.

Other than the third show, is there anything else we're waiting on? Seems like all venues have been accounted for.

I do wonder where in development the Destiny was when Chadwick Boseman died. The third ship was agreed to in 2017, maybe they had mapped out by 2020 the Destiny would be heroes/villians?

If you want a decent show - look to Mickey and the Magician (DLP) or Mickey and the wondrous Book (HKDL with a similar version in Shanghai by a different name) - they would both make great cruise line variety shows with various IP and are both great quality - they may need the add of a song here and there for length for a cruise show.

Yes, Mickey and the Magician was such in unexpected surprise with WOW factor

So do we think there will be no more marvel day at sea sailings in 2026? Since the ship is so heavily marvel themed, and they probably will have no issue filling it at that point because it will be brand new.

It would be really confusing to offer a marvel day on a different ship when all the new Marvel stuff is on the newest ship and there are no sailings marked as MDAS in 2026

Not sure why that would be confusing?

 

[dreamer17555]

For people who know DCL it’s not confusing. For new guests who are like oh let’s go on the ship with the Marvel stuff that could be very confusing if all of the new marvel venues are on a new ship, but they offer marvel day at Sea on one of the older ships.

Considering Disney didn’t even bother adding any sort of theme to the Jan & Feb Fantasy sailings (no Pixar no Star Wars) I sort of feel like the writing is on the wall.

 

[JM_97]

Not a fan honestly.

It's very clear Disney is prioritizing IP's on their ships, rather than what you see on the first four ships. One of the main reasons I liked DCL was that I didn't always feel like I was in a Walt Disney Company commercial, but that appears to be changing.

That said, they have every right to do that. Those IP's make tons of money. It's just not for me so I'll most likely be skipping out on this one. Plenty of people (especially families) will make up for it though.

Calling it now. Enchanted Garden on Dream and Fantasy will be converted to World of Marvel.

Royal Caribbean and Norwegian are sounding better and better.

Are you trying to make me sad? That would be a major disappointment for those of us who like to talk to our families during dinner and be entertained in the theater instead.

That space doesn’t seem like it would work that well for a world of Marvel. I still think they might add in a dinner show because they do have that center space.
