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

[FreeTime]

Some of my other takes of the Treasure in addition to the replies above:

The transition from the atrium to the other areas is awful. It felt like a 1970-80s office building.

The dinner “shows” are not necessary and take away from an enjoyable dinner. Same complaint on other ships. Coco is large and open, feels like a concrete floored cafeteria.

Shopping area is leaning toward other non-Disney shops with high end resale. Adding More Disney merch would be better IMO.

I was shocked, probably shouldn’t have been, at the low quality finishes throughout. 1923 - the wood paneled walls you can clearly tell are, the best way to describe it, contact paper. The atrium wood (see above) yuck. Above the bed artwork looks like a cheap poster.

Furniture - the foldout sofa in the stateroom, fabric feels like burlap and it is very hard. Common area furniture on 4&5 looks nice but is designed to encourage people to not stay very long due to low backs on the sofas.

Menus are uninspired, food lacked flavor, was cafeteria quality whether the dining rooms or pool deck and the buffet had to be the worse of any ship DCL or otherwise that I have been on.

To add some positives, the staff was wonderful.

WD Theater seating was nice and the theater well designed.

HM and Skipper’s Society were fun.

Adult pool areas have a great location.

Concierge pool deck is far superior than RCCL.

I am glad I got to experience it without paying a premium price. I would have been very disappointed paying full fare just because of the cheap finishes and the food.

My problem with DCL is that everything new has to be about a character or movie. The design of the new ships is hideous, and I really miss the design of the 4 older ships that had just a few venues with Disney IP. The designers of the Triton class have really let DCL down. If the new class of ships follows the Triton Class, I shall take my money to RCI.

I predict that service on that ship is going to be impeccable!

So I haven’t seen enough different room layouts, but it looks like they don’t have USB-A ports for charging devices in at least a solid portion of the staterooms on the Treasure, or if they do it’s just 1.

Only reason this would be a minor issue is the DisneyBand+ charging cable is USB-A. Yes you can plan to pack adapters and all, but the convenience factor of having those types of ports already available in staterooms would’ve been nice especially if they plan any future functionality with the DisneyBand+, which I saw they added an interactive element with the band for the Haunted Mansion Parlor.

Our stateroom had two USB-A’s, two euro outlets, four us outlets.

No USB-C? They had them at our WDW hotel so I thought it would be a given to future proof a bit.

Rooms had at least 3-4 USB-C from the postings I’ve seen. They just cut back on the amount of USB-A from the Wish.

I don’t recall any. However, this was on the crossing so they may not have installed them yet although I would have thought they would have been added as part of the prefab.

Interesting info on why number 718 appears in several locations on the Disney Treasure:

Thanks, I’m excited to watch it. We won’t cruise there until January 2026, so it will be interesting to see how much it changes by the time we get there!

I wonder if they will show this on the ships as well. I happen to be on board January 17.

The designers of the Triton class have really let DCL down

They probably should have required her to actually sail on the other 4 ships - or picked someone who had cruised before.

And the sad thing is the Triton class is stunning but not great functionally. I think if she had designed a deluxe WDW resort it would be my favorite but some of the ship aspects dont work well IMO

Disney Cruise Line Shares Details on Expanding Fleet

Today, Disney Cruise Line shared more details on the expansion of its award-winning fleet, including the introduction of a new class of vessel and the addition of a fourth ship in the Wish class. These ships, which will debut between 2027 and 2031, will be constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering.

The three vessels in Disney’s new ship class will feature industry-leading technology and design to expand Disney Cruise Line’s global reach and support its environmental goals. Able to carry 3,000 Guests and measuring approximately 100,000 gross tons, they will be 20 percent larger than the Disney Magic class and smaller than the Disney Dream and Disney Wish classes, ultimately allowing Disney Cruise Line to access more ports and destinations across the globe, bringing its world-class entertainment, incredible dining, Guest service, and uniquely Disney experiences to more families in more places. The three ships are planned for delivery in 2029, 2030 and 2031.

“As we expand our fleet, it is important that we continue to provide a variety of experiences for our Guests. Families enjoy the diversity of vacations we offer, from our classic vessels to our Wish-class ships. They also expect to explore a broad range of destinations, including those that prefer to host smaller ships,” said Thomas Mazloum, president, New Experiences Portfolio & Disney Signature Experiences. “At the same time, we are focused on implementing new technology and designs that align with our longstanding commitment to the environment.”

Among the lightest cruise ships of their size in the industry, the new vessels will save fuel with a streamlined hull, next-generation power and propulsion systems, and numerous other operations optimized for energy efficiency. In addition to an innovative design and the efficient use of building materials from bow to stern, the ships will be outfitted with energy-efficient systems and a battery system to support and supplement the main engines.

When in port, the new vessels can rely on shore power technology to turn off their engines and “plug in” to a port’s energy grid to run onboard systems. They will also have the capability and flexibility to operate on a variety of fuels, including hydrotreated vegetable oil and renewable methanol fuels, while remaining adaptable to additional fuel options that become available to the cruise industry. The new class will also continue Disney Cruise Line’s long-standing initiatives to minimize waste, conserve water and align with The Walt Disney Company’s 2030 environmental goals.

“Our team of Disney Imagineers is dreaming up this new class of ships to be as fuel and energy efficient as possible, and our Guests will see the difference – from a more hydrodynamic design to lighter materials and energy-efficient technology throughout the ships,” said Philip Gennotte, Portfolio Project Management Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. “We’re very proud to continue to support Disney’s broader environmental goals, now and into the future.”

In addition to this new class of vessel, Disney Cruise Line will introduce an additional sister ship to the Disney Wish (2022), Disney Treasure (2024), and Disney Destiny (2025). The ship, set for delivery in 2027, will be approximately 144,000 gross tons, accommodate 4,000 Guests, and be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).

This expansion continues a period of growth for Disney Cruise Line, which currently has a fleet of six ships. The Disney Destiny, which will homeport at Port Everglades, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and the Disney Adventure, which will homeport in Singapore, are slated to set sail in late 2025, and the recently announced relationship with Disney and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) will bring Disney cruise vacations to Japan in 2029. Along with these ships, the four detailed today will expand the Disney Cruise Line fleet to a total of 13 by 2031. The four ship names, onboard experiences, itineraries and designs are still in development and will be announced at a later date.

And people said it would never happen......they would all be Wish size or mega ships

I hope this means we get some destinations beyond the 3/4 night Bahamas and 7 night Eastern/Western itineraries....which don't get me wrong, I enjoy...but something different would be nice
