We're hoping to cruise Jan 2027 for a 70th and 40th birthday. We are 2 in early 70s, 3 mid 30s and 1 (boy) aged 5. We did the Magic and Wonder in the 90s when thats all there was. We haven't cruised Disney since but have cruised over 50 times on other lines. Which would be the best for our ages. We (grandparents) prefer the old stuff, Peter Pan, Snow White, Mary Poppins. The 30 somethings prefer Lion King, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Hunchback, Pocahontas. And the 5 year old likes Spiderman, Bluey and Paw Patrol(I don't think their Disney, lol), dinosaurs and swimming. He's the only one who is into any of the Marvel characters. None of us have seen the recent Disney animation like, Coco, Elements, Encanto, Luca. We're thinking of doing Destiny for Spiderman but do they have the regular characters? Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto? What about shows, back in the day they had some great shows, I assume they still do?
Thanks
Tony
 
We are scheduled to be on the Destiny in June - similar age groups.

We did a ton of comparisons and while no one in the group is a big Marvel fan, on balance it seemed like there was something for everyone. The only thing I’ll flag (and this is preemptively as we don’t know it will be an issue), our date only stops at Lookout Cay @ Lighthouse Point instead of Castaway Cay. There’s some concern about the walk to the beach based on other posts we read, so maybe take that into consideration.

We’re not big cruisers so I’ll let the more experienced folks weigh in.

Have a fun trip whatever you decide!

Based on your group’s interests I would also say Destiny.

Destiny:

Lion King dinner show
Hercules and Frozen stage shows (along with Seas the Adventure)
Spider-man, Black Panther and Loki as Marvel characters
Cruella, Dr Facilier and Maleficent as villains
All the normal characters like Mickey, Minnie etc and a handful of princesses

I think Bluey might be getting added to the Dream? I think it was the Dream.

My one caveat with the Destiny is that the adult pool area is nowhere near as good as the Magic/Wonder/Dream/Fantasy.
