Summary

We’re sharing our full review after spending eight nights aboard Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny. We sailed back-to-back four-night itineraries, beginning with the Maiden Voyage and continuing immediately into the Inaugural Sailing with the first paying guests onboard. In this episode, we break down what those first two sailings were really like, including our early impressions of dining, entertainment, venues, staterooms, onboard experiences, and how the ship felt once guests filled the spaces for the first time. We’re also discussing what surprised us, what exceeded expectations, and what future guests should know as the Disney Destiny begins her life in the fleet. Join us as we reflect on the highs, the learning curves, and everything in between from our time onboard. Listen now and join the conversation!
