  • Brenda: Disney has recently released more details about their latest ship, Disney Destiny which will begin sailing from Port Everglades in November 2025. The theme of the ship is ‘Heroes and Villains’ and, as a Marvel fanatic, I feel like this ship is meant for me. The stern will feature Spiderman and the statue in the grand atrium will be Black Panther. This ship will feature some really cool bar offerings including: a Cruella DeVil-themed Piano Bar (De Vil’s), as well as Cask and Cannon, a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed pub. There is even a Dr. Strange-themed bar called The Sanctum. And finally, they will be including the Haunted Mansion Parlor like the one that will be featured on the Disney Treasure later this year. There will be some truly amazing dining experiences like The Lion King Dinner show. Plus, the Avengers will be represented at the Spiderman-featured Worlds of Marvel dining experience, and there will be a 1923 just like on the Disney Wish. Disney Seas the Adventure and the broadway-style production of Frozen will be two of the shows onboard as well. Again, coming to Port Everglades in November 2025 and reservations can be booked on September 10. Don’t miss out on what is sure to be an amazing cruising experience.
