24 hours into crusing: Listed below are 7 techniques the brand-new Disney Want has shocked me
Editor’s notice: TPG author Summer season Hull sailed on Disney Want on a loose go back and forth equipped by way of Disney Cruise Line. The critiques expressed underneath are completely hers and weren’t matter to study by way of the road.
This sort of issues isn’t like the opposite.
Disney Want simply joined Disney Cruise Line‘s fleet as its 5th send and the road’s first new send in a decade. Whilst the primary 4 ships — Magic, Dream, Marvel and Delusion — are no doubt distinctive in their very own techniques, they’re obviously carefully similar sisters.
However now not Want.
Disney Want seems to be very similar to its sisters at the out of doors, with Disney’s conventional crimson funnels and black, white and gold paint task, however in some ways, the send is an overly other revel in at the inside of.
Even though I’ve sailed more than one instances with Disney Cruise Line at the first 4 ships, Disney Want has already shocked me in a couple of techniques, even if I’m solely in the future into the christening voyage. A few of these are small variations, whilst others are a lot better shifts.
Listed below are seven techniques Disney Want has shocked me.

In This Put up
Disney Want seems like a contemporary resort … or a citadel
The primary 4 Disney ships have a undying, daring, nautical really feel. Loads of army blue, crimson and white are in play on the ones ships.
That theme makes you’re feeling such as you’re on a vintage ocean liner, which is cool, however Disney selected to move in a brand new course with Want. It’s refreshingly amusing to look one thing noticeably other within the fleet.
Comparable: A primary have a look at pictures aboard the Disney Want
Disney Want additionally leans into sunglasses of blue, nevertheless it accents the colour with pinks, golds, vegetables and different lighter, trendy tones.
It feels extra in keeping with the way in which Disney is now designing its higher-end lodges — just like the Grand Floridian — than its first 4 cruise ships.
I’d describe the vibe on board Disney Want as new resort meets cruise send, with a dash of chateau.
It’s stunning, other and numerous amusing.
The meals is actually excellent
Don’t get me improper; I’m satisfied sufficient with the meals at the first 4 Disney ships, however I’m so much happier with the meals on Disney Want. I don’t know why it’s higher, however 4 foods in, I will be able to say that it’s.
It’s now not simply the eating places showcasing higher delicacies. The on-deck meals close to the swimming pools is a number of notches above the pool-adjacent meals at the different ships. I actively sought out a 2nd on-deck meal in this crusing, while on previous Disney cruises, I solely consume by way of the pool when completely important for a meal of hen hands and fries.
I had the similar response to lunch in 1923. It was once a greater noon meal than lunches I’ve eaten on different Disney ships prior to now.
The dinner in Arendelle, the Frozen-themed eating place, was once additionally considerably higher than I anticipated. I assumed the display will be the superstar of the night, however the salmon, veggies and different aspects had been simply as robust.
Comparable: What it’s like on a Disney Cruise
You don’t have to the touch the elevator buttons
That is small however indisputably other.
To request the elevator, you simply hover your finger over the button and the ground is “magically” decided on.
In my revel in, this does lead to a few unintended flooring being decided on when children get as regards to the buttons, nevertheless it’s nonetheless type of … magical.
The most productive grownup drink comes to a popsicle
Sure, there’s a $5,000 Megastar Wars drink on Disney Want, however I’m guessing that’s now not an actual menu choice for many. The most productive drink maximum cruisers can come up with the money for is one with a popsicle.
Within the adults-only space of the send, you’ll to find 4 popsicle-based beverages: Strawberry Basil, Berry Mojito, Cucumber Honey Dew or Mango Tajin. Every is served with a pitcher of accompanying liquid, reminiscent of Black Cherry White Claw, Moet or Topo Chico.
Those are referred to as Pop-Spritz and value $15 every. Having sampled the Berry Mojito, Cucumber Honey Dew and Strawberry Basil choices, I will be able to confirm they’re all remarkable and completely well worth the go back and forth to the again of the send within the grownup space.
The AquaMouse is most commonly just like the AquaDuck
Those can’t all be sure surprises (although maximum definitely are). However thus far the “first Disney appeal at sea,” AquaMouse, isn’t as other from the present AquaDuck water slide on Disney Dream and Delusion as I might have was hoping.
It’s a large number of amusing — nevertheless it’s now not that other from the others.
It was once having operational bother lately, so I’m satisfied to be confirmed improper if some key parts had been down in this preview. However whilst the lovable Mickey cartoons going up the ramp had been amusing to look, I’m now not certain that differentiates it sufficient from AquaDuck to warrant being handled as an “appeal” when the others aren’t.
The spa will take your breath away
Truthfully, many portions of the send took my breath away, however the spa is a number of notches above what you’ll to find on different Disney Cruise Line ships.
The massive out of doors space and the indoor rainforest space may just stay you comfortable and satisfied for hours. The ice room, the swings with the nice and cozy water on your toes and the heated loungers are simply as great as you’d to find anyplace.
A move to the Rainforest Room is priced at $166 during this cruise, however house permitting, you’ll be able to discuss with it as repeatedly as you need over the process the crusing.
I if truth be told sought after to be in one of the most many swimming pools
That is the place the truth of our media preview crusing, with its most probably decrease capability and less children, might be influencing my opinion. However that doesn’t inform the entire tale in regards to the swimming pools being extra inviting on Want.
Disney Want gives extra swimming pools than its sisters — together with a number of I if truth be told need to spend time in.
The infinity pool at the again of the send feels trendy and welcoming for the 18+ contingent.
Even at the primary a part of the pool deck, there are layers of circle of relatives swimming pools, a few of which if truth be told move all of the means as much as my chin and are amusing to leap in to chill off.
Final analysis
Disney Want is decidedly Disney with a princess makeover space for the little ones (together with a Captain Minnie outfit!), Disney films within the theaters, onboard characters and two all-new eating places that double as immersive Disney leisure.
Nevertheless it’s the kind of Disney the place you’ll be able to spherical a nook, go away the characters at the back of and unexpectedly be in a contemporary, beautiful house with fabulous cocktails and a sublime vibe.
It’s stunning, and there’s no query I can need to sail once more once conceivable. 3 nights isn’t just about sufficient to discover all it has to supply, particularly when it’s so other from the road’s different ships.
