Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that the storytelling and the storytellers on the Disney Destiny have sort of raised the bar in terms of interactive, immersive, somewhat intimate storytelling experiences.

I think Hercules alone is reason enough to book a cruise on this ship.

Bigger does not necessarily mean be better. I have been on other cruise lines that have some larger ships and look... you've cheated on Disney Cruise Line.

I don't think they're going too fast. I think what they're going to do is start making and creating more opportunities for more people to experience Disney Cruise Line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Destiny if you are a Marvel or Hercules fan.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not being into Marvel/VillainsThe theme is broad enough to include Disney animated villains and heroes, and the shows can be enjoyed for their production value even without deep fandom knowledge.
Villain interactions being scary or negativeThe 'meet and play' format is immersive and well-acted; villains are not 'huggable' but interactions are respectful and fun.
