Creator's Key Takeaways

We are here for the maiden voyage of the Disney Destiny. And we are so excited.

It's gorgeous. Loving it. Love the Hercules.

This is what cruising is all about.

What a day. What a day. And it was still an amazing day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get close to the ship to connect to Wi-Fi and plan activities while waiting to board.
Take down hangers in the stateroom to avoid noise from ship swaying.
Go to the first showing of adult shows to avoid long lines.
Try to get seats by the stairs or aisle for potential show participation.

YouTube Video Description

Join us as we embark on the first ever public sailing of Disney’s newest ship - the Disney Destiny! We’ll show you as much as we can of all that there is to see on board during our 4-night cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Lookout Cay and Castaway Cay. Welcome to embarkation day! It's our first ever maiden voyage and we couldn't be more excited! After waiting to board, you'll see our reactions to boarding the Destiny for the first time, then it's off to explore, get dining situated, and head to our stateroom for a first look at our Category 5C Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah - this time with no unexpected bed breaks! If you're curious about room themes, we'll be going over those in a later video. However, we still have the excel spreadsheet we used to pick our room theme down below! After taking a quick peek at our friend's room (thanks Theme Park Express!) and Castaway Club gifts, it's time for the usual muster drill before we head up to Let's Set Sail - this time featuring a very special guest appearance! There's no time to waste once it's done though because we head straight over to the Legend of Loki in the Grand Hall. Afterward, we have a quick reprieve up on deck to take in the sunset, then Cheyenne heads off to wait in line for With Great Power: A Marvel Comedy Show! Once that hilarious chaos is over, it's time for dinner at Worlds of Marvel, then some more late night ship explorations (and merch regrets...) before calling it a night! We have so much amazing footage of the Destiny coming your way, so subscribe if you'd like to wend and wander along with us for more! 00:00 Welcome + at the Terminal! 06:24 Stepping Onboard 08:56 Dining Reservations + Lunch 13:52 Hercules Room Tour 23:31 Stateroom Gifts 29:06 Incredibles Inside Room + Pearl Gifts 33:21 Let’s Set Sail - with Susan Egan! 43:41 The Legend of Loki 51:29 Sunset Explorations 54:13 With Great Power: A Marvel Comedy Show 1:01:59 Dinner at Worlds of Marvel 1:10:30 Late Night Ship Explorations 1:18:45 Goodnight!
