The Disney Cruise Line held a grand reveal Thursday morning to lay out more details on the Disney Wish, the company’s fifth cruise ship, which will set out from Port Canaveral for the Bahamas starting June 9, 2022. Just like many modern cruise ships, Disney Wish has a high proportion of Verandah and Oceanview staterooms. With that said, I doubt the Disney Wish will go down as my favorite ship or the one we’ll sail most in the long-term once that “new ship smell” wears off. For one thing, it’s a lot more expensive than comparable itineraries on the other ships and I’m not sure it’s worth the premium pricing–especially on repeat sailings. For another, I really like the layout, style, design of the other ships (save for the specialty dining and staterooms).
Disney Wish Deck-by-Deck
After checking into the kids club from the Grand Hall on Deck 3, children can zip down a magical slide that takes them straight into the space on Deck 2. The list of places to eat aboard Disney Wish is actually even longer than the three previously mentioned rotational dining restaurants. Disney says this restaurant features the best of the golden age of Hollywood, with the style of the furniture inspired by what was actually in Walt's office.

If you don’t mind shelling out just a bit of cash, you can add on wines, beer, sodas, specialty coffees, juices, and the like. The drinkware itself even adds to the theme of this lounge, which is inspired by Cinderella’s rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale” from the 1950 Disney classic movie. Like Marceline Market, most of the items here are included with the cost of your cruise. Our reviewers felts that dining at 1923 was like dining in a Disney museum (and that’s not a bad thing).

They felt it was much better than a traditional character meal, even for jaded adults. Compared to, say, a Cinderella’s Royal Table (Magic Kingdom) or Restaurant Akershus (EPCOT), the quality of the character entertainment and interactions is in a class by itself. The characters sing and lead interactive activities, but also take breaks from the show to stop by and visit your table. Even Olaf wheels in on a serving cart to delight diners (somewhat reminiscent of the table visits Remy made at EPCOT’s Chefs de France many years ago). Here’s a video overview of dining onboard the ship; below, we’ll investigate each restaurant more completely.

Disney Wish Kids Clubs and Teen Clubs
Thanks to a theatre-in-the-round setup, there’s a good view from pretty much anywhere in the dining room. Our reviewers were seated outside of the central ring of tables, but still had a good view (with the exception of an occasional person walking between the tables and the stage). Our reviewers were blown away by their experience here and ranked it as the top must-see, must-do, do-not-miss-it offering onboard. The menu offered a nice mix that’s sure to please both those who are more adventurous eaters and those who would rather stick to things they know and love. You may also have a chance to dine at one of these restaurants for breakfast or lunch at no additional cost, but note that the menu will vary and you won’t experience any of the “show” aspects noted in the descriptions below.

Almost everything here is included with the cost of your cruise, including sodas, juices, milk, tea, and traditional coffee. If you want one of the specialty coffees or other premium drinks prepared at the restaurant’s “cafe,” you’ll need to pay separately for those. Inspired by Beauty and the Beast‘s Cogsworth, Palo Steakhouse is a bit different from the Palo restaurant that is already well-known onboard the four prior Disney cruise ships.
Deck 14
The Senses Spa on the Disney Wish offers a variety of treatments and services designed to help guests relax and rejuvenate during their Disney Cruise vacation. Even if you don’t make it to the restaurants, try and take some time to look at the fabulous theming in this area. The restaurant is divided up into 2 identical sides, and these spaces are divided up into smaller “rooms’ with screens on the walls. Highly sought after, for good reason, as they offer a balcony where you can enjoy your own private outside space. But most definitely she is stunningly beautiful, brilliantly themed, packed with things to do, and perhaps the most adult-pleasing Disney Cruise ship at sea.
Rotational Dining Restaurants on the Disney Wish
There are different spaces on all of the Disney Cruise Ships for children of all ages. As you would expect, the kid’s clubs on the ship are an excellent facility for all ages from 6 months to age 17. If you are on a 4-night sailing you will have a different Pirate Night menu in the rotational restaurant that you are dining in that evening.
Join some of your favourite Disney Characters on a multidimensional search to find fragments of a shattered Wishing Star, navigating across Disney storybook worlds throughout your cruise. Using your mobile device as an “enchanted spyglass”, embark on quests that let you interact with the ship in new and exciting ways. Step into the magical worlds of some of your favourite Disney stories and feast upon delectable, gourmet specialities at 3 all-new, upscale family restaurants. Combining inventive design, cutting-edge technology and classic storytelling, the Disney Wish seamlessly brings Disney magic to life in new and unexpected ways, while creating the next generation in family entertainment.
Disney Wish has a full roster of new Broadway-style shows, along with several other new entertainment offerings. I tried out Palo while on Disney Wish, and it was over-the-top amazing when it came to the service, the views and, of course, the food itself. The last of Disney Wish's new rotational restaurants is 1923, which is named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded.
Infants as young as six months old — up through toddlers just shy of their third birthday — are cared for in this secure nursery onboard. Specially-trained counselors keep everyone fed, changed, happy, entertained, and ready for visits by Disney friends. The spot for tweens aged 11-14, Edge is a New York City inspired loft-style hangout. Enjoy visits from the Disney Princesses while making royal crafts at Rapunzel’s art studio, acting out stories in Belle’s Library, and crating a bit of ice magic at Anna & Elsa’s Sommerhus.
Enjoy pipe slides, ship’s wheels, activities and games, and even an occasional visit from Captains Mickey and Minnie. The menu is surprisingly complete, but not necessarily the most exciting. We’ve never had a bad meal from room service onboard Disney Cruise Line, but none of them have been particularly spectacular, either.
Disney is all about the young and the young at heart, and that sentiment holds true for the entirety of the Disney Cruse Line fleet. From on-deck dance parties to dining with “Frozen” characters Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, and much more in between, passengers are invited to be a part of the all-ages fun on the Disney Wish. Concierge Staterooms - Disney storytelling soars to new heights inside these rooms that feature a premium level of service. Stay in a Tangled-inspired cabin, or rest in one of 7 special The Little Mermaid-themed spaces featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to sea. Adults can dine, relax and immerse themselves in magical settings designed just for them on the Disney Wish - from upscale restaurants and sophisticated lounges to an expansive pool area.
Sip a cocktail in an elegant setting, replete with antique mirrors and floating rose petals. This elegant, adult-exclusive lounge is reminiscent of the enchanted castle from Beauty and the Beast, and is the perfect prelude or postscript to a sophisticated meal at Enchanté or Palo Steakhouse. Fine Wines, handcrafted cocktails, and a shimmering chandelier set the scene at this chill piano bar aboard the Disney Wish. Your piano player might even know a few obscure Disney parks tunes if you ask politely enough. Dinner at these three restaurants is included in the cost of your cruise. In many of the big categories, the Disney Wish is exactly like the other Disney Cruise ships.
