Disney Destiny Grand Hall
The Grand Hall onboard the Disney Destiny features accents of gold and frosted glass, with a focus on the angular Wakandan architecture we’ve seen in the film Black Panther. Elements in the lobby include metalwork on the pillars inspired by banded armor, stacked jewelry, and a light fixture, inspired by Vibranium. If you remember, vibranium is the rare metallic ore we learn about in Black Panther. The decorative elements of this space are made to catch light, causing a variety of colorful effects.
What Character Statue is in the Grand Hall on the Disney Destiny?
Featured in the Grand Hall, the statue on the Disney Destiny is of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda.
Disney Destiny Staterooms
Onboard the Disney Destiny, you can find a variety of Disney Cruise Rooms to try out on your next sail. Featuring a split bath concept, each stateroom includes a shower/sink room, and a toilet/sink room, allowing for multiple people to get ready at once. Always a perks. The Disney Destiny also boasts a large selection of “connecting door” rooms, allowing larger families to share spaces. Rooms on the Disney Destiny are themed to Heroes and Villains.
The Disney Destiny includes 5 Room Types. Standard Rooms are Inside, Oceanview and Verandah. And there are also Concierge, and Royal Suites to choose from. As well as the signature Tower Suite. A big question to consider on any Disney Cruise is what kind of Disney Cruise stateroom you need. And since prices vary across all of these room types, it’s good to get an idea of what they each offer so you can make your best choice. Mind you, we’re not including concierge, or suites simply because we haven’t yet stayed in either. And it pays to consider that you may need one kind of room for a warm-weather cruise while choosing another for a cold-weather cruise. Similarly, your room preference may change depending on the length of your cruise. What may be okay for a 4-night cruise, may not work for a 14-day Transatlantic cruise.
Inside Staterooms
Inside staterooms on Disney Cruise ships are the cheapest onboard, while still offering all the amenities of the outside staterooms. They do not have a window, or port hole, but still feature a television, and sleeping room for four people.
Oceanview Staterooms
Oceanview Staterooms come with a variety of porthole options; Obstructed, Two Small Portholes, or One Large Porthole. The obstructed porthole room just means that there may be a pole or part of the ship in front of your oceanview window. If you’re not in your room a lot, or during daylight hours, this may not be an issue for you. Rooms with two small portholes offer views of the water, however, the windows are definitely quite small. Rooms with one large porthole often have a window seat built-in and give you a great view of the scenery. Perfect for gazing out the window.
Verandah Staterooms
Verandah Rooms include a balcony with seating that overlooks the water and are a dream on cruises with a view but do cost significantly more. And may not be the best bet for families with small children. We have had a verandah room on several of the ships, and they are lovely, but so much of what you see from your room is dependent upon which side of the boat your room is on, and which side of the port is prettiest. If you’re sailing to Disney’s Castaway Cay, Starboard Side is the best side to be on.
Concierge Staterooms
Concierge Level Rooms are themed to Fantasia and get access to a concierge lounge and private sun deck. Also on the Disney Destiny are seven Oceanview Rooms, positioned directly above the bridge, for panoramic views. These rooms feature an Incredibles theme.
Concierge Lounge
As part of the amenities available to you, if you’re staying at the concierge level, there is a private lounge and deck available to concierge guests. This space is themed to the Avengers, and inspired by their Manhattan headquarters.
Royal Suites
You can also book a Disney Destiny Royal Suite, which includes the Hero Suites ( themed to Hercules) and the IncrediSuites ( themed to the Incredibles)
Tower Suite
This Marvel inspired penthouse, has a sleek and industrial design, inspired by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man himself. Featuring 2,000 square feet of living space, the Destiny Tower Suite sleeps eight with dining, living and playing spaces. It also features a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.

Wonderland and Neverland Movie Theaters

These theaters provide you with more options than ever to watch classic and first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and more. We always love the movie theaters onboard Disney Cruise, and these promise to be top-notch.
FunnelVision
Another mainstay of any Disney Cruise is the ability to watch Disney movies ALL DAY LONG up on deck on the FunnelVision screen. On the Disney Destiny FunnelVision can be found on Deck 11, alongside Mickey’s Festival of Foods, and drink stations. Disney films like Sleeping Beauty, Wreck-it Ralph, and Pirates of the Caribbean are all part of the lineup on the big screen. Simply grab a chair, and settle in. For the most part, films run all day, with the exception of party or event times, and are a great reason to take a break and relax
Disney Destiny Shows
Shows on a Disney Cruise are opposite your dinner times, and happen at at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Be sure to keep an eye on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for scheduled showtimes once you arrive onboard. The Disney Destiny has 3 Shows.

Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party
The Disney Destiny hosts Pirate Night for one night during your cruise. And it’s basically, it’s a reason to dress up, sing some sea shanties, and catch Mickey and Friends in their pirate costumes. This is also the evening event where Disney Cruise sets off their famous Fireworks at Sea! So, if you’re looking for extra fun, be sure to take the time and head to Deck 11 for the Pirate Night party on the FunnelVision deck. This evening event takes place close to 10 or 10:30 pm so definitely late for the little ones. But never fear, there are other pirate events happening a little earlier if you need to skip this late-night party.
