Trip review - Disney Treasure

Hello!

I made a Disney cruise tips and tricks post a little bit ago, so I thought I would do a follow up on our actual cruise. We sailed on Disney's (currently) newest ship, the Disney Treasure in August for a seven-night western Caribbean cruise. We boarded on my husband's birthday, so it felt extra special. The ship is BEAUTIFUL. We've sailed on the Disney Wish twice and they are sister ships, so they share the same layout. I am not sure if it's just the different theming or if there was something in the energy of the ship, but to me, the Treasure blew the Wish out of the water. 

Oops. Maybe I shouldn't say that about a ship. Haha!

Depending on the day you ask us, it might be our favorite cruise. We had perfect weather the entire time, great staff, terrific food, and so much fun. I think we walked away with winners medals from three trivia and one game. We also won a Newlywed style game called Match Your Matey (pirate edition!)

I needed two stomachs to eat all the food I wanted to. It was that good. We dined at Palo (adults only specialty restaurant) for dinner for the first time and I'm still dreaming about the chocolate souffle. One of the great things about the rotational dining rooms is you eat at all three restaurants twice on a seven night, and it's a different menu for both times. You can order as much as you want. I know I should have ordered two of the three cheese souffles from night two at 1923. Sigh. Truly enjoyed everything I tried, except for the Californian Riesling risotto. That was just okay. I know I could've asked for something different, but the staff was so busy. I will know for next time though. 

My knee was not very cooperative most of the time, but the staff went out of their way to accommodate me. The shows on board were incredible. I will repeat a tip I made on my other post. *Do not* miss the Broadway style shows. The ones on the Treasure are Beauty and the Beast and Moana. Both shows are amazing!  We also got to see a boy band, two Broadway singers, and a magician that was a finalist on America's Got Talent this last season (Zak Mirz!) 

There are not many things better than that view. 

I watched a video recently of a Disney content creator sailing on the Disney Wish, and it struck me how different the experiences we had on the Wish compared to the Treasure. I mentioned before they have the same layout, only the theming is different. On the Wish, I think we hung out in Tiana's Bayou (bar lounge) for trivia and other things, and we didn't at all for the Jungle Cruise themed bar lounge in the same location. I never went to the Star Wars Hyperspace bar on the Wish but spent quite a bit of time in the Haunted Mansion themed bar on the Treasure (same location). It seems every cruise we have our hangout spots. The places we hung out on the Treasure I don't think we stepped foot in on the Wish. I both like that and found that interesting. Maybe that's just me. The great thing is there is literally something for everyone. And that's wonderful. 

We were on the Treasure for seven terrific nights and still wish we could've been on for more. I still feel like there was more to see or do than we had a chance to. It's definitely spoiled my husband for anything shorter than seven nights, haha! We were able to move at our own pace, not feel like we had to dart from event to event to take it all in. I think for me that sweet spot is between five and seven nights. It would need to be a special itinerary for us to sail on a four night ever again.  

There is no right answer to the question of which ship is best or which one you should sail on. It all depends on your needs, when you want to sail, where you want to go, etc. We love the Dream and Treasure. I feel like I've spent too much time talking down about the Wish, but it is also a spectacular ship. If you want to test the waters, so to speak, and only want to do a three or four night, highly recommend the Wish. We haven't been on the Magic or Wonder (yet) but from what I've seen and researched, those are also wonderful ships that sail in more places than just Florida. A lot of their ships sail out of Florida. It's nice to see Disney out at Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, and soon spending more time out of Galveston, TX. Maybe they will add New York back in the mix with the ships that are launching in the next few years. 

There was one thing negative. I came home with Covid. Not sure if it happened on our cruise or sometime in Florida. I was meticulous in washing my hands, and using hand sanitizer, but you never know. I've never gotten sick after a trip, so I guess it was my time.

I am not a travel agent, but if you come across this blog and have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll be happy to help with what I can or can refer you to a great travel agent for what I don't.

Anyways, I hope this was enjoyable and maybe a little helpful. Until next time!
