Disney Cruise Line's newest vessel, the Disney Destiny, is preparing for its inaugural journey, and we've had a glimpse of all the exciting features on board!
This ship is packed with thrilling experiences, including a strong Marvel influence, a Hercules stage show, and a Pirates of the Caribbean lounge. Our highlight is the new Lion King dining experience aboard the ship.
**Atmosphere**
Replacing the dinner-show format seen with Frozen and Coco on other Disney ships, the Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King Restaurant immerses guests in Simba's story through the film's beloved songs.
**Eats**
Among the noteworthy dishes is the Curried Apricot Chicken Sosaties, which combines grilled chicken skewers, tri-color quinoa pilaf, and red chermoula. It's well-seasoned with flavorful African spices.
The Roasted Red Capsicum Soup is a refreshing dish with a delightful pepper flavor rather than a typical tomato soup taste.
Sarabi’s Roasted Beef Tenderloin Salad had mixed reviews due to the temperature of the beef and lack of excitement with the salad.
Pan-Seared Berbere Spiced Roasted Chicken was a hit, bursting with flavor and reminiscent of beloved Disney dishes.
For dessert, the Passion Fruit Layer Cake and Zebra Sundae are both appealing options, catering to different taste preferences with unique textures and flavors.
The African Sangria wasn’t a standout, with its watered-down taste underwhelming.
**Overall Impressions**
Pride Lands will undoubtedly charm Lion King fans and deliver a memorable dining experience aboard the Disney Destiny, but some dishes stand out more than others. Are you thinking of boarding the Disney Destiny? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to know what you’re most excited about!
