What We Found Aboard the Disney Treasure

Share This!

Are you sailing on the Disney Treasure? Thinking about it? The Treasure is the second Wish-class ship, after the debut of the Disney Wish in 2022. The Treasure has a nearly identical layout to its predecessor, but updates to onboard venues and decor make a world of difference. I cruised on the Treasure at the end of 2024, and I’ve got everything you need to know, below.

The Disney Treasure set out on its maiden voyage on December 21, 2024. It homeports at Port Canaveral, Florida, sailing 7-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. To look for a sailing, visit the ship’s page on Disney’s site and tap “View Dates” at the top. When you’re ready to reserve, we think savvy travelers should book cruises with a travel agent.

Disney Treasure Grand Hall

The Grand Hall features a multi-floor spiral staircase and a stage. Throughout your trip, you’ll see performances and character Meet & Greets use the stage. A large statue of Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, and the Magic Carpet at the foot of the staircase celebrates the ship’s “Adventure” theme. Throughout the Atrium, look for more Agrabah reflected in colors and design patterns. You’ll find rich jewel-toned carpets, colorful mosaic tile designs, Rajah, and more.

A lantern-style chandelier hangs from the center of Deck 5, surrounded by several smaller lanterns. Each of these represents a different Disney Cruise Line Ship which is indicated by a unique character. Cinderella for the Disney Wish, Donald for the Disney Dream, Minnie for the Disney Fantasy, Ariel for the Disney Wonder, and Mickey for the Disney Magic.

Disney Treasure Staterooms

The ship has 1,234 staterooms and can carry 4,000 passengers. Stateroom categories include Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, and Concierge. As is standard aboard Disney Cruise Line, most staterooms have a “split bathroom”. This signature DCL feature makes getting ready for any excursion – whether to a port or just to dinner – so much easier.

Cabins have ample room for storage plus some thoughtfully placed outlets and charging ports. The good-sized TV is loaded up with classic Disney films. Rooms are themed by deck to classic films such as Encanto, Aladdin, and Pocahontas. The Concierge category also includes several suites.

Dining

You’ll find plenty of food aboard the Treasure. In addition to the restaurants, bars, and lounges below, Room Service is available at no charge.

Disney Treasure Restaurants

The ship has three rotational dining restaurants. Two of them can also be found aboard the Wish: Worlds of Marvel and 1923. The third dining room is Plaza de Coco. Dining in these restaurants, as well as the buffet and Quick Service kiosks, is included with your cruise fare.

1923 celebrates the year that the Walt Disney Animation Studio was founded. The elegant space is filled with display cases featuring artwork, animation, and props from classic Disney films.  The dining rooms (Walt and Roy Disney) have the unique benefit of having natural light. It’s perfect for the 5:15 dinner seating and wonderful to enjoy when the dining room is serving breakfast.

At Worlds of Marvel, the superhero-themed dining room hosts two distinct dining shows during each sailing. The first, Avengers: Quantum Encounter will be familiar to those who have sailed on the Wish. On your second visit to Worlds of Marvel, you’ll be treated to a new show that has debuted with the Treasure. Groot Remix features trivia and entertainment from everyone’s favorite Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot, and Rocket.

The new dining room, Plaza de Coco, is inspired by the film Coco. Each sailing has two distinct shows that take place in Santa Cecilia. The first evening is a mariachi celebration with Miguel and his family. The second show is a Dia de Los Muertos celebration featuring his great great great grandparents Hector and Mama Imelda, along with a talented team of musicians and dancers. The dining room is laid out with a stage at the center of the dining room. This can cause some issues in viewing the shows for tables with a less-than-optimal sightline of the stage. The music makes it an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Marceline Market is the main pool deck buffet restaurant. The layout features individual stations rather than a long buffet. The food is fantastic and will ruin all other cruise line buffets for you.

On the upper decks, Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods is home to several Quick Service kiosks. Mickey’s Smokestack BBQ, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Minnie’s Delights are where you’ll find your chicken fingers and pizza, among other savory and sweet items.

Jumbeaux’s Sweets is a Zootopia-themed ice cream and candy store. Jumbeaux’s sells more than 30 flavors of house-made ice cream and gelato, as well as a variety of confections and packaged candies.

Two adult-exclusive restaurants, Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté, are available for an additional cost. These venues, featuring dishes by Chef Arnaud Lallement, require a reservation.  Like the Wish, they are lightly themed to Beauty and the Beast. Palo serves both brunch and dinner, while Enchanté serves lunch and dinner.

Disney Treasure Bars and Cafes

There are several bars and cafes aboard. These range from highly themed destination spaces to quick spots to walk up and grab a coffee.

Skipper Society, themed to the Jungle Cruise, is near the Grand Hall. The space not only uses design aspects from the ride, such as the striped canopy seen aboard the boats in the attraction, but even utilizes music from the queue. Listen for it during times when the lounge isn’t host to live music. There are a lot of nods to S.E.A. here, which will delight diehard Disney fans.

Periscope Pub is themed to the film and attraction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The space evokes a submarine, decked out with nautical nods like gauges and gears, and with floating fish above you on the ceiling. Fun fact: the fish footage was captured inside one of the tanks at The Seas with Nemo and Friends in EPCOT. During the day the space hosts activities like trivia, but at night Periscope Pub turns into the unofficial sports bar. The bar menu has craft beer, cocktails, and food items available for purchase such as burgers, chicken tenders, and pretzels.

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is outside of the Grand Hall, adjacent to the Skipper Society. The Parlor holds its own legend of a sea captain and his fiancee, but you’ll find aspects of the attraction throughout the space. From transforming portraits hung on the wall, to the iconic ‘Donald Duck’ chair, and Madame Leota, the lounge is a truly special place for fans of the ride. However great you think this space is going to be, I can guarantee you: it’s even better.

Scat Cat Lounge is a piano bar based on The Aristocats, directly off the Grand Hall. The bar features cocktails, champagne flights, and an extensive list of mocktails. Fans of the film can spot wallpaper decorated with Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse, and even a set of paw prints across the piano.

The Rose is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge outside of Palo and Enchanté. Like the version onboard the Wish, it’s complemented by a wall of windows, making it the perfect place to catch the sunset or enjoy a classy cocktail before or after dinner. You don’t need a reservation at one of the upcharge restaurants in order to enjoy The Rose.

Sarabi is a two-floor lounge inspired by The Lion King. It’s home to games, shows, and performances. You’d probably head there because you wanted to see the entertainment, rather than for a drink. But it does have a small bar.

For coffee, Cove Cafe is located on the adults-only deck. It serves up coffee and espresso-based beverages, including coffee-forward cocktails, mocktails, and a selection of liquor. And the Heihei Cafe and Jade Cricket Cafe are walk-up coffee bars adjacent to the Grand Hall. They serve coffee, tea and snacks.

Recreation, Shows, & Entertainment

Disney Treasure Kids Clubs

The Kid’s Clubs onboard the Treasure are similar to those found on the other ships. It’s a Small World Nursery is available for the youngest sailors between 6 months and 3 years old. Reservations are required for this youngest care space.

Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab are for children between 3 and 10. The Oceaneer Club spaces include Marvel Superhero Academy, Star Wars Cargo Bay, the Imagineering Lab, Fairytale Hall, and Mickey & Minnie’s Captain Deck. Kids in these spaces can expect interactive activities, including visits from some of their favorite characters.

For pre-teens and teens, Vibe and Edge are available with activities throughout the day. Edge is on Deck 5, and older kids can head up to Deck 12 for Vibe.

Live Shows, Movies, and Entertainment

The Walt Disney Theater features three stage shows on the Treasure. They have two performances each on nights when they’re shown. You’ll find one performance opposite each dinner seating so that everyone can find a time to see the show.

Disney Seas the Adventure is a fun variety mashup of some of your favorite Disney and Pixar characters, loosely threaded through with a plot. Beauty and the Beast is a production based on the Disney film. Both of these shows are also on other Disney ships, but the Tale of Moana is brand-new for the Treasure. It follows the journey of Moana and features impressive singing, dancing, and world-class puppeteering.

There are two movie theaters onboard, the Treasure, the Wonderland and Never Land cinemas. These show both new and classic films throughout the sailing. (And of course, you’ll find popcorn stands outside the venue doors.) Funnel Vision also shows movies as well as some popular sporting events on the Main Pool Deck.

Another highlight is Disney Cruise Line’s well-known Pirate Night. The Treasure does include Pirate Night featuring the beloved Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party and of course, fireworks.

Disney Treasure Pools

The Treasure has 10 pools, plus water play areas and splash pads. Overall, they’re very similar to what you’ll find on the Wish. The Slide-a-saurus Rex is a kid-sized water slide, but it does have a 38″ height requirement. This multi-deck flume deposits riders beside the Toy Story Splash Zone, a play area for young children. This splash area that features favorite Toy Story friends is the only water area on the ship that’s open to kids who aren’t potty trained.

The Treasure also has the AquaMouse water coaster that debuted with the Wish. On the Treasure, the AquaMouse features a new on-ride film, The Temple of the Golden Egg.

Spa and Gym Area

Senses Spa offers beauty and spa treatments, as well as the Rainforest Room. The Rainforest Room aboard the Treasure is truly something special, with stunning emerald green tiles, and hot stone loungers. An expansive private outdoor deck area has multiple hot tubs. Passes for the Rainforest Room are available for the duration of the sailing or, when available, individual days.

The fitness center adjacent to Senses Spa includes weight lifting and cardio equipment. There’s also a dedicated room for spin classes with several bikes. Untangled Salon offers manicures, pedicures, and hairstyling services. Hook’s Barbery is the place to go shaves, haircuts, and a full bar with specialty whiskies.

Just for Adults

The Quiet Cove is an adults-only area featuring an infinity pool, bar, and loungers. This deck is also home to the Cove Cafe. The footprint is identical to that onboard the Wish which is unfortunate as that’s been a sore point for Wish sailors. A common complaint is that the pool is small and gets crowded easily,

The advantage of the Treasure is that many of the venues are so captivating – even more than the Wish. People may find themselves spending free time in the immersive lounges inside, rather than out on the pool deck. Sailors with a Rainforest Room pass may find they prefer the exclusive deck there.

Summing Up

The Treasure is a beautiful ship, with noticeable improvements on the Wish. Some issues remain: the adults-only Quiet Cove Pool is tight quarters and can easily be overwhelmed by the number of guests looking to float. Likewise, the lack of a mid-ship elevator bank is a pain point for some guests. However, the vastly updated venues, eye-catching design, and intricate artwork onboard provide reasons aplenty to book a trip.
