The paintings changing looks pretty cool.

That bar is going to be SWARMED.
Treasure seems to be far better executed than the Wish
I do not like actual HM show elements being used here. It's lazy. The Haunted Mansion Parlor should be HM-inspired not stuff directly lifted from the attraction. The nautical additions are nice but Madame Leota and the Ghost Host should remain tethered to the mansion.

I really like how the Treasure is looking so far! As one who enjoyed the Wish, I can’t wait to see how the two compare!
How is it lazy? Doing no show scenes at all is lazy. They didnt have to put any show scenes in at all. Yet they did. And the bar seems to have plenty of HM inspired but not directly copied stuff.

It’s odd to me the DCL ships have gone from an understated ocean liner theme to heavily themed at the exact same time the Disney hotels have gone from heavily themed to understated.
How can the same company actively add theming in one division while actively removing it in another? It defies logic. Either theming is appealing to your guests or it isn’t, make up your mind.
I suspect I’m still going to prefer the earlier DCL ships but I can’t wait to get onboard the Adventure to explore all these cool new areas. I love the detail and all the theming.

Let's revisit my theory about WDW selling off the resort hotels, shall we... ?
The Parlor should capture the essence of the attraction rather than replicating its exact details or worse offer a watered down version of the attraction's gags. Directly lifting from the original creates a redundant experience. The creatives involved should have respected the original, offering a distinct and unique experience that stands on its own merits.

A lot of the effects in the Parlor remind me of effects used at Club33 in DL.
Where is the $6000 drink? Leaving money on the table if they are not offering a premium experience like that. People like to pay for premium things… don’t they? Or is that only applicable in the parks?
Another Wish.

And by “heavily themed”, you mean “beat you over the head every other second that you’re on a Disney ship”, correct? We can thank former Master Ship Builder Bob for that. And really both Bob’s, since one or the other had to sign off on these.

Literally! But it also looks to be much better executed than the original. I was totally ready to be underwhelmed like I was with the original.Where is the $6000 drink?

So far the reality seems to be actually better than the artist renderings. While I'm a fan of marvel. I'm not sure dedicating an entire Disney ship to it was the way to go so I'm not sure how excited I am for the destiny. So I think treasure is going to turn out to be the crown Jewel of the wish class.
Heavily themed is much better then the lack of theming on the old ships.
and they arent actually heavily themed. They are just themed in quite a classy way.
Really impressed with the Haunted Mansion bar, the Star Wars one barely made an effort to be one as if you removed the viewport, it wouldn't really be one. They went above and beyond with this one.
Having been on all 5 currently sailing DCL ships, the older ships are themed in a classy way. The newer ships are more heavily themed to "Disney, Disney, DISNEY!!!". This is indisputable, but you're going to disagree like you always do.
You and I are never, EVER going to agree on DCL or theming, so it's best that you do not engage with my posts.

You know what's funny?
So far thoughts are that this definitely looks a lot better than the Wish. Obviously the layout is the layout for the most part so not much you can do there. Interested in seeing what other differences there will be. I am digging the look of Sarabi. And Skipper Society.
