Disney Treasure, DCL’s 6th ship, debuts in 2024

[Rlandrigan]

Doesn't DCL's agreement with Port Canaveral include guarantees that new ships will be homeported there?

All the new ships are LNG fueled, which means they'll need the facilities at Port Canaveral, so yes

 

[ChuckElias]

I may be reading this wrong but there are many DCL itineraries that stop at Castaway but not anywhere else in the Bahamas...

Correct. The 7-day itineraries almost never stop in Nassau. Usually only the 3-4 day cash cows.

Yes, sorry. I was talking about the 3/4 nights.

Isn't Disney getting purpose-built facilities in Fort Lauderdale for just this reason?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Aren't there already 2-stop Castaway Cay itineraries? A CC/LP itinerary makes sense to me.

Very few. There were a ton during COVID (I think because Key West stopped accepting cruise ships) but only 6 schedule for 2023.

I did two this year and it's basically the greatest thing ever.

We did the DVC cruise in 2018 for 5 nights with two stops at CC and no Nassau. It was great!!

Ours were two CC but also still had Nassau. But Nassau was being so strict with what unvaccinated kids under 5 were allowed to do so we just stayed on the ship.

Port Everglades has the ability to fuel LNG. Cruise terminal 4 has facilities that can handle all of Disney’s ships.

Shoulda went nuclear.

I am much more excited about the adventure theme/decor of this one than I am the princess theme of the Disney Wish. Very glad they are mixing it up.

This and the 3rd ship have more of interesting themes (to me). But we shall see execution.

Bonus: I'll never have to fly to Miami again.

Did they say the theme of the 3rd?

 

[raymusiccity]

It was kinda a joke...just saying a lot of people use the Nassau stop as a "sea day."

I think there's a fair amount of people that enjoy walking over to the 'Straw Market' and get a positive feeling of having visited another 'country'.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Any news on a target time frame for this to sail?

May 2024? Seems way too soon.

Ah.

I’m guessing Disney will be lucky to have this sailing by Christmas 2024.

 

[SplashJacket]

They had a hull block sail into Meyer Werft months ago for the treasure.

It will be well after May. It will be the very very end of 2024.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I think Disney increase the fleet to 12-16 and fast! Let me know when that happens
