The Disney Destiny feels different. After five days onboard, we’re asking whether its character-driven experiences are the future of Disney cruising—and why its best moments left us wanting even more.

We compare our Destiny and Disney Wish experiences, share what made De Vil’s, the storytellers and Hercules stand out, and get into the scheduling frustrations and Worlds of Marvel disappointment that kept the trip from feeling perfect.

Plus: could Disney bring more of this interactive storytelling into the parks?
