Disney Destiny Updates: Ship’s Log
The Disney Cruise Line has given us another update to the newest ship, Disney Destiny. Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany as given us another ship’s log for the Disney Destiny, and we are thrilled to hear more about this exciting cruise ship and watch it come to life. The ship’s maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. will be epic but in true Disney fashion we get to here more information on how, what and where the ships stages, information and details are coming to life.
Look below for their official statement.
Guests aboard the Disney Destiny won’t need a magic compass to locate the most swashbuckling pub on the high seas. Cask & Cannon, our brand-new “Pirates of the Caribbean”-inspired lounge, is well underway, and today we’re sharing new design details and sneak peeks… beginning with the latest concept art of the space.
Inside Cask & Cannon
Stepping into Cask & Cannon will feel like entering a true pirate’s tavern filled with trinkets, treasures, and a trove of “Easter eggs” inspired by the iconic Disney Parks attractions.
The pub will be decked out in wooden planks — evoking the interior of a pirate ship — and outfitted with an eclectic mix of mismatched furniture and antiques, presumably pillaged by the pirates themselves. Nautical motifs and pirate iconography will be found throughout, from treasure maps and fishing nets to barrel stools, rum bottles, and skull-and-crossbones insignias.
Eagle-eyed fans will have much to discover in the intricate carvings framing the venue’s portholes that are cast in a charred wood look, a nod to the attractions’ burning village scene, while the most well-traveled buccaneers will spot distinctive lanterns inspired from the namesake attraction in Disneyland Paris. There will even be a few fun nods to the beloved film series, such as the stacked treasure chests that make up the bar front, which take inspiration from the treasure rooms and Captain’s Quarters in the films. Around the corner from the bar will be a set of thirteen drawers filled with treasure maps, each labeled with different scenes representing the global parks and attractions, including The Ghostly Grotto, Port Royale, Talking Skull Bay, Blue Bayou (California), and Treasure Cove (Shanghai).
Cask & Cannon Details
And don’t forget to look up and down in your quest to uncover every design gem. The ceiling of Cask & Cannon will feature a fantastical treasure map of the Caribbean Sea inspired by original artwork by legendary Disney artist and animator Marc Davis.
The drawing has been specially modified for this venue with several new additions, including seven pirate ships that represent the number of ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet with Disney Destiny joining as the seventh. And down below, cleverly woven into the carpet design will be each of the pirate lords’ Pieces of Eight as well as Captain Jack Sparrow’s compass — though whether it points to your heart’s desire is only for you to tell.
