Overview
- The 6,700‑passenger vessel began its maiden three‑ and four‑night voyages from Singapore on March 10, marking Disney Cruise Line’s first homeport in Asia.
- The planned “Captain Jack Sparrow & The Siren Queen” stage show was dropped from the entertainment lineup before launch with no official explanation, and reporting indicates no plans to stage it later.
- During a press preview sailing, app‑only timeslots for character greetings and onboard shopping filled almost instantly, leaving many guests shut out as long lines formed at Guest Services and Disney offered no public response.
- A new Imagineering episode details onboard tech including a 5.5‑million‑pixel Garden Stage LED, 2,400 hidden speakers with directional audio, a 3D rigging system for flying performers, and a Lion King fireworks show running about 12 minutes with 650 effects.
- Disney acquired the partially built ship in 2022 for a reported $40 million and invested about $1.8 billion to refit it into seven themed districts such as Marvel Landing, San Fransokyo Street, Toy Story Place, and the central Disney Imagination Garden.
