I had an absolute blast on the Disney Treasure! It's quickly become one of my favorite Disney ships. As always, the service was top-notch, the shows truly enchanting, and the fireworks at sea were a delightful highlight! The Pirates in the Caribbean deck party was exhilarating, the food was delicious, and the rooms were incredibly comfortable — plus, there were so many magical surprises throughout the trip! I loved the stunning Agrabah decorations in the atrium and the unique entertainment offerings like the Haunted Mansion Parlor and the family fun at Sarabi Lounge. Dining at Coco was an unforgettable experience too! Everything tied together perfectly to create an adventure like no other!
