You guys do realize just how behind on this you are as the Disney Wish is already been sailing for a couple of years now the next ship that is working on making her journey to the U.S. is the treasure
This is a really good documentary on the construction of the Wish. I know Disney paid for it but it doesn’t decrease my enjoyment of watching the documentary. I love behind the scene looks at these large construction projects. It takes years from ship concept to the first sailing with paying passengers.
Odly enough, i had to watch three ads for aida cruising while watching this documentary. As a carpinter myself im absolutely amazed about the Level of craftsmanship put into this ship.
Disney's new cruse ship is inspiration and majestic, just like the great pyramids in ancient Egypt, says the Disney spokesperson in the first minute of this garbage "documentary."
you get the vibe thru all of the documentary, because 90% of the time you only see disney employees and not the workers on the shipyard who actually make it happen in the end
I've seen many of the design choices in ship tour videos and it's delightful to see the faces of the people responsible and how delighted they were in how things turned out. The physical design integrates so much with the experience of the passengers here - the Cinderella chandelier light sequence means that people gather around there waiting for it and it's then more of an event than just a decoration for the area. The theming of the Star Wars and Avenger's areas is great. And it's miles away from the Main Dining Room experience of other cruise lines.
DCL is absolutely a better vacation experience than the parks these days. You feel that “Disney Difference” in the level of service along with the utmost care of the spaces and experiences on-board. The parks have lost that difference. A DCL cruise is like getting into a Time Machine and being transported to WD in the early or mid-90’s. They keep raising the prices at the parks and the value proposition simply isn’t there anymore. We pay more for less these days. If you’re into Disney, your top tier vacation dollar (nothing from Disney comes cheap) is best spent on DCL.
It's been a lifetime of experiences to write, direct, be a Silver Screen Actress for so many adventurous aspects of not just the cruise lines, but, of many prosperous projects, idealistic amenities, businesses, movies, music, and everything else in between my crazy kind of life in a world we live in.
I feel like I’m watching a grand scale sci-fi manga or movie watching them move those pieces of the cruise ship to build it. I’m with the worker looking up and saying, “it’s amazing.”
I love this ........ makes me want to take a cruise to have this experience Congratulations Disney and Disney Wish! Hope that my family and I can experience your delights very soon!
I will never have the money to see this, but thanks for bring it to life for us on RU-vid. This was amazing and enjoyable. What amazing talent throughout the entire process.
I’ve been on a couple of carnival cruises and was thinking surely you could do a Disney cruise at some point. I looked up these cruises and 2k is INSANE.
29:00 Georgeous launch! Paid or not; this is the History, Nat Geo stuff I used to love. Not the BS ancient aliens, bs treasure chases, and reality tv. Good old "how its made" and the OG STEM stuff that creates artists, engineers, technicians, programmers. The media these days is all about creating spenders with debt. We'd be better off as a society generating interest in things like ship building, engineering, and artistic designs.
I was on the Wish for one of her inaugural sailings in January of 2023. She is an absolutely stunning ship and easily my current favorite Disney Ship. I’ve been fortunate and blessed enough to have sailed with Disney 9 times on all 5 of their extraordinary ships. My 2 closest friends and I are very excited to go aboard the Treasure in January of 2025 on only her 5th ever cruise. I’m very sure my 10th Disney Cruise on the Treasure will be my best one yet.
Kinda sad, but I agree. Looks like the cruise line has received all the magic now... I'd rather spend my money to do a cruise than spend a week at WDW.
A very groovy documentary on the building of Disney's WISH ship. Building a Disney cruise ship has to be the most difficult cruise ship to build, because you are not just building a perfect ship for people, you are building a cruise ship built with magic. that special Disney Magic.
@danielvandersall6756 I am afraid that it will become like the History and the Discovery channels. Very little history or discovery but lots of aliens, crystals and ghosts.
Yes, as someone who has extensively researched cruise ship design and construction, especially at this yard, this is an accurate representation of the design and construction process. It is, however, edited to simplify it for a more general audience, and to enhance the features Disney wanted to promote more upon the ship's debut.
In my opinion they should have put Rapunzel on the Disney Dream, because she had a dream not a wish. Yes, her dream/wish did come true, but I think it would have been better if she was put on the Dream and maybe put someone else like Pinocchio and Mr. Geppetto on wish because of the song "wish upon a star" Really, they could have put any character on the back who had a "wish" I still like Rapunzel on the back of wish, and she will always be there.
This is the real engineering, not what I do as a so called software engineer. I'd have seen more about how they welding the parts together, and insert the pre built rooms.
Y’all Disney literally owns National Geographic. They literally didn’t have to put it was a paid advertisement bc they’re literally still the ones paying and getting paid😭😭😭😭
Congratulations you made a floating mall with Disney and marvel themes, wow! It's not like MCU is has been steadily declining since End Game. However, It was incredible to see how you build these float monsters of machines. But still such a waste of time for a few days in a floating mall. I mean come on your life has to be pretty boring if you're gonna spend those kind of dollars just to visit a mall on the ocean.
The reason is the international law requires enough capacity to be provided by both life boats and rafts. The quick pull inflatable life rafts usually take the rest of the capacity and are easier to store more of compared to life boats.
Each one of the life boats can hold 250-300 people, rest assured that between the big life boats and the smaller inflatable life rafts, there is more than adequate capacity for all passengers and crew.
