Hey friends! We’re setting sail aboard the NEW Disney Treasure cruise ship and bringing you all the ship details you could possibly want!
The latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Treasure is set to make its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024, but we were invited to set sail a bit early aboard the new vessel! We’ve been exploring the whole ship, but now, it’s time for dinner at Worlds of Marvel!
We’re experiencing everything and anything the Disney Treasure has to offer, so for all the latest comprehensive coverage and all the info you need to know about sailing on the Disney Cruise Line’s latest addition to its fleet, check out our guide below!
Disney Cruise Line — The Disney Treasure Cruise Ship
Atmosphere
At Worlds of Marvel, you’ll experience something called “Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix.” Because the Disney Treasure features longer sailings, folks will actually dine at Worlds of Marvel twice, and it’s on the second night that passengers will experience this show. The first night at Worlds of Marvel features the “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” show you can find on the Disney Wish as well.
You’ll feel like you’re entering another world (of Marvel?!) as you make your way through the tunnel and into the “Avengers Technology Showcase,” where the latest innovations are presented during your dinner.
The restaurant itself is pretty large, but it’s divided up into sections so it still feels rather intimate.
Blue lights and chrome are everywhere the eye can see, and it does feel like you’re in a super high-tech restaurant! The tables are larger, and depending on your party size you may be seated with other groups. At each table setting, you’ll find a pretty charger plate with the Avengers symbol.
Also at every table, you’ll find a Quantum Core. In some parts during dinner, the Quantum Cores will light up and make sound effects. They can even sync their lighting across the tables.
Also throughout the restaurant, you’ll find over 100 monitors that come to life with iconic Marvel characters — including the Guardians of the Galaxy!
But, what do they serve to eat and drink at Worlds of Marvel?!
Menu
You’ll find a variety of cuisines available on the menu here, which means there’s likely something for everyone! There are a few different appetizers, salads, soups, and bread service…
…along with plenty of entrées, lighter fare, and desserts, too.
And, of course, there is also a selection of soft drinks, coffee, tea, cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine available at Worlds of Marvel, too.
So, how does the food taste when it’s prepared by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Okay, we’re pretty sure the Guardians of the Galaxy don’t actually make your food here, but hey, you never know.
Eats
Like any decent Disney restaurant, we kicked things off with the bread service. This was a six-grain country bread with caramelized onion dipping sauce. We enjoyed this bread — it had a chewy crust with a soft inside. The caramelized onion dipping sauce didn’t taste caramelized or oniony to us — it was an orange color and creamy. Honestly, we’re not entirely sure we were served the right thing. If you’re iffy about the dipping sauce with your bread service on DCL you can always request butter if they don’t automatically bring it to your table.
We tried the White Cheddar and Broccolini Soup, as recommended by our server. It is a really nice, silky, and creamy texture but it’s not too heavy at all. It’s sufficiently cheesy and you can taste that broccolini in there. It kind of makes you feel like you’re eating healthy because you’ve got something green on your plate. This was good as an appetizer and if you’re planning on ordering soup — this is a great option.
We also grabbed the Ahi Tuna Poke, which ended up being our favorite appetizer. It was very fresh tasting and very flavorful. It had a lot of ginger and cilantro — those were the prominent flavors and the tuna itself was super fresh.
The Heirloom Tomato Caprese was served absolutely swimming in aged balsamic dressing, but we weren’t mad about it. It was pretty much exactly what you expect from a Caprese salad. If you’re a fan of them in general, you’ll like this version!
The Porcini Sachetti appetizer was decadent and lovely. If you think these remind you of the pets that are served in the Animator’s Palette on the other Disney Cruise Line ships, you would be right — they are the same shapes, and the flavors are reminiscent as well. The pasta that is on the other ships has black truffles shaved on it and you’re not going to get that same flavor here from the porcini mushrooms. But, these are served with a cream sauce and the porcini mushroom and they are very delicious. They are soft, the pasta is cooked well, and they have the right amount of chew to them.
The Mongolian Chicken Satay appetizer was served as a kabob over rice with a few accompaniments like veggies and peanut sauce. Overall, it was something we would try again! The chicken was well cooked but not dry and glazed with a sweet sauce. The peanut sauce was on the side for dipping or drizzling over the kabob and there was a small cup of cut-up red peppers and zucchini on the side. Our only complaint about this was that the white rice was overcooked so it was extremely soft and gummy.
The Roasted Peri Peri Chicken was the first entrée we tried and it was totally something we would get again. The meat was tender and the skin was well marinated and crispy. It sat in a shallow bed of peri peri sauce that, unfortunately, had almost no heat to it and tasted more like a tomato paste. There’s a toasted lime served on the side to add extra flavor which we loved squeezed over the chicken and the sweet potato and green beans on the side for extra flavor.
We also tried the Tamari and Honey Glazed Salmon Filet with soba noodles, baby bok choy, lime, and toasted sesame seeds. The glaze on this salmon was sweet and delicious, and it made the salmon the best thing on the plate. There were A LOT of noodles on the plate and they were bland and would have benefitted from more of a sauce — they were tossed in some teriyaki but it did not coat the noodles completely, or they had soaked up the sauce when it got to our table — which is possible in a banquet food setting.
The Linguini Nero is made with garlic shrimp, Malabar spinach, roasted grape tomatoes, and parmesan reggiano. This was a standout among the entrées here. It had more flavor than our other dishes. We were surprised the pasta was black when it arrived but we were just not very observant because Nero means black in Italian! The shrimp was slightly overcooked but did not take away from our enjoyment and we appreciated the copious amount of cheese this dish was served with.
As a plant-based option, we tried the Wild Mushroom Sweet Onion Strudel. This was the shocker of the night. Several of our reporters tasted this vegetarian dish and really enjoyed it — even those of us who don’t like tofu. The flavors were well balanced here between the earthy mushroom, the sweetness of the onion, and the creamy tofu. The phyllo pastry remained crisp and the basil dressing on the plate added a nice freshness. We don’t think you have to be a super adventurous eater to try this, and a cruise ship is a safe spot to take a chance — your server can bring you a different entree if you really don’t like it — or you can always find something else to eat elsewhere later or order up some chicken tendies to your room!
For something a little meatier, we decided to order the Beef Wellington — which was FINE. Beef Wellington is generally a safe bet because it is baked and hard to mess up. This version was good — the meat was of good quality and the pastry was cooked well. The mushroom duxelle did not have much flavor — we wish it would have added more earthiness to the dish. The potatoes served on the side were solid, but nothing earth-shattering. This is a good safe dish for a meat and potatoes eater.
And now, onto desserts! The Double Blueberry Cheesecake has a blueberry cheesecake “bubble” glazed in blueberry sauce, atop a lemon shortbread crust. We detected no lemon in the crust, but this was a good dessert for cheesecake fans.
Next, we tried the Celebration Cake and oh my gosh this was so good. It is what our server recommended. It was a layer of baked cheesecake, topped with a layer of pastry cream, and that pastry cream made the whole dessert. We thought of it as a very elevated strawberry shortcake. We would have ordered 3 pieces of this if we didn’t have more desserts to try — and you can do that. You can ask for additional dessert and your server will oblige unless they are out.
The Cappuccino Mousse was up next. One feature of Disney Cruise’s rotational dining menus is no-sugar-added desserts. You will find one on every menu, and they are usually surprisingly good. This one is very good and we would recommend if you like coffee and raspberry flavors — even if you aren’t avoiding added sugars. The mousse is light and has more coffee flavor than chocolate flavor. And the raspberry filling is delish.
Finally, we tried the Chocolate Decadence. This was bitter chocolate cream, truffle cream, and chocolate sauce. We sometimes feel like things aren’t decadent enough to have that in the name, but this was decadent. It was quite delicious and if you are a chocolate fan, this is what you should order for dessert at this restaurant for sure. There are better chocolate desserts on board — like the lava cake at 1923, but this one is great.
MAN! That’s a lot of food. So, what did we get to drink?!
Drinks
There are PLENTY of exciting-sounding drinks on this menu, but we opted for a flight: the Wakanda Tasting Lab. It’s “A taste of cocktails developed by Wakanda Design Group mixologists, using ingredients cultivated on Mount Bashenga.” The cocktails are made with Starr Rum 7 Yrs, Vusa Vodka, and Bayab Gin and each one was fruity and delicious!
Alright, what do we ACTUALLY think of Worlds of Marvel on the Disney Treasure?
Overall
Worlds of Marvel is such a fun experience even if you’re not the biggest fan, and we loved the new Groot show! The food you’ll find here is hit or miss depending on what you order, but we loved the Mushroom Strudel, the Peri Peri Chicken, the Porcini Sachetti, and too many desserts to count. Plus, those drinks were out of this world!
