I admit to be running a bit late with most of this news, but better late than never, says I.
The Disney Destiny, the seventh cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, entered service and has set sail on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 20, 2025. Among the new experiences includes Cask and Cannon, a Pirates of the Caribbean lounge which we've previously covered in the original news/details to the "Must-Try Drinks". Rather than continuing, I'll just post what was recently made available online. Enjoy!

Disney Destiny Updates: News from the Heroes and Villains Ship
- (Note: Updates originally posted on September 3, according DPB and The Disney Cruise Line Blog)
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.
New Pirates Merch on the Disney Destiny[]
If spending time in Cask & Cannon has you singing "a pirate's life for me," then you'll want to stock up on this all-new merchandise collection debuting aboard the Disney Destiny. Though we feel it's necessary to note, pillaging is highly discouraged.
This swashbuckling assortment will offer one-of-a-kind bar tools and novelty drinkware (just add rum!) along with swaggering adult apparel, an adventure-ready tote bag for carrying your everyday treasures, and more, while supplies last.

A Thematic Tribute to Disney Parks' Original Pirates[]
A nostalgic salute to the beloved Disney Parks attractions from around the world, this eclectic yet cozy lounge is outfitted with a mismatched collection of "acquired" (AKA pillaged and plundered) furnishings and antiques, presumably procured during the pirates' countless voyages.
From treasure maps and fishing nets to barrel stools, rum bottles, and skull-and-crossbones insignias, nautical motifs and pirate iconography have been thoughtfully integrated into the design. The interior of the venue is decked out in wooden planks — evoking the interior of a sea-worn ship — and a trove of Easter Eggs honor both the highly successful film franchise and the original attractions' famous lore.
The wooden carvings framing the portholes appear to be charred, just like the attractions' burning village scene and distinctive lanterns are reminiscent of the namesake attraction in Disneyland Paris.
There is even a set of 13 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, and Treasure Cove. Meanwhile, the stacked treasure chests that make up the bar front nod to the treasure rooms and Captain's Quarters in the films.
Toasts Inspired by Pirate Lore[]
Evenings of revelry at Cask & Cannon include a menu fit for even the most seasoned swashbucklers, offering rare, specialty, and vintage rums as well as a not-so-secret selection of specially developed "bootlegged" brews.

Videos[]
In addition to the Disney Parks Blog posts above, there are also videos posted on social media.
As covered before with The Beak and Barrel and others, there was some behind the scenes stuff for Cask and Cannon was revealed in Walt Disney Imagineering social media with transcripts. One video, which appears to have only been uploaded on this one post on Instagram, and so far nowhere else. Anywho, this video features a visual look of the above Disney Parks Blog information by producer Sara:
- Sara: Hi, welcome to Cask & Cannon, our pirate-themed pub here on the Disney Destiny. The team had an awesome time pulling inspiration from our Pirates of the Caribbean attractions around the world, and I'm excited to show you some of those hidden treasures. Here on the side of our bar front, you can find 13 draws, and each of them are labeled by the infamous scenes that you find in our Pirates attractions. One of my favorite things about this space are these awesome portholes. The glass is made to look like stained glass, but around each of the portholes, these intricate wood carvings with tons of hidden treasures. You'll see a Jolly Roger, the rum bottles, and our parrot. Be sure to look up at this incredible ceiling and the map that's on it. You'll find seven ships that represent the current seven ships in our Disney Cruise Line fleet. Check out this intricate carpet. But what you can't miss is this huge compass pointing towards what you love the most.

- Pirate voice: Ahoy matey!
- Sara: Good luck finding all the hidden treasures.
In addition, there are of course YouTube videos. If or when something comes up for the next month or so, I will try and update the gallery below, or maybe post it in a potential gallery page.
ETA: I found three videos, courtesy of Attractions Magazine and Sam's Diary. They each had very insightful information from interviewees Benjamin Van Curen, the Disney Cruise Line Beverage Operations Manager, and Beth Burkhardt, the Manager of Interior Design at Walt Disney Imagineering.
Personal commentary[]
Honestly, while visiting Cask and Cannon on a Disney cruise may always be a good time for a sailor or pirate, I think The Beak and Barrel looks the more fun. But still, both experiences seem fine enough. I'm certainly glad the developers are taking advantage of the movie lore, as they should, in my opinion. Although I should point out that, despite the "pirate lords' Pieces of Eight" being hyped up, I don't see them on the carpet design as advertised, but it might be something that isn't in the above photos...?
What say you, Pirates fans? But seriously, regardless of whether or not you're going, what are your thoughts on the latest? Please comment below! And until my next post, which I guess will be the "end of the year" post, I leave you with an underappreciated Happy Thanksgiving to all!
