Did you catch the Disney Wish float out a few days ago?

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish, hit the water for the first time as it floated out of the hall where it was constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. This is our first look at the entire ship! It’s gorgeous! So majestic! This major construction milestone was celebrated in true Disney style with fireworks, musical fanfare and a special appearance by Captain Minnie Mouse.

No, unfortunately, this doesn’t mean the ship is ready to sail. It sounds like there’s still testing and interior work that needs to be done. DCL just announced a few weeks ago that the inaugural sailings will be delayed 6 weeks, pushed out til mid July 2022. Check out my blog post on the delay if you want more details.

It’s still exciting to know that the ship construction has reached a major milestone and we are finally able to see it in real life, as opposed to just the artist renderings. It is so beautiful! I can’t wait to see the inside. We will hopefully be sailing on it soon! Crossing fingers!

Let me know if you want me to help you plan your sailings on the Wish or any other cruise.
