A day at sea on Disney Destiny doesn’t start with an alarm clock—it starts with coffee, churro waffles, and deciding how many times “unlimited ice cream” is an acceptable breakfast-adjacent choice. From pool deck movies and character dance parties to room service on the balcony and a full night of entertainment, this was one of those days that reminds you why sea days are often the best days of a Disney cruise.
