Heidi BucoloAfter exploring every bar onboard Disney Destiny, we’ve compiled the most comprehensive guide available. You’ll find unique venues ranging from themed lounges inspired by Disney Parks attractions and popular Disney villains to quiet adult-only spots. This complete Disney Destiny bars walkthrough includes full menus, drink prices, and insider tips so you know exactly where to go for your perfect drink.
Our Complete Look at All the Disney Destiny Bars With Menus and Drink Prices
When it comes to drinks on Disney Cruise Line, guests can enjoy water, coffee, tea, lemonade, Coca-Cola fountain drinks, some juices, hot chocolate, Vitamin water, iced tea, and milk included in the cruise fare. However, all alcoholic beverages will cost extra.
Unforunately, Disney Cruise Line does not offer traditional drink packages either. So, you may want to budget ahead for a bar tab if you plan on checking out all the signature bars and specialty cocktails on Disney Destiny.
Preludes (Deck 3)
Preludes is located on Deck 3 forward on both sides of the Walt Disney Theatre. This will be your closest spot to grab a drink or some popcorn before the nightly entertainment occurring in this venue. You won’t want to miss the shows on Disney Destiny which include Disney Seas the Adventure, Hercules, and Frozen: A Musical Spectacular. Disney Cruise Line has some of the best production shows at sea!
PRO TIP: If you bring your resuable popcorn bucket from the Disney Parks, you can get refills at a cheaper price ($2 vs. $4). If you buy a popcorn bucket onboard for $9, you’ll also get subsequent refills for just $2.
The Sanctum (Deck 3)
The Sanctum is a new Dr. Strange-themed lounge set to resemble his New York Sanctum complete with a circular mirror behind the bar representing the building’s iconic window. This venue serves up some mystical cocktails like Vapors of Valtor and the electrifying Mirror Dimension alongside a variety of activities during the day and live music in the evenings.
While the cocktails were good, the theming of this space fell short for us. Maybe it’s our lack of Marvel knowledge, but we liked The Bayou on Disney Wish and Skipper Society on Disney Treasure better.
Haunted Mansion Parlor (Deck 3)
Like Disney Treasure, foolish mortals have a place to enjoy some spirits on Disney Destiny. The immaculately detailed Haunted Mansion Parlor brings to life this Disney Parks attraction. Adorned with early 20th-century furniture and the famous wallpaper, the venue’s eerily nautical vibe pairs well with the deliciously chilling drinks from the brand-new specialty cocktail menu.
Be warned, once the clock strikes 13, the parlor comes alive with “mysterious happenings”. These can include singing wall art, a séance with Madame Leota, or other playful spooks materalizing on the digital screen behind the bar.
DeVil’s (Deck 3)
Cruella DeVil has her own lounge on Disney Destiny. How Marvelous! Adorned with black, white, and red decor and even a dalmatian-spotted piano, this intimate bar is quite popular for the live music and the drinks. The cocktails here are just as over-the-top as the diva herself, with drinks like the Fashionista poured from a spotted shaker and served with a side of popcorn to the Perfectly Wretched topped with champagne perfume and a side of lipstick.
Treble-Making with Cruella is a new and very popular experience ocurring in this venue. Starring the fashionista herself along with the ship’s two storytellers, you definitely won’t want to miss it.
Saga (Deck 4)
Centrally located on Deck 4, with balcony seating on Deck 5, Saga is a new entertainment venue on Disney Destiny. Inspired by the architecture of Wakanda, Saga hosts a multitude of activities and entertainment throughout the cruise. This theater transforms from a daytime setting for families into an adult-exclusive space in the evenings. It hosts activities like Match Your Mate game show, the Silent Disco, Villain’s Game Night, Under Her Spell: A Maleficent Encounter, and the new interactive With Great Power! A Marvel Comedy Show.
There’s even a full bar with signature cocktails (an exclusive Elixir Hall menu is featured on the Marvel show evening). The venue also serves popcorn at Saga Snacks to enjoy during one of the movies at the nearby theaters.

Cafe Megara (Deck 4)
Named for the heroine in Hercules, Cafe Megara features a Greek design with the lightning bolts and clouds of Mount Olympus along with other nods to the Muses and Pegasus.
This cafe on Deck 4 is one of the two main specialty coffee venues on Disney Destiny. It serves coffee, tea, espresso-based drinks, pressed juices, cold brew cocktails, wines, Olympian-tinis, and more throughout the day.
Hook’s Barbery (Deck 4)
While technically not a bar, Hook’s Barbery onboard Disney Destiny provides a unique and upscale touch. This venue actually includes a whiskey bar for the gents while getting a salon service or for those who pop in during select hours. Special events and whiskey tastings also occur here.
There is no physical menu, but you can basically create your own smoked old fashioned from the available syrups, spirits, and smoked woods. Just be warned that these drinks can be quite pricey.
Cask & Cannon (Deck 5)
Another venue themed after a Disney Parks attraction, Cask & Cannon is a Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired bar. With nods to the ride in its decor, the mural on the ceiling also depicts a treasure map with seven pirate ships representing the growing DCL fleet. Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a pirate’s life for me!
With a selection of custom craft brews available exclusively aboard Disney Destiny, along with a few cocktails like the Dead Man’s Chest, this is a great casual spot to relax with friends. Guests can watch live sports events and even grab some irresistible bar bites. The food menu, served in the evenings only, features items like potato puffs, chicken wings, and German pretzels at a la carte prices.
Cafe Merida (Deck 5)
Inspired by Brave, Cafe Merida features a Celtic design paying homage to this heroine’s Scottish heritage with unique touches like a tapestry hung on a mounted bow.
On Deck 5, Cafe Merida serves a similar menu to Cafe Megara one deck below, including espresso-based beverages adorned with a little Disney magic, tea, and pressed juices. There are also select “Scotman Specials” that are only found on this menu.
The Lookout (Deck 11)
The Lookout Bar is one of the bars on the Deck 11 pool deck. It’s located nearby the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods quick-service stations.
Much like a typical poolside bar, the Lookout Bar serves a variety of beers and seltzers, wines, and frozen cocktails. It also serves coffee and refreshers. Or, you might want to grab a “Drink of the Day” here while lounging poolside, which are available at the reduced cost of around $7-8.
Pool Bar (Deck 11)
Also located on Deck 11 are two smaller bars, one on the starboard side and one on the portside, with a limited selection of beer and wine. It is also a spot to purchase a Disney Destiny cooler filled with your favorite beverages. You can get it at a discounted rate when you take advantage of the cruise line’s “buy 5, get 1 free” promotions.
Marceline Market Café (Deck 11)
The Marceline Market is the buffet on Disney Destiny located aft on Deck 11. This food hall also features its own bar, the Marceline Market Café. Regardless of when you are dining here, all your favorite drinks are sure to be on the menu.
The menu includes espresso-based beverages, wines, beer, and a variety of other cocktails.
Wheezy’s Freezies (Deck 12)
Located near the Toy Story Splash Zone, you will find Wheezy’s Freezies. This quick-service station serves up a variety of frosty drinks to enjoy. These include smoothies and dole whip. All items at this spot are an up-charge.
The smoothies range from $8-9 and dole whip is $6.50. You can also add a shot of rum to your dole whip for an additional fee.
The Rose (Deck 12)
The Rose is a chic lounge located at the entrance of the specialty restaurants, Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté. This venue is inspired by the fateful flower at the heart of the Beauty and the Beast film, from which the restaurants are also themed.
With tasteful décor, plush seating, and ocean views, this is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner or post-dinner cocktail. The menu features a list of luxurious cocktails, wines, and champagnes. Select bars around the ship also serve a new zero-proof menu.

Cove Café (Deck 13)
Located within the adult-only Quiet Cove on Deck 13 aft, the Cove Café is an indoor lounge serving gourmet coffees, teas, and specialty drinks throughout the day. This is a quiet spot to escape the heat and the kids for a bit of relaxation.
This was our go-to spot for our daily caffeine fix while on Disney Destiny. We also found ourselves here a few afternoons with our laptops catching up on some work.
Cove Bar (Deck 13)
Also located within the Quiet Cove is the Cove Bar. This bar is an open-air watering hole serving beer, wine, and cocktails. This is the perfect adult-only pool bar while lounging in this area which includes an 18+ sundeck, whirlpool, and an infinity pool.
In addition to more traditional cocktails, this bar serves up freshing pop spritzes.
Currents (Deck 14)
We realize that families might not be able to escape their kids for too long. So luckily, the Currents Bar features the same menu as the Cove Bar with many adult beverages (minus the pop spritzes). Currents is located on Deck 14 overlooking the Toy Story Splash Zone. It is also the closet bar to the secluded Chip and Dale’s Pool.
