The Disney Cruise ships are almost
identical, but one difference they share is one restaurant. All of
the above dining experiences can be enjoyed on both ships, now we
will talk about the specialty restaurant of each ship.
Lumiere’s—Located on the Disney Wonder
Designed around the French theme of Beauty and the Beast, Lumiere’s
has ballroom feel to it. One whole wall of this restaurant is
dedicated to a mural right out of the Disney’s animated film. With
such items as Garlic-roasted Beef Tenderloin, Herb-crusted North
Atlantic Prime Fillet of Cod, and Roasted Duck, this continental
cuisine can be enjoyed with flare.
Triton’s—Located on the Disney Magic
Enjoy fine dining that is truly “under the sea” with the spectacular
seafood dishes that Triton’s has to offer. The Art Deco environment
of this restaurant portrays dazzling sea life with service fit for a
king. The menu is very similar to that of Lumiere's but adds a few
lighter items as well.
We’ve covered a lot on the Disney Cruise Line over the last few
months, and now it is time for you to experience on for yourself.
