Disney4me Posted December 12, 2024 Report Share Posted December 12, 2024 Ahoy there! We’re here aboard the NEW Disney Treasure cruise ship and bringing you allll the ship details you could possibly want! ©Disney The latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Treasure, is set to make its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024, but we were invited to set sail aboard the new vessel for the inaugural trip! While we’re here, we’ve had a chance to experience the 1923 restaurant on this ship. You’ll also find 1923 on the Disney Wish, but how did it fare on the newest ship? We found out! We’re experiencing everything and anything the Disney Treasure has to offer, so for all the latest comprehensive coverage and all the info you need to know about sailing on the Disney Cruise Line’s latest addition to its fleet, check out our guide below! Disney Cruise Line — The Disney Treasure Cruise Ship We’re taking an in-depth look at 1923 aboard the Disney Treasure! This is a restaurant with California-inspired food and is named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded. The restaurant is part of the rotational dining experience on the two ships, Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, so you’ll likely dine here for at least one night of your cruise. (Rotational dining means that you’ll enjoy one of three immersive restaurants on the Treasure each night of your cruise.) Now, let’s dive in! Atmosphere All around 1923, you’ll find beautiful works of art as the restaurant celebrates the golden age of animation. Drawings line the walls and even some of the menus. 1923 It’s a timeless restaurant that transports you back to 1923. From the table setting to the decor, you’ll feel like you’re dining at a ritzy establishment in the golden age of Hollywood. Table setting The restaurant is a great testament to Walt Disney and all Disney has accomplished over 100 years. But enough about the aesthetic, let’s dig in! Eats You’ll find a menu featuring appetizers, salads… Appetizers …soups, bread service… Soups and bread service …entrees… Entrees …and lighter notes. Lighter notes The drink menu is extensive, including cocktails, zero-proof drinks, after dinner options, a list of bourbons, and wines. From sparkling wine to whites to reds to dessert wines, there’s something on the menu for everyone. Drink menu Of course, there is also a dessert menu! This menu has some tasty sweet treat options, such as Old Fashion Apple Pie, The Captain’s Table Sundae, Chocolate Lava Cake, and the no-sugar added option of Chocolate Cheesecake. YUM! Dessert menu Okay, enough about what we could eat, and let’s get into what we did eat! We think you’re going to enjoy this. First up, we started with some bread. These are simple little Sourdough Bread rolls — nothing too special — but a nice way to start the meal. We had both butter and olive oil and rosemary to accompany the bread, which was a thoughtful touch. Bread Service After a little bread, we needed something salty. We ordered the Sliced Prosciutto, Coppa, and Soppressata, which comes with Modena Balsamic Grape Tomatoes, a Rosemary Sea Salt Crisp, and Parmesan-Reggiano. We’ll be honest here. This was pretty basic charcuterie. A lot of the things on this plate are the same meats and cheeses you can get at a quick-service spot like Marceline Market, but hey — don’t let that stop you from ordering this! It’s salty and simple, but sometimes, that’s exactly what we’re craving. Sliced Prosciutto, Coppa, Soppressata Appetizer number two came in the form of Double-baked Three Cheese Soufflé, a cheesy concoction of Roquefort, Gruyere, Goats Cheese, and Baby Leaf Spinach. All that cheese sounds like a dream to us (we’re cheese people here at DFB), but overall, it was just okay. The dish was light and fluffy but in a sort of weird way. It was so airy and fluffy that it was almost like a cheese version of a marshmallow. Double-baked Three Cheese Soufflé The good news is that even if you’re not a big fan of spinach, it’s so finely chopped that the flavor isn’t distracting or overwhelming. Each bite gave us plenty of warm, creamy cheese — just what we wanted! YUM! The menu also has a section titled “From The Kettle,” so naturally, we had to see what kind of magic a Disney kettle could produce. We went for the White Onion Soup, made with Comté Cheese, Toasted Caraway Seeds, and French Bread Croutons. First of all, we’re here to say that anything made with Comté Cheese is automatically better. And yes, this was our favorite part of our entire meal in 1923! It was silky smooth and pretty robust flavor-wise. The crunchy croutons were heavenly. The croutons (yes, we’re still talking about the croutons) had the perfect crunch while soaking up the onion soup, and they were slightly garlicky as well. Ugh — this was such a great soup. Bravo, Magic Disney Kettle! White onion soup Alright. Now, let’s get serious. It’s time for the entrees! Before you, you’ll see the Oven-baked Lobster Tail with Sun-dried Tomato Lemon-Pesto Mash, Roasted Asparagus, and Drawn Butter. Unfortunately, this was not the succulent lobster we dreamed it would be; this one was really dry on its own and almost tasteless. Oddly, there was no seasoning. Although the description listed Drawn Butter, ours came with no butter. A server offered to add some brown sugar, but we were really hoping for more flavor and seasoning. Honestly, this was a little tough to eat. Who knows, though! Maybe with a little butter and some spice, this could be improved. Oven-baked Lobster Tail If you’re looking for a safe bet, can a person ever go wrong with the chicken? We ordered the Roasted Green Circle Chicken Breast with Tagliatelle, Grappa, Morel Mushrooms, Tarragon Cream, Green Asparagus, and Parmesan-Reggiano. Good news! The chicken breast here was moist, flavorful, and cooked well. Roasted Green Circle Chicken Breast Additionally, the mushroom sauce was flavorful and really added a rich, earthy taste to the chicken. There were generous chunks of mushroom, and we were able to add parmesan to our liking. This was a great entrée, and we would absolutely order it again. This was excellent! Up next is the Pan-seared Barramundi Filet, served with Fennel, Cannellini Beans, Cerignola Olives, Sweet Pepper, Yukon Gold Potatoes, and a Saffron Broth. The fish was cooked very well and tasted quite fresh. We enjoyed the unique broth as it was extremely savory and gave the fish a nice lightness, which counteracted the strong fish taste — it perfectly mellowed out that salty taste of fish. This was a generous dish with a lot to love! Pan-seared Barramundi Filet If you’re craving pasta, you might want to try the Californian Riesling Risotto with Sweet Green Peas, Fava Beans, Malabar Spinach, and Toasted Pine Nuts. This risotto was super creamy (like any good risotto), but overall lacking in flavor. We loved the idea of the peas and fava beans, but you have to enjoy earthy, simple flavors to enjoy this dish. It just felt like the dish could use a touch more seasoning or garlic to really enhance the flavor. Although the risotto was cooked well, it was just a bit bland. Californian Riesling Risotto We were intrigued by the Seared Pork Tenderloin Medallions, too! This dish comes with Asiago Cheese-Sage Polenta, Rainbow Chard, Pancetta, and a Hard Cider Reduction. Again, the cooking itself was perfect, but we were missing that extra oomph due to a lack of seasoning. The pork was perfectly tender and will practically melt like butter in your mouth. That said, it lacked seasoning, and there was nothing stellar flavor-wise. The pancetta was firm and salty, but it felt like it was a bit out of place in the dish as a whole. Seared Pork Tenderloin Medallions If you’re ordering from the Allergy-Free menu, you might want to avoid the Potato Gnocchi. We’ll keep this brief. This was incredibly bland and sad. There was literally no flavor. The gnocchi felt very dense — too dense for our liking. Nothing on this dish could save it. We know this sounds harsh but trust us. Do yourself a favor and skip this if you can. Potato Gnocchi Finally, we must talk about our experience with the Juniper Marinated Venison Loin. This one features Tupelo Honey Parsnip Puree, Roasted Shallots, Heirloom Carrots, Game Chips, and Napa Valley Port Wine Jus. Unsurprisingly, the venison was a little on the gamey side (and a little overcooked), but the Port Wine Jus added a much-needed injection of flavor. This dish is salty, meaty, and pretty simple overall. If you’re not a fan of earthy, rich meat, you might want to avoid this one. Juniper Marinated Venison Loin Time for dessert! Let’s start with the Chocolate Lava Cake. This was the signature dessert on the menu, and it is ABSOLUTELY the one you should order. It is a molten lava cake, and let’s be honest, at this point, that’s a classic dessert. Sure, the Lava Cake used to be a newer, trendy dessert, but now, it’s a pretty classic treat. This version was super rich with a deep chocolate flavor, decadent dark chocolate, and some ice cream on the side. The vanilla bean ice cream is pretty rich as well, and this is just a luxurious-tasting dessert. Hands down, this is the best dessert on the menu here. Chocolate Lava Cake Fun fact! There is a sundae option at every rotational dining restaurant on the ship, and here, it’s The Captain’s Table Sundae. This is a delight for kids, and while sometimes the sundaes are fun, often it’s more about the LOOK than the taste. This is one that we would pass on. Sure, the sundae itself is cute, but when we’re comparing it to the other desserts on the menu, this one just isn’t as special. The Captain’s Table Sundae Our recommendation for Disney Cruises is to ask your server which night they think has the best sundae. They should have a pretty good opinion and give you a pretty good idea of the sundae lineup so you don’t wind up disappointed. Sundae OK, so the The no-sugar-added desserts in rotational dining are really not something you should overlook if you need to eat sugar-free desserts. In fact, you’re likely going to be really happy with these. We got the Chocolate Cheesecake and found that it was a smooth, high-quality dessert. It’s described as a Baked Cheesecake with a Chocolate Chiffon Spone Base. While we didn’t love this one as much as the Lava Cake, this was still a delightful little dish. It has a mousse-y consistency with lots of layers of cake, and if you like chocolate, this is a great option. Chocolate Cheesecake Next, we ordered the Old Fashioned Apple Pie with Braised Cinnamon Apples and Vanilla Ice Cream. This is a perfectly adequate apple pie. We would compare this one to a typical grocery store bakery apple pie. It is not bad, not fantastic. Just a sweet, cinnamon-y little pie to wrap up a meal. Old Fashioned Apple Pie Finally, on to the last dessert of the night! This is the Californian Grapefruit Cake with Vanilla Butter Cake, Grapefruit Glaze, and Cream Cheese Mousse. Now, if you’ve ever had the Grapefruit Cake at the Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you might feel a little let down by this version. This cake didn’t have enough grapefruit flavor for us and, therefore, was a pretty bland dessert. It was not overly sweet, but it probably lacked some sweetness here, even coming from someone who doesn’t like super-sweet desserts. Californian Grapefruit Cake The sponge was bouncy and light on the cake, and it was pretty, but it didn’t knock our socks off. Nosh or Not You definitely don’t want to miss this experience if… You are looking for a timeless, elegant atmosphere. From the decorations to the warm lighting, this restaurant is cozy and intimate yet classy and refined. This isn’t a Rainforest Cafe-style Disney restaurant, making it a great place for adults. You want a SHOW-STOPPING dessert. We’re still thinking about our Chocolate Lava Cake. While the other desserts were mostly simple and basic, that Lava Cake was powerful enough to boost our overall rating of this restaurant. YUM! If you’re going to skip 1923 on your cruise, it might be because… You’re not in the mood for a long meal. We get it — there’s a lot to see and do on vacation! Not everyone wants to take the time for a longer sit-down meal, and that’s okay. You’re dining with little ones. Sure, there’s a kid’s menu with plenty of safe choices for picky eaters, but if you have little ones with a short attention span and a particular palette, you might be better off at a quick-service spot.
