Disney Destiny Cruise: Black Joy, Representation & Why This Disney Experience Hit Different

What happens when a Disney cruise feels intentional, not just entertaining? In this episode of That Twin Mama Podcast, Lauren Berty reflects on her experience aboard Disney Destiny, a Disney Cruise Line sailing that surprised her in the best way. This isn’t a traditional Disney cruise review — it’s a conversation about Black joy, Black excellence, representation, and motherhood, and what it means when culture is thoughtfully embedded into an experience from the very beginning. From the entertainment and music to the design, storytelling, and service, Disney Destiny stood out for the way Black culture and voices were centered — not as a theme night or special moment, but as part of the ship’s soul. Lauren is joined by Yolanda Cade, Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs for Disney Signature Experiences, and Corey J. Bradford, the actor portraying Hercules aboard Disney Destiny, to explore how inclusive storytelling creates spaces where Black families feel seen — while making the experience richer for everyone on board.
