[Cabo] In the world, there are probably about 340 cruise ships
that qualify as substantial cruise ships.
We're four. We're just four.
But, I mean, we're in almost a category by ourselves.
My dad was in the Navy and that, actually, is very meaningful to me right now.
My dad passed away about six years ago.
And so, the first time that I went to the shipyard and I'm standing there looking up
at our Disney cruise ships being built, I literally had goose bumps.
And I just felt like my dad was on my shoulder.
And I was like, "Dad, you can see this, right?"
My title is Portfolio Creative Executive.
And so, I'm entrusted with the creative development of the cruise ship.
Yeah. How do we get the parents to go down to the kid's area?
Well, this is the guest design type of thing that's going on throughout the ship.
-So you talked about... -[Cabo] Yeah, yeah.
...how these hallways are just so long and how we come...
[Cabo] I work with my team to figure out
what the inside of the ship should look like
and what are the things that we should do on the ship.
I never understood the, kind of, the power of a cruise.
'Cause you're on a ship with people that become your friends
for seven days, 14 days, whatever it is, and you're living it 24-7.
So, I need us to actually look harder at the array of colors
and the palette of materials that we've selected.
Yeah, there's a-- I think there's a real great sense of romanticism,
um, with, kind of, the contrast between the lights and the darks.
How are we gonna inspire that sense of monumentality?
People say, "I had no idea that Disney would have architects
or interior designers or theme lighting designers,"
and then it makes sense once you start to tell them like,
"Well, who do you think designs all these things?" You know?
So, who is this character, if I'm looking at this? Do you guys know?
Because it hit me immediately when I started thinking about it.
I would probably say Merida.
-[man] Yeah. -Absolutely! And we missed it.
So we've got to be tougher on ourselves when we're developing these colors.
First and foremost is, we're representing our stories.
And how do we bring them alive?
So, I have, at least, the fortune
of understanding design, interiors, all of that.
So, that's very helpful on a cruise ship where you're designing
millions of square feet of space, and yet, we need to tie it intimately to our brand,
because that's where we get our position.
That's what makes us different from any other cruise ship out there.
You know, how do we have these, this color scheme, next to this color scheme?
Belle is, you know, in the golds.
Right. So that distinction, like, we have to totally be on top of that.
-[man] Yeah, I agree. -So if we have a space
that represents those specific princesses,
they're all classic, but they're different, right?
On our cruise ship, the characters are there,
and you'll ask your kid, and they'll say,
"Mommy, you know, I played with Spider-Man for two hours today."
You know, "I know Spider-Man."
That's the kind of intensity that we can bring people into.
I see that a lot of our guests do decorate their doors.
But I never thought of it in that light,
that that could actually be something that...
-basically, activates the corridors. -Yeah, that's cool.
It makes them very interesting to go down.
So right now, we got a pool here and pools here, but if we redraw it...
And everything is sort of concentrated right in the middle right now.
-Right there. Yeah. -There's just-- Right in here.
So, you know, maybe we start spreading these pools throughout.
You know? If you have them...
[Cabo] The ships have to do everything for themselves.
So, we have recycling plants.
We're making our own power.
We have paint shops, wood shops, metal shops.
Because if you have to fix something and something breaks, you've gotta get it.
You're not calling out to Home Depot.
So we've got all of this stuff anticipated that we might need to take care of.
It gives me a huge amount of pride for what my dad did, you know, being on ships.
And actually, I remember he would say that he was in charge of a floating city.
Everyone wants their vacation to be the best,
and that's what we're trying to deliver.
