Hi all,
We are looking at booking a trip in the Fall of 2023, my wife and I with one 4-year-old and two 1-year-olds. We live in NJ.
We're first-time Disney cruisers and are hoping on booking the Halloween Bermuda itinerary.
The decision is between: easy 2-hour drive to NY port and easy drive back to cruise on the Dream, VERSUS making our way to Florida via either a long drive in our van vs a flight with lap babies and a 4-year-old to cruise on the Wish.
This constitutes a whole lot of logistical difficulty and expense to allow us to go on the Wish.
We'd have been awfully excited about the Dream until I've recently watched some tour videos on YouTube and honestly have found the Wish to look like an absolute night-and-day difference in niceness / detail / decor / room theming etc. So if we're spending ~5k on a cruise it could be worth it to travel for the experience we really want. That said, all I can really say about that experience is what I've seen in reviews and on YouTube. On the other hand the inconvenience when we could just hop instead on a nice-enough boat in NY might be crazy.
Anyone feel like I'm overhyping the benefits of the Wish? Anyone traveled on both?
Thanks!
