April 27, 2013 Fantasy - Western

Looks like I may be the first for this one. We booked while onboard 2 weeks ago. This will be our 6th Cruise (3 on Wonder, 2 on Dream) and our first as Gold Castaway members. At this point it will just be DH and I.

We are considering this cruise. May I ask your thoughts on the Wonder, as we have only sailed the Magic.(quite recently, first cruise, we went just the two of us) Is it basically the same ship? Vs. the larger ships. We will be making this a family cruise ("kids" and spouses are all adults ages 21-31). Your input would be appreciated. Thanks

The Wonder and the Magic are basically identical in design. The only thing that differs is the name of some of the restaurants/bars.

The April 27, 2013 cruise is on the Fantasy, which is a whole other story.
It is about twice as large as the Magic/Wonder. We have been on the Dream which is the same size as the Fantasy. There are quite a few differences between the Magic/Wonder and Dream/Fantasy. However on all of the ships, the pools are smaller than what is needed for all of the passangers, which doesn't bother us because we don't use the pools onboard.
There is a different "feel" between the smaller and larger ships, and it takes longer to walk from place to place on the larger ships as would be expected.
But personally I like both the Wonder and Dream and don't have a preference for either one.
