DCL Treasure - Pool Deck Woes

[sagosto]

I am looking for a cruise recommendation. The boss didn't like the Disney Treasure's pool deck -- too many small / shallow pools and pushing for an older Fantasy ship. I prefer 7+ day cruises and typically larger ships -- we cruise mainly RCCL and big Oasis/Icon/Quantum fans. I also prefer to book vacations 1-2 years out which makes DCL difficult due to their shorter booking cycle. I assume DCL Wish and Destiny have the same layout? I noticed Fantasy does have some 7 day so that might work I am concerned it's outdated.

Yes, the Wish and Destiny share a layout with the Treasure.

The Fantasy is undergoing a dry dock starting at the end of September, so it should be spiffed up when it returns to the US. It is about the same size as the Treasure, just configured slightly differently.

You are correct, the Wish and Destiny are the same as the Treasure.

I sailed on the Fantasy in February and had no issues with it being outdated then. I also have 4 more cruises booked on it, in the next year and a half, so obviously I like it. With DCL's recent release, You can book over a year and half out now, if that works for you.

Did she like DCL other than the pools because none of the ships are going to be like Royal's Oasis class or Icon. I'd put it on par with Odyssey in terms of size and lack of activities.

The Dream which is same design as Fantasy. There are 7 nights cruises in the Fall 26 Spring 27 recent drop. Goes out of Fort Lauderdale, spending next summer in Europe.

I sort of like the stacked pools on the Wish, Treasure and Destiny because it leaves space for the sun chairs to watch the funnel vision. Just wish the pool upfront on the top of ship was adult only too because the adult only pool in the back is too small.

Fantasy has only one non shallow pool on main deck. No more then wish class. More pools on wish means more likelihood you will get one to yourself.

And yes fantasy is quite outdated. Dry dock isnt fixing that up. Its just making more concierge rooms

Some of us love “Vintage”!

What is outdated about it? I love the Classic ships.

Oh yeah, maybe no backup camera . . .

They probably think the Polynesian and Grand Floridian are outdated too.

Just curious why you spend so much money to cruise on ships you don't like?

After sailing on the new and fancy Treasure, we CAN NOT WAIT to sail on the outdated and old Fantasy again. Already have 5 cruises booked next winter and spring. Also looking at the 10 night and the adjoining 4 night in July.

Shiny and new isn’t always better.
