Disney Dream 7194 aft veranda or 8188

[elenainmysticfalls]

Hi everyone! Taking our first Disney cruise next year and while I've searched all over I cannot find any balcony pictures of 7194 aft. It seems like its so elusive compared to 8188 and the other aft decks. I have seen pictures of it from the Fantasy and I guess my question is-will balcony 7194 on the Dream be exactly like balcony 7194 on the Fantasy-same size? Also-if you had to pick-would you pick 7194 or 8188 and why? THANK YOU!

I'd pick 8188. That's just me though.

8188 is my dream cabin. Perfect placement, IMO. Someday...

 

[elenainmysticfalls]

Thank you Moremouse! is that the Dream or the Fantasy?

 

[elenainmysticfalls]

Ok! Why would you guys pick 8188 over 7194?

Thank you Moremouse! is that the Dream or the Fantasy?

Both, and you're welcome.

This is 7194 on the Fantasy. We loved it so much. That being said, we have 8188 booked for October.

Thank you Kingdom Hearts Fan! Will it be exactly the same on the Dream? What made you pick 8188 for your next cruise?

One thing to add to cabin 7690. It has a PERFECT view of Castaway! Yucky weather, but the view was awesome. First pic was just a normal view each day that I couldn't help sharing.

yahoo! Can't wait! OK-going with 7194!

Yes, the Dream and the Fantasy are sister ships, and their room layouts are exactly the same. The only reason we picked 8188 this time, is because 7194 wasn't available when we booked. The balcony in 8188 looks to be only slightly larger than 7194. As you can see in the picture above, you do get a bit of the flagpole in the middle of your view from 7194 as well. It wasn't a problem or anything, but it was there.

Thank you! I went with 7194, early May. We have been on many cruises on Carnival and can't wait to see the difference!

Take good care of it, because we'll be selling in the afternoon you leave it.

We've stayed in 8188 3 times prior - it's the only cabin we've stayed in (one dream, twice fantasy). For us, we think deck 8 is ideal. Some people find 10 noisy with cabanas, 7 and lower starts to see a little of the flag. On 8,deck 11 is just 3 stair decks up and 4 is just 4 down - we consider 8 right in the middle of the decks we tend to visit most often.

Whoops - thought I read 2016. We're in 8188 on the 19th - 3.5 weeks to go.
