Fantasy to go to Europe?

[dina444444]

So it's not a big difference, right? They're just switching which ship sails in Europe, no?

Correct. And this likely has to do with where they want to dry dock these ships for their first big dry docks.

What kind of re-imagining? Making them more like the Wish class?

Restaurant re-themed has been highly suggested... especially for Enchanted Garden... Could be more significant... but doubtful it would be the full "Wish class treatment"... but it could indeed borrow a few ideas/concepts.

I saw somewhere (probably FB) that showed the Fantasy showing up on the schedule for one of the Greek ports for summer 2025.

It seems all but official that the Fantasy will be going to Europe.

I had always assumed she would eventually be the new European summer ship anyway given the theming of the bar district.

Yes the Fantasy is showing up on the port schedule for Athens in 2025.

That’s what I’m afraid of with the Fantasy. That would mean once again no NYC season for 2025 like 2024 I hope they eventually return to NYC

I honestly feel they will be back in Fall 2025

So where is the Dream going?

Likely sailing out of port Everglades for the summer.

Same. We just went on 10/31 and honestly it might have been my favorite cruise thus far. Just a 4 hr car ride from DC so much better than sitting in stupid Orlando airport for 5 hours and paying 1600 dollars for the privilege to do so.

We snagged 6pm Remy for sail away night so we got a dusk to dark NYC skyline dinner....was magical. Top 3 dinners I've had in my life (and I've dined at Alinea a few times). We dressed up every single night in something different (if you were on this cruise my son was the balloon animal dog - IYKYK) and it was just so relaxing. My husband and I said we would do NYC literally every single year going forward. It was a last minute VGT booking in Sept for us - we got off the dream in August for the Norway Fjord cruise and honestly it wasn't relaxing at all. So many things went wrong and the crowd on the ship was a S** show ......this was so, so much better.

We won't be cruising Disney in Europe again. They dont have the relationships with the ports or the port adventures companies so DCL is not a priority like it is in the Caribbean and candidly I wasn't a fan of the crowding or the people on the ship themselves attitude wise (which I believe there have been several threads about).

We're on the treasure Jan 2025 and planning Alaska May 2026 but I think we will be on another last min NYC Oct 2025 if the opportunity presents itself.

If you look at what Disney has already released, the Dream is in Fort Lauderdale pretty late into May 2025, so that would tell me that the Dream is sailing her traditional Bahamas and Caribbean routes in Summer 2025.

Oh no, I hadn't heard this! We'll be on the
Dream in the Mediterranean next May, first time doing DCL in Europe. But it's a DVC Member Cruise, hopefully that means that at least the crowd behavior will be better.

ETA: were thinking of doing Norwegian fjords or Greek Isles at some point in the future with DCL but now will have to read some reviews!

We did the first Dream Med cruise this year and it was a wonderful cruise. No issues with ports or other cruisers.

We were on the Dream in August for the 11 night northern Europe cruise and also had zero issues with ports, excursions or fellow passengers. The cruise was fantastic!

We have done multiple cruises around Europe with Disney. Have loved them all!
