Favorite Things on Magic over Dream/Fantasy

[jktmom]

We have only been on Dream class ships and are planning our next cruise on a classic ship. What are the best parts/things/food, etc. not found on the Dream class ships?

I love the Fantasy, but what I find missing is the piano bar - so Keys is the thing I enjoy the most when on the Magic. It's a great venue and holds more passengers than Oh La La and is not so exposed like La Piazza. I also love that the adult pool is so much bigger (but I'd take Satellite falls over the bigger pool.) Also, if you sail concierge, the lounge and sun deck have views.

I prefer the classics! The food seems better in the MDR's (maybe because they dont have to make as many plates?), the CM's never seem as rushed as the do on the larger ships so they spend more time with you. The adult pool is much better and 'adult'. On the larger ships the elevator let's out nearby forcing people/kids to walk through to get to the non restrictive areas. The vibe seems more laid back on the classic ships (the vibe, not The Vibe....lol). But, I've been on all 4 ships and really love them all!!!

The adult pool area is much nicer and not on a route that kids and families are likely to take.
I think the Magic has the best dining experience at Rapunzel's and Tangled is the best DCL show. I also love Tangled day when the Thugs are around and O'Gill's becomes the Snuggly Duckling.
I prefer AP on the classic ships as I find the Crush show to be loud. And, it may just be our luck, but on each cruise we have done on the Dream class ships, Crush has managed to send a child sitting at a table near us into hysterics.
The Keys Piano bar is wonderful and spacious. I prefer the layout of Fathoms to Evolution/Tube as all the seats have a great view of the stage.

I like the schwarma station that is available on the pool deck. Also, the kids club has a slide. I prefer the orientation of the treadmills in the gym too.

Too long since we last cruised. I completely forgot about shawarma!

For me, honestly everything is better on the classic ships.

Edited: I thought of an exception: The Aqua Duck is fabulous!

I love both classes but we really missed the shawarma station when we were on the Fantasy!
