Least Crowded--Dream or Wonder?

[CutiePooh]

Hi. I'm trying to figure out which cruise to book the week before Easter. Both cruises are leaving out of Port Canaveral a day apart on the same itinerary.

This year we went on the Dream during Easter Break and it was pretty crowded. I know the Wonder is smaller but do you think it will be less crowded?

Fewer people on the wonder. If you are adults it's easier to hide in the adult section too.

If it is going to Castaway Cay, it will be far less crowded with the Wonder because of how many fewer people fit on the ship.

If you're going to CC, there will be a lot less people there on the Wonder cruise. We last cruised on the Wonder 3 years ago and on the Fantasy this past Jan. Our cruise on the Wonder was an Alaskan cruise and we didn't spend any time at the pools, so can't compare that for you. The theaters are smaller on the Wonder, no balcony, but I didn't feel crowded in them. Restaurants felt the same on both ships. If you go on the Wonder how will you feel about no Aquaduck or Mid-ship Detective Agency? We will be cruising on the Wonder again next March, I can't wait to get back on her and see all the new updates, especially looking forward to Tiana's Place .

Great. Thanks for everyone's input. Both cruises do go to Castaway Cay.

Sounds like the Wonder will be the winner. I don't really care about there not being an Aquaduck or Mid-Ship Agency. We barely got to enjoy either one with the Dream's crowds so my daughter wont know the difference. As long as the pool and the little water slide crowds are manageable, she'll be happy.

Wonder holds 2000 people
Dream 40000

I would always choose the Magic class ships over the Dream class ships any day especially if the itinerary is the same. Crowds are smaller on the Magic class, and service and food was better as well.
