Placeholder Discount Increased to 30% Off Select Sailings

Yes, the Fantasy is more suited for adults. Did they reduce the pool deck for adults? Ughh.

Satellite falls area has been reduced. Its the secondary adults pool area where you dip your feet in water. Some people rave about it but we never used it. The main adults pool area is unchanged. Although that gets quite busy so need to get there early or late to enjoy properly.

We have a placeholder for two staterooms we purchased in Sept, I am excited to see what the itineraries are. While poking around the DCL site I noticed that they had also expanded the 30% off guaranteed stateroom offerings and was able to rebook an upcoming cruise for a week earlier which saved us $800. I didn't think we would ever see this for sailings out of San Diego, but the one for Mar 2-6 2026 is ~$2,300 for a VGT, that's a great deal.

I’ve been on the Dream since they took part of Satellite Falls for the concierge area and honestly I didn’t really notice they’d reduced the space, apart from the barriers.

I am concerned about the vibration issues. Absolutely. But what do you mean that the Dream was too on trend when it opened?

Just makesure you dont have a cabin in the aft on the fantasy. If you do you wont sleep well. Otherwise you wont notice it much except in the theatre. Some of the acts on our ship tried to make fun of the vibration as it was crazy in the theatre at times.

If the Wish prices was more in line, like the Dream were when it was first launched, Disney wouldn't be having to discount the crap out of it, right?

I don't think we can compare 2024 or current Wish pricing with 2011 Dream pricing. DCL pricing has literally skyrocketed for all ships in the past 10-15 years. It has far out-paced inflation or what others do as regular annual increases, even before Covid this was true.

Yeah, but there was a large jump when the Wish replaced the Dream.

Same. Honestly most of the changes had very little impact on most guests. The one that did? The funnel space being taken from Edge and Vibe being cut up to make space for them. I know a few parents who do not want their tweens in a club so close to the teens. The separation and distance is important to some families (especially those who are still unhappy that the Kids Club no longer goes till 12)

Most of the adult areas - Pink, Skyline Lounge, etc. feel very dated. and to me the design choices embody the design choices of that time...
