Which one would you choose?

Longest. 6 night Fantasy. Doesn’t matter where it’s going.

If your main reason for picking the Wish is to just see what its like...don't. You need a better reason or on the last day your going to be saying "we should have done the Fantasy. We could have had more nights."
We had a similar choice. Always had family but in Oct went on Fantasy by ourselves. It was a good choice. Magic would have been good also.

We were just on Magic for the first time and I loved it. The Rapunzel dinner show was great! I was in the adult pool several times and really enjoyed it. The pool feels large and is 5' deep. (Though I've been on Dream & Fantasy, I can't really compare the adult areas, since my kids were younger then and I didn't make much use of the adult only areas on those). Though I would rather have longer trips, I think I would choose Magic in your case, just to experience it. I think it would also be really nice to experience CC with the smaller numbers that Magic has (our recent itinerary didn't go there).

I'd say the magic or the fantasty. Personally, I REALLY want to do a double dip BUT I also think Cozumel is my favorite port I've been to.

Since you mention you've been to all the ports for these, for me I'd really sit down and determine which was your favorite port and go from there. I made a post recently about which ship people prefer and the top two choices were the magic and the fantasy. Ironically the Wish ranked the lowest. Most people who are not first time DCLers are not a fan unless you're concierge.

wait on the wish to keep working its life out.

So, here is my hottake.
If you love and dream about castaway like I do, then I absolutely recommend the magic with the double dip. I would skip the nassua day, and use that to have more time on the ship, and try to get a brunch on nassua day.
Spend one day at CC in serenity bay and the other at the family beach, enjoying pelican plunge ect.

I also could get down with the fantasy 6 night, because its more days so there will be more things in the adult areas for you to enjoy.

I would go with the longer cruise!

The Fantasy for sure.

I would like my husband and I to go on a cruise just the two of us this fall. We have been on 5 cruises but all on the Dream/Fantasy and all but one have been with our kids (one who has special needs and can't do the kids club so we only got time to ourselves on the one cruise we did alone). Anyway what would you choose? we would like to try a different ship but Port Canaveral is definitely more convenient for us. Also these three are pretty similar in price give or take a few hundred

4 night on the wish
5 night on the magic with 2 stops at castaway
6 night on the fantasy

I know we wont ever go on the wish with our kids because of cost per night so this would be our chance to see it, but seems crazy to do 4 nights for the same cost as 5 or 6. I hear mixed reviews about the Magic. Which of these would have the best for adults? we have done palo brunch and dinner once and I would like to do them again or maybe another restaurant but heard the adult only restaurants can be hard to get into on the Wish. Thoughts? I know I always here more nights is better but is it worth doing less nights to see a different ship?

thank you!

6 nights on the Fantasy unless you absolutely love Castaway.

Edited once I read the entire thread:

Slight nod to the 6 night Fantasy. 1 night longer and more variety in ports. Plus, for those Bahamas cruises, Nassau isn't the best sometimes.

A double dip would be awesome and it would still be a great choice. But if I could swing the 6 night, I'd go for that.

The Wish hasn't really impressed me, so I'm putting that as a clear #3.

We prefer longer cruises, but we also love the smaller ships. I would guess your choice also will depend on how much you enjoy Castaway Cay.

It’s been a month, did you come closer to deciding?

If you haven’t - I would say if you could only do one more cruise in your life, which would you pick?
