Which would you pick - Adults Only

[Disneyworldlocal]

Hi DCL Lovers.

I am working on a surprise cruise for my wife. In attendance will be me and my wife (mid 50's) our daughters (23 and 17) as well as my sister in law (late 50')s.
My Wife and I have been on the Dream, Fantasy, and Wish. We are doing the Magic 5 night 8-31-25
Daughters and Sister in Law have never done a Disney Cruise. 23 year old has been on two x 3 night RC Cruises. Both went to Perfect Day.
17 year old has never cruised. My Sister In law hasn't been on a cruise in 15 years.
Disney Wish 4 night - Castaway Cay and Nassau
Disney Magic 4 night - Lighthouse Point and Nassau.
None of us are drinkers and if we went to any of the bar spaces it would only be to check out Hyperspace Lounge (for our 23 year old) and do trivia, etc..
Daughters both love Tangled, Frozen, Little Mermaid (at least I think they still do LOL) None of us know much about Marvel except me.
Looking for ideas really more focused on their backgrounds of minimal or no cruise experience (especially lack of DCL experience) and what would your thoughts be towards which would be the best adult experience for these two ships / itineraries

Pricing is basically the same when you factor in travel (we live in Orlando and would Brightline to Fort Lauderdale and drive to Port Canaveral

In your situation, I'd book the Magic. Not that the Wish is bad but it could be overwhelming for less experienced cruisers.

Having said that, we much prefer Castaway Cay to Lighthouse Point.

When are you planning on going?

I'd go on Magic. Rapunzel's Royal Table, smaller ship so smaller crowds on the island, and nicer adult pool area (from what I understand, haven't been on Wish).

I would choose the Wish! Beautiful ship that definitely WOWs first time cruisers! Also, missing Castaway? Absolutely not! Have the best time together!

Magic because it means Lookout Cay will have far fewer guests (and that is important at Lookout in particular). We also do not know if after the Magic goes west in April 2026 if she will ever make her way back on to the East coast and have a chance to experience Lookout with her smaller guest count.

The Wish is lovely but she will be in FL for the forseeable future. The Magic has one of the best adult pools on any DCL ship IMO and its a great way to get their feet wet with DCL before putting them on a ship with so many more people and since they are not Marvel fans- Marvel dining on the Wish will mean nothing to them.
