Wonder pool vs Dream pool

[cdunn03]

HI everyone!
We sailed on the Dream last year and in Feb we are sailing on the Wonder. Does anyone know if the Wonder has the same size family pool as the Dream? I am hoping that the Wonder has a bigger family pool!!!

I hope so as well!

The Donald pool vs. the Goofy pool?

I don't think anyone on here has actually measured them, but report's kinda say they are the same size (ish), and a couple of other report's say the Donald pool is bigger (but still small), so with the Classic ship's being smaller and having less Guest's, that they are less crowded, less kid's per square foot if you like!

"Big" is not a word that I would ever use in the same sentence as the Goofy pool on the Wonder or Magic -- except for this one. The design also makes is seem smaller. It is not level with the deck, but the water level is actually below the deck more than a foot would be my guess so in order to see the water you have to walk up the steps around it to the edge and look down.

Pools on cruise ships will always be recessed...and never can be very big because they have to recessed to catch any sloshing water in rough seas. They certainly could have put more pools on the Dream and Fantasy, but the depth of the recess increases with the size of the pool, and I'm not sure folks would want to walk down a flight of stairs to the water.

The Fantasy has additional pool's/bathing area's over what is offered on the Dream:

And one supposed to be just above Quite Cove against the Forward Funnel.

Also to add, I hope they have thought this through, and it is one of the receiver dishes and not a transmitter dish!
