Lack of top deck space due to things like the go kart track. Something I have heard consistency for their latest two classes of ships. As I said, not something that would create a hard no for me. I would still like to sail.

Ah, I agree with that totally. It's definitely a drawback, and I'm curious as to why it hasn't been addressed if there has been some consistent feedback about it. Either way, I would also not consider it a hard 'No' and still want to try out NCL.

The Celebrity Edge class ships are my favorite! Gorgeous ships, great food, etc. We usually try to get a sky suite so you have the Retreat added and its definitely a plus for my husband and I.

We plan to.

Much to the internet's chagrin, we booked on the new NCL Prima Class ship Aqua for our next cruise. We booked the Haven. It's not even done being built yet.

I know those ships get (some, also see a lot of great) bad reviews for crowded venues, but we aren't go to shows people, we are got to dinner then just sit at an outside bar (or on deck) with drinks people. We absolutely love the look of the news ships, so bit the bullet and are trying it out.

But we also do want to do Celebrity after that.

I have never heard that complaint, ever.

I've heard some people not like the Magic because it's old, sure. But I've only ever heard the smaller size framed as a positive thing.

Thanks. I tend to hear a smaller comment more than I hear the age. I cruise alot. On Disney alone I have been on 24 cruise totally 127 nights. But I am also very experienced with Royal, Carnival and NCL. I'm surprised You haven't heard comments about the ship being smaller because by today's standards it absolutely is. I personally do not hear too much about it looking aged. Compared to a non-disney ship of its age I believe it's doing very very well.

Just have different experiences. Both are experiences vary. Neither is wrong.

After the recent itinerary release, it looks like the Destiny will be sailing out of Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean. Dream will be returning to Europe in 2026 leaving a gap at the Fort Lauderdale home port. Dream will also stop doing Caribbean cruises (switching to only Bahamian) around November 2025 leading me to believe that Destiny will be delivered around November/December 2025.

I also don't understand having Captain Minnie (?) for both the Treasure and the Destiny. Seems odd.

Maybe she's got some catching up to do?

Also Just curious. Have you been on the fantasy? I find it superior to the Dream

They're basically the same ship. Though I love the Dream, the Fantasy gets the edge on the adult area.

Ooh La La > Pink
The Tube > Evolution (by a long shot)
O'Gills < The original on the Magic (by a long shot)
La Piazza = in a class by itself

The mosaic bathrooms are totally awesome and are tied with the totally awesome Dream atrium chandelier for artistic quality.

I can't swim, so if the pools etc are better, I wouldn't know.

We were seriously debating doing a Disney cruise, but the ship designs seem to have such an inward focus. I realize that there is the top outdoor decks, but everything else seems so closed off. A lot of the new ships in other lines have floor to ceiling windows throughout, a lot of the dining has indoor and outdoor seating, a lot of outdoor spaces besides the pool area and you just are constantly reminded you are on an ocean.

I appreciate the aesthetic Disney gives it's ships and I realize the inward focus is probably preferable to a lot of people, but we decided against Disney cruise line.

That said, the hero/villian theme seems pretty fun.

The only Disney ship where I felt disconnected from.the outdoors is the Wish.

It was actually difficult to.find the doors.to the outdoor.decks, and then when I did, woops, stairs. No laps.for.me on the Wish.

On the Dream and the Magic (the ships I've sailed.most), I would.do two.miles on Deck 4 every morning (and Deck 4 is plenty outdoors, with the added bonus of seeing the guts of the ship on the Magic or Wonder!). No.such luck.on the Wish. Half the doors to the deck have no glass, so you don't even realize they lead outdoors, and my knees don't like a lot of stairs interrupting my laps. And the "walking track" is broken over not two, but three decks!! Wish was one and done for me. No interest in the Treasure, and now sadly the Destiny (Density--can't help.it)

My favorite spot on a Disney ship is Deck 10 on the Magic and Wonder. I love that you can do a complete lap of the ship, entirely outdoors, without going up or down stairs, and without crossing into adults-only areas so you can do it with kids. It's the same lap as Deck 4 but completely open.
