My favorite is the Disney Dream though I've only been on it once. They made a few changes for the Fantasy and I prefer the original. But all four are so, so awesome. I can't wait for the next two.
Are there big differences between the Fantasy and the Dream? I guess it's mainly the theming. We loved the Fantasy, she was an amazing ship and DCL in general was fantastic. Best Disney service ever. Our Cabin:
Don't get me wrong, I love the Fantasy, too (my second favorite). On the Dream they created a little smoking area on the deck outside the adult clubs. I don't smoke, but neither do many other people, so it usually was just a warm quiet place to sit outside and I really loved it. They got rid of it on the Fantasy. Not a big deal at all, but enough for me to give the Dream a slight nod over the Fantasy. Little places to hang out and do nothing are very important to me on a cruise. Here's a pic of my mom sitting in the area:
Thanks! Where is the smoking area located onboard the Dream? I always thought that smoking was permitted in the outside area of the Meridian Bar.
This is outside the adult area on the deck, Deck 4, I believe. Below are the smoking areas (at least they were in 2013): Deck 4 port side, aft, the outside Promenade Deck from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Deck 12 port side, aft, the outdoor area that is accessible through the Meridian Lounge Deck 13 port side, forward, by Currents Bar So this would've been the first on that list.
