Creator's Key Takeaways
They're not quite the same experience right now. And that matters when you're spending real money on a Disney cruise.
Fantasy is a great ship because it's going to be a lot cheaper than all those wish class sailings
The Dream is leaving out of Fort Lauderdale, which is a little bit different vibe logistically, bigger airport, kind of a different crowd
The pizza is exactly the same. Here's the thing. It's not good, but I still have it every day of the Disney cruise.
