Creator's Key Takeaways

They're sister ships. They look the same. They have a similar size, similar layout. They're not quite the same experience right now

First Disney cruise, family with younger kids, you just want to dip your toe into the Disney cruise world and see if it's for you, Fantasy is a great ship

The Dream is leaving for the Mediterranean and for a European deployment. So, that's going to change very quickly here in the next few months

On the Fantasy, we got to draw a little cartoon and then they took up our place mats and took them to the back and our little cartoons put on this whole show

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose Fantasy for short sailings from Port Canaveral, especially if combining with a Central Florida vacation
Choose Dream if flying into Fort Lauderdale or doing a South Florida beach vacation
For Europe cruises, Dream is the choice this summer, but Wish may be better next year
