We must be weird as we actually prefer the Wonder and Magic over the Dream and Fantasy. They feel much more intimate and we met so many nice folks and kept seeing them again. Had many great conversations, drinks, and fun with strangers. Also nice to keep seeing the same CMs over and over. Honestly, I could see it either way but the post refresh OG ships are a winner for us.

I agree with your assessment. Even though it seems many fellow DCL lovers will disagree. We have gone on 9 Disney cruises, Magic was our least favorite. We will stick with the larger ships and looking forward to check out the new ones.
