How similar are the Magic and the Dream?

[Wolfsrule]

I’m going on the Magic in September 2020 (booked it back in June a few days after coming off the Conquest..the wait feels like FOREVER lol). I know they are in the same class. I’ve been on the Dream back in 2016 but never the Magic. How similar are they?

They are about the same , same designer did both ,,The Breeze in the same class is different , It had a different designer , It is very nice ,,, 14 cruises , even on the newer ships , Breeze is the best of Carnival

Thanks. I loved the design on the Conquest personally. Beautiful artwork. Dream was pretty to but not like Conquest.

The Carnival website has this nifty tool where you can compare up to three ships and see exactly what is different/the same.

Magic is pretty bland compared with Conquest.

I respectfully disagree. We have been on all 3 and the Conquest was our least favorite. We loved both the Dream and Magic. We had similar Cloud 9 Spa Balcony cabins and loved them.

The main difference is the magic has a red frog pub and the Dream has an art gallery in that space. Other than that the differences are mostly the decor.

Saint Greg already mentioned the biggest difference between the two ships. The other thing good about Magic is it was the last ship designed by Joe Farcus and has a nice decor.  Breeze, Vista, and Horizon (I have not been on Panorama yet) all look very similar and are very boring looking in my opinion.  I realize my views are very subjective and not everyone feels the same way.

you didn't read the original posters comments.... she said she LOVED the decor of the Conquest, so bright and colorful...that is why I said the Magic is bland in comparison.  I have done the Magic twice and it is probably my least favorite "decor"... just lots of pink and lime green flashing lights and chrome.

Agreed.  Breeze is the best I have experienced so far.  Vista was just a little too big and too busy.

Curious to why you think VIsta is too big when it is basically the same size as Breeze. Technically, Vista is 3500 GT bigger or roughly 2% bigger than Breeze, which is negligible to me. From my experience Dream and Vista class ships feel the same size, it’s the different bells and whistles that make each ship a little bit different from the others.

What?! Lol. It’s the total opposite. I love both ships, but the Magic has much more to offer than the Conquest.

The OP never mentioned anything about decor

it was the post #3 and yes, that person.

Everything that is Red on Dream is Blue on Magic

 

Magic has the ropes course and sports area and Dream does not

 

Magic has Red Frog Pub and Dream does not

 

Dream has the Sushi place and Magic does not

 

Dream has more hot tubs than Magic

 

However, the #1 reason to sail Magic over Dream is Cucina del Capitano which is the greatest specialty restaurant ever - Magic has it and Dream does not
