Dream or Vista based on what we like to do

[ThaNectar]

Trying to decide between the Vista and dream.

 

Any help would be appreciated based on what we like to do when cruising. The port stops really don't make that big of a difference to us.

 

We pretty much just like to sit by the pool and drink beer and people watch during the day.

 

Hang out in the casino at night.

 

and on Port days... find a good beach and chill and drink beer.

 

That's pretty much it.  Very simple.

 

Thanks in advance

With your criteria, I feel like either ship would be a good fit. I'm wondering what additional preferences you might have that would "make" or "break" your vacation/experience (i.e. noise levels, amount of children present, availability of adult only activities or areas, nightlife, cost, etc..). Without a better picture of who you are as a cruiser, I don't know that this forum will be of much help.

 

Without any of that, I'd personally go with whichever ship had the newest retrofit and most options- which would probably be the Dream. But again, with your limited criteria, either would probably do.

I guess our main criteria would be who has the nicest pools and best casino.

We are late 40's traveling with no children. 

 

Thanks for ur input

The previous poster is correct. you're to laid back man 😁.

I've cruises both classes and here my thoughts for a laid back cruiser:

 

The Vista class, while technically more crowded, makes better use of the lanai and other public areas to give you quiet places to spend time.  

 

The Vista class also has a far superior serenity deck with better wind blocks, more space and a full bar.  If it were simply down to ship vs ship, I'd choose Vista.

 

That said, if one has a better itinerary or homeport, I'd say the ships aren't different enough to override those preferences.

I really like both ships.  In regard to the things you mentioned, I think the Dream has 2 casinos (one completely smoke-free) which I think is nice.
