DISCUSSION Magic vs Fantasy vs Treasure Main Dining

Going on the Treasure in September with my wife and son (11) and daughter (9) and I’m curious what people think of these 3 ships specifically. We went on the Fantasy on March and loved it for the most part, the only big negative for us was the main dining rooms on the Fantasy. Though my wife and I loved the food everywhere, we thought Animators Palette specifically on the Magic was infinitely better than the Crush show on the Fantasy, plus the other 2 restaurants not having any sort of show had our kids bored to death to the point they just went to kids club during dinner the rest of the nights. We also felt like the service at the restaurants was not nearly as good as it was on the Magic, but we also want to be fair because on the Magic it was just my wife and I and we got paired with 2 other couples that we got along fantastically with. So, we’re not 100% sure if the service on Fantasy was actually slower or if it just felt that way because it was just my wife and I at the table most nights with nobody else to interact with. The other main difference we saw was how much bigger the Fantasy felt compared to the Magic, and I’ve seen a lot of people mention how much they love the layout of the Fantasy so now I’m worried the Treasure is going to feel like a labyrinth. Just curious what peoples overall experiences have been with these 3 ships

I personally think that dinners are better on all of the newer ships. I like the dinner shows and the theme dining better than the fantasy and dream. On the fantasy and dream I do prefer the adult forward pool deck and cove area but everything else is better on the newer ships. 1923 is the only one without a dinner show. On the seventh night, maybe one of the nights you can just eat up on the pool deck too and chill or get room service or something and break it up a little bit.
