The Wonder and the Magic are significantly smaller, so IMHO they do feel more intimate. The Fantasy and the Dream are larger, a bit fancier, and due to their size they have things (like the aquaduck, mini-golf, etc.) that the smaller ships don't have. Some people prefer the smaller ships, and other prefer the larger ones. If you're willing to give it a try, you might find you enjoy the Fantasy. If you really want the smaller size, switch to either the Wonder or the Magic (they are sister ships, so are quite similar). We felt like the number of people on the Dream made it feel more crowded, even with all the extra space it has. This definitely affects Castaway Cay, too. Having said this, I would be happy to sail on the Dream/Fantasy again. YMMV
