This actually is not how the cruise industry rolls. Normally there’s families of ships that are introduced that have similar things (the Wish and Treasure for example), but normally there’s big upgrades over the previous class of ships and so far really… meh.You'd have to drag me onto a cruise, but it seems pretty obvious to me why a popular cruise line would mostly want parity of experience across multiple ships.
Adding on to that royal Caribbean even goes beyond that, they will typically have 2 sister ships releases 2 years in a row, but then the next set of 2 ships within the same class will be a “plussed” version of the same class for example, adding water slides, a mat dry slide. Based on the timing between the wish and treasure I would’ve expected at least some type of changes beyond a retheme, but even then, I don’t think the marvel restaurant was received very well so not sure why they wouldn’t have made any adjustments to it.This actually is not how the cruise industry rolls.

Disney is just doing the same ships over and over instead of innovating. Royal Caribbean’s newer ship are insanely different from ships that they debuted in the late 90’s. Even Carnival. Disney can’t say that.
Yeah, that's the thing is RC is debuting a world class ship in the Icon this year and Disney has the Treasure. Both have plenty for families and are very expensive. But when you take a look at the totality of the offerings, there's absolutely no comparison that the Icon wins out by quite a large margin.And yea I just saw a vlog from somebody that was showing off the food options on the ICON ...holy hell..
I like the heroes and villains theme. Hope this is it for the Wish class. Royal is way outdoing Disney in the family cruising market right now and they're cheaper. Disney's next class of ship's needs to actually have some other interesting options and honestly maybe a completely different layout. All these ships look the same for the most part. If I was a layman, I wouldn't understand why I should book a room on the brand new Disney Wish and not refurbished Disney Magic (a 1998 ship). Both are prohibitively expensive anyway and offer essentially the same experience with very few differences.
Ever since 2009 with Royal Caribbean's Oasis class ships, the difference in quality between the two cruise lines has been stark, RC is pretty family oriented and also offers more for adults at a cheaper price point. The only thing Disney is getting by on with the lack of innovation and imagination that they are putting into the design of these ships is the Disney name. That's it.
So I live in an area that cruises are a popular option for many and yes RC seems to win out over Carnival and Disney. I will say it would be RC, Carnival, then Disney if I counted all the cruises people I know have been on. Yet, some people feel they HAVE to do Disney and if they do it when one kid is a certain age they need to repeat it. So there is still people who want to do Disney and frankly Disney has less ships so they are not going to get everyone. I am not in that have to group and will stick with RC Oasis and Icon. I unfortunately have an extremely picky family and if there are no trees on the boat (Central park on Oasis and Icon) my family won't go on the ship.Yeah, that's the thing is RC is debuting a world class ship in the Icon this year and Disney has the Treasure.
