Let me just start by saying if you are booked on the Maiden Voyage of the Disney Fantasy, you won't be disappointed!
While many aspects of the Fantasy are similar to the Dream there is something that makes the Fantasy feel "upgraded" from the Dream. Both ships are similar, as they are sister vessels but the decor is different and the new amenities on the Fantasy really set her apart from the other ships.
The most impressive changes to me were the theming in the adult areas and the addition of the water features for the adults areas.
The Tube is the Fantasy counterpart of Evolution on the Disney Dream. The District, as it's known on the Dream has been dubbed "Europa" on the Disney Fantasy. When I first heard about these theme I had my doubts but seeing is believing-this area is AMAZING.
I love the coloring, textures and lighting in the Tube. These London themed club is filled with textures and designs that make you feel like you're riding the rails in Europe...thus "The Tube".
There are even poles to hang onto if you're standing, just like on a subway, as well as leather handles overhead. The booth seats are covered with tapestries that look like subway maps
There is a mix of colors and textures and the seating is all a mishmash of large booths, single chairs, small cocktail tables and oversized luxurious single chairs. Leather, acrylic and plenty of rhinestones mix up the tube with a modern European feel.
The lighting is my favorite thing about the tube. Above the bar is a circular lighting element but throughout the rest of the area the globes overhead change colors, show images, etc and make a very, very cool effect. The floor also lights up and can be customized for the event happening (for example: The Match Your Mate game).
A new addition to the Tube is the interactive element. There is a small remote looking device at each table that's perfect for casting your vote on games such as "Match Your Mate-Version 2.0". During this funny and informative show you can cast your vote on which couple you think will succeed in answering the question correctly, or vote who should have their own reality show. The audience participation can also help each couple gain additional points. This was a fun new aspect to this game that's played on all of the ships.
My overall impression of The Tube was that it's really upgraded compared to the Dream, which is also quite beautiful. This has a more cutting edge feel and is certainly London themed-complete with red telephone booths! The lighting is really an amazing effect that you have to see to believe. I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for changing those lightbulbs!

The Tube was full until the wee hours of the morning with games, dancing, drinking etc and has a lot more life than the adult locations on the Magic and Wonder. If The Tube isn't your style you can choose from one of the other many adult locations in Europa.
