From the outside, and it's easy to see how different the Disney Dream is from other 4,000-passenger cruise ships.
The design is "classic, evoking a sense of romance," said senior creative vice president Joe Lanzisero, whereas other similar-size ships have lost their classic shapes.
Maybe that's one sign things will be a little different on this ship.
Once aboard, passengers will notice another thing that sets the Dream apart from other cruise lines: There are no casinos.
Having a casino on board one of the company's ships is "totally inconsistent" to what Disney is all about, Disney Cruise Line President and CEO Karl Holz said.
"I cannot in a million years imagine that," he said. "We offer a unique Disney product, a family cruise product that is uniquely Disney in all we do."
But that's not to say the Dream is strictly kids' stuff.
This is where the ship makes its distinction from other ships in the Disney fleet. There's something aboard for everyone in the family, even the adults.
When Disney first dipped its toe into the cruise industry, it was family-oriented in just about everything.
But it is Disney, after all, filled with pixie dust, magic and technological amazement. With the Dream, the key was amazing the adults as well as the children.
Watery thrill
Let's start with the Aqua Duck, the first water coaster at sea. When looking at the ship from the outside, the see-through coaster is the first thing you notice.
The Aqua Duck takes cruisers on a 760-foot-long ride that shoots out 10,000
gallons of water per minute and includes a segment that extends off the ship, high above the ocean.
"We looked at the ship and thought, 'We want to do a roller coaster, but not the norm,' " said Peter Ricci, show design and production manager and one of the Aqua Duck's designers.
