Overall, had a GREAT time on the Dream! It was myself and my son (13) and we've been on many cruises before, but never anything of this size. I loved the ship! I think it is now my favorite!

Anyway, drove the ride down to Port Canaveral from SC. Had booked the Radisson @ the Port with my points and was pleasantly suprised to be upgraded to a suite. Suite was great, hotel was nice. Only issue was it was NOISY....walls must be made of paper, because we heard everything. However, we were also next to the door that led in and out of the hallway.. Had an early dinner at the onsite restaurant and then ordered room service later - food pretty good. Had also booked a ressie at the Parking at the Port, which is through Radisson, but chose to go through the Convention Center rather than the hotel. Cost was $4.95 per day since I booked online and they DO count the morning you pick up as a day. Got on the first shuttle out (roughly about 10:15) and headed to Port. Embarkation was very smooth and I'd say we were on the ship by 11:30....

I won't go into a day-by-day review since there have been many other reviews, but some points. Read more
