OK!! so lets lay this out so people really know the truth. The Dream was clean did not smell of sewer or smoke, yes smoke was prevalent in the casino and approved smoking areas. My solution is don't go into the those areas and you wont know.
Food is good and bad, fresh at times and gross at others- but when you are trying to feed 3000+ meals basically 3 times a day stuff sucks occasionally and depending what kind often, lol. If i was a vegetarian I wouldn't expect the steak house to not serve meat..... Everyone since time began yrs ago knows that schools are out over the summer. So why do you take a cruise during that time and then become disenfranchised with other peoples brats acting like kids??
The beast, is a huge ship, will sway and pull from weather changes and such causing you to miss a port- next time fly and you wont miss out on Rotan, or get over it.
a room with a balcony....it is what it is, I booked a cruise not a room- used to sleep and shower.
