Not surprisingly we loved our 4 night cruise on the Dream. This is our third cruise ever and first with Disney. We don't have kids but still enjoyed the Disney atmosphere.
A La Carte food options were great and Palo was fantastic. The buffet food was fine, typical buffet cruise food I would say. Highly recommend using room service which was open as soon as the rooms were available. We chose to bring aboard a bottle of wine and started the cruise with a cheese plate, baked Mac and Cheese and a glass of our favorite wine.
Nothing to add about the ship or shows except I recommend avoiding the mid ship stairs and elevators whenever possible since it tended to be the one most people used and was very crowded. Also we brought our own mugs so we could fill them with soda or water from the beverage stations near the pool.
We brought our own snorkel gear and glad we did since it was $31 pp for gear rental. Very few hammocks and the things to see snorkeling are much farther than we anticipated so my legs were tired by the time we actually saw anything, but the atmosphere was great, loved using the tram and lunch by Serenity Bay was delicious (especially all the fresh fruits).
