My DW and I bagan our journey by leaving Augusta GA on Friday and staying at the the Comfort Inn and Suites that evening. Had a great time doing karaoke and started the week off in a good way.
EMBARKATION: Just as everyone prior has said, this was the easiest and quickest I have ever done. Arrived at the terminal at 10:45 am and were on the boat exploring by 11:15 am. AWESOME!!
The DREAM is an expansive ship, but the layout was terrific. We stayed in room 1-315 Riviera Deck which is a category 6N stateroom (Oceanview deluxe) The room was unbelievably spacious and had 2 bathrooms. One bathroom had a toilet sink and shower and the other had a junior tub w/ shower and a sink. It was absolutely fantastic for my wife and i to both be able to get ready at the same time. Our room steward was Raslani form Indonesia. I met him in the hallway at 11:45 am and he told me we could just get in the room now because he was done. I gave him a $20 bill and asked him if he could keep ice on the water we brought with us in my collapsible cooler and also give us some extra pillows. He did not disappoint. He gave us fresh ice morning and night and was always asking if we needed anything else. Terrific service!!
