We are a family of 4, a mom and dad and DS 11, DD 13, we booked an Adventures By Disney trip last year and this 3 night Dream cruise was a bonus with the booking. We were happy that even the taxes and tips were included. We are Diamond Royal Caribbean cruisers, but have done 4 prior Disney Cruises. We transitioned to Royal after 4 Disney cruises as we were tired of the same great shows ;). We thought we would check out the new Dream, the watercoaster, and revisit Castaway Cay which is an AWESome island.

We spent 4 nights in an All Star Vacation home prior to our cruise. We were close to the Disney Parks, and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and wi-fi all in our own vacation home. We drove a rented Dollar minivan to Port Canaveral. DH dropped me and the kids and bags at the pier and went to return the van. We were Castaway Club Gold members, but couldnt check in until he showed up 30 minutes late, and were in the 8th boarding group. WE checked in fast and waited for our numbers, There are too many people in this cruise terminal for this process. There are not enough chairs and 1,000 children running about. Finally we are boarded 40 minutes later and head to the buffet. This is lovely with a huge variety and lovely free soda fountains. We enjoyed the crabs, shrimp, salads. Then we changed into our suits in the restrooms and rode the watercoaster and sampled the pools. WAtercoaster is fun, but lines are long, and the pools are tiny. The hot tubs are kid soup, we headed to the adult hot tub which was relatively empty, as well the adult pool. Stange that it is a through way to to kids side, but ok, no large plants, no decor, no scultures or art, all in all a very plain deck. We expected more theming and magic, it seemed to be built to take a beating.

There are few loungers at the family pools, just chairs. Many kids running about and moms screaming at them into my ear. Hmmm....
