Disney Dream Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We just returned from our long awaited Disney Dream vacation. I must say Disney always puts on a good show.
We were on the 4 day Cruise. I sailed with my husband and 5 year old son. This is our 6th Disney Cruise. I have also recently sailed on Royal Caribbeans Allure of the Seas.
We spent 4 days before we sailed at the Park and turned in our rental car and took the shuttle from the rental car drop off (it is much cheaper to rent a car then it is to take a shuttle). We arrived around 10:30 in the morning, we picked up our room key and got our son's bracelet, FYI do all of the signing up before you come online. I have heard some complaint about the kids wearing the bracelet, we just told our son about it before we got there and he was pretty excited about it. We stood in line to have our picture with Captain Mickey and by the time we were done with all of this our boarding number was called. They took our picture of our family when we entered the ship and called out our name as we boarded the ship. So here is my first review: Disney did not increase the size of the terminal. So it is probably more crowded then most, but they have plenty of things to keep you busy (movies going, pictures with Mickey). So it would be less crowded if you went on the Disney Magic. Now comparing this to Allure of the Seas...no brainer...Allure of the Seas we were on from the taxi to the ship in less than 15 minutes...Allure of the Seas was much faster.
Cabin Review
We were in cabin 7528, which I thought was great...nothing special for Disney Dream though. I loved the fact that the bed was up higher so you could store your luggage under the bed. They had 2 closets, which was great and I felt like they had plenty of dresser space to put your clothes. I loved the 2 bathroom concept and the phones that you can take around the ship. The balcony was nice size, I just wish that we did not have to smell those passengers who insist on smoking. This cabin is a connecting cabin, but we could not hear our neighbors. It is somewhat close to the stairs and elevator.
