We took the 3 night cruise on the Disney Dream. We had a wonderful time. We booked our trip through Lynda Hower with Dream Makers Vacation Services. I am so glad that we used a travel agent. Lynda helped us with details about our cruise and I am so glad that we took her advice. We had a Verandah room on Deck 8. Originally, I thought a verandah on deck 5 would be sufficient, but those verandah's are a little different than the other decks. We stayed in Cocoa Beach the night before our cruise and it was approx. a 10 minute drive to the ship!

We arrived at Port Canaveral on Thursday morning at 9:30 am. We were in the front of the line for boarding the ship. Around 10:30 AM, DCL let us begin through security. We then had an easy check-in process and received boarding number 10. We boarded the Dream at approximately 12:00. We went straight to the Aquaduck. The line was short at that time in comparison to the wait for the rest of the cruise. After riding the Aquaduck 5 times, we ate lunch at Cabanas. We did not have a problem finding a seat. The food was good. At 1:30 PM, we were allowed to go to our stateroom. For a cruise ship, our room was spacious. The dual bathrooms were helpful in getting ready. I really loved having a verandah! I think that I will always want a verandah!

We went back to the pool area after unpacking. By this time, the ship was packed and the wait for the aquaduck was 40 minutes! The Aqua Duck was our 8yo favorite part of the cruise. My husband and I thought it was fun too! The going away deck party was a lot of fun. We had to leave early though because it was time to shower for the early dinner. We ate at Royal Palace. The French Onion soup and creme brulee were really good. Read more
