My husband and daughter (age 5) departed on January 28th for two weeks on the Dream. We also were traveling with other family members of various ages.
The ship is obviously very large. In my opinion, it is laid out extremely well and looked very fresh, new & clean. I was quite nervous since I had read such varying reviews. All members of my party had a great vacation and were surprised that we didn't endure more lines, bad food and that foul odor everyone keeps talking about.
The Good things:
We were in an interior Spa cabin and it was too small for my little family of 3. My uncle had an inside room on deck 1 that was much bigger and nicer than mine. I wish the person that booked my cabin would have talked to me about this because I could have gotten the spa pass separately and enjoyed more space.
