We are first time cruisers traveling with a group of 15 including kids from 11-18.Getting on the ship was fast and easy. Everything was well organized. No lines or long waits. Until we got on the ship. Cramming all the passengers into the pool and buffet areas was annoying. Not nearly enough space for the number of people! We found our rooms easily, and most of our luggage was delivered within an hour. One of the bags arrived about two hours later. Our room was sooooo clean. What a delight! Except that overall the decorating of the Dream is downright ugly. Especially the lobby....

First night in the dining room was a bit slow. We had the late seating. The food was just Ok. Nothing special. The staff was friendly and attentive. They took good care of me with my Gluten free diet needs.

The days at sea were a nightmare! Just awful! Two inadequately sized pools were overfilled with people.Deck chairs were hard to obtain. I showered twice in my room to cool off, and ended up spending the rest of the day on my deck. it was a nice place to hang out!

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8D

Loved our cabin! Plenty of room for 2. Decor was pretty ugly, but the cabin steward had it spotlessly clean! Balcony Deck was really hot in the sun!!! Always smelled like cooking potatoes and onions out there. We did not hear any noise from other passengers, except if they were loud in the hallway. We did feel the shaking of the screws....something was definitely out of alignment. it was especially bad after we ran aground in Belize.It was totally cool when we backed into the dock in Roatan....birds eye view of the island!
