First of all I must say, if someone found anything negative about the cruise ship Dream, they were trying hard. We just returned from sailing on the Dream, May 27th cruise. We took our daughter, son in law, and three grandchildren who had never been on a cruise. This was our 8th and have cruised on other cruiselines.
I was bracing myself when I heard some horror stories aboard this ship and didn't know what to expect but I feel I have to post our experience as I know other passengers who are preparing to venture on the Dream shortly are also feeling uneasy with some previous post and not sure what to expect. I will be brief.
Embarkation was one of the quickest ones I have had. We arrived at the port around 11:30 and was on the ship less than 30 minutes and most of that time took checking in with the 7 of us. Every Disney staff member was exceptionally helpful, friendly and pleasant to speak with.The terminal was spotless and not crowded like I expected. Once on the ship we went to Cabanas and ate some lunch before checking out the ship.
Excellent location on the ship. Totally quiet area. So much space for your luggage. Convenience of two bathrooms. Adequate balcony space. Starboard side of ship with excellent views of Nassau and Castaway Cay and fireworks.
