Disney Dream Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Our first Disney cruise was met with MUCH enthusiasm as we'd heard so many great things over the years. We are a couple with no kids and really wanted to experience a Disney cruise without feeling overrun by children. Disney exceeded our expectations in just about every way.
The Port -- Disney's facility at Port Canaveral -- is amazing. Even the porters are Disney employees. It sets the standard for service and cleanliness even before you're on the ship. Check-in was a breeze and you can have your photo taken with Mickey before you even get on the ship, if you like! The walk to the gangway is preceded by an entry way shaped like Mickey's head. Again, a special touch.
Embarkation -- We had no idea we'd be greeted with a, "Welcome the Jacobs family!" announcement upon boarding. What a nice touch and something that differentiates Disney from other cruise lines.
Cabin Review
Our 5A cabin (10026) was the first cabin on the port side near the elevators. It was the only one left in this category when we booked it, and we were very concerned about the sound level since it's so close to the elevators. Well, guess what? Disney got this right too. We never heard a peep of people in the hallway or anyone standing near the elevators. Obviously, the stateroom doors are sealed well. My favorite part of the cabin was the split bathroom -- one with a sink, tub and shower, and the other with a sink and toilet. It just made getting ready in the morning very efficient for both of us!
