This is our family's 20th cruise (or there about). We only had three days I could get all of us together, and my Disney fan daughters (19 and 23) voted for the new Dream. We shared one cabin (4 of us) since it was so such a short cruise - space was adequate but we were on top of each other somewhat. Good thing we had a balcony to escape to.

We signed up for the earliest boarding time available; embarkation was quick and easy and we were on board by 11.45am. We were given Silver castaway lanyards for our key cards; loved the new cards that you did not have to insert into the slot to gain access to the ship, stateroom, etc. Our cabin steward Louis was amazing; welcomed all of us by name and was so accommodating.
