This was our second 7 day cruise on the Dream and we love this boat. We had a cove balcony room this time-room 2366-which we really liked. It was quiet & convenient plus we loved being so close to the water. It was a totally different balcony experience than being higher up on the boat. We liked watching the harbor pilot coming onto and exiting the Dream each time we came into port. This would be fun for kids to watch. We also tried any time dining for the 1st time, which worked well for us. We enjoyed the shows and many of the musicians on different nights. All the staff were excellent-every waiter/waitress, our steward, etc. were polite & helpful. We had room service for coffee & a light breakfast each morning & it always arrived on time and nicely served. We also ordered a bottle of liquor from the on-store gift shop before the cruise. It arrived in our room on the first day & allowed us to have in room cocktails & it was a good savings too since it's a large liter size bottle. We ate at the steak house on the first night, which was wonderful plus you get a free bottle of wine on the first night. The service was excellent & very special & the food was delicious. About pictures: I usually take advantage of the photographers because it's nice to get professional pictures of me & my husband. If you buy your embarkation picture on the first night, you will receive a free lanyard & a nice picture of your boat. I'm always looking for the little extras. We enjoyed all the ports-snorkeling in Roatan & Belize and a nice meal at Pancho's Backyard in Cozumel. We enjoy the sea days, taking it easy, people watching, and just spending time together. Also we like sailing from New Orleans as embarkation is well organized. Leaving the boat is always a little complicated because so many people insist on hauling their luggage with them. Folks---just set it out your door & pick it up on your way out--it's so much easier.
