My family of 5 just finished up a four night cruise on the Disney Dream. Going into the cruise, I was nervous the crowds would be unmanageable because it is in the middle of Summer vacation for most U.S.A. schools. While there were times that it certainly was crowded (elevator areas after a show) most of the time it was not a problem at all.
