My wife and I are experienced cruisers who have cruised on Disney (2), Carnival (3), Princess, (7) Norwegian (3), Royal Caribbean (1), and Celebrity (3).
After cruising 7 years ago on the Disney Wonder we extolled the virtues of a Disney cruise to our daughter and her family and in laws. We booked the Dream a year in advance because it was spring break and expected it to be full. It was full to the breaking point apparently.
This cruise bore little resemblance to our first Disney cruise. It was so crowded and the dining rooms were so packed together, the waiters could hardly navigate between the tables, and this is the BIG ship.
Cabin was small and difficult to navigate through. It was clean and well laid out
We enjoyed Castaway Cay and so did the kids. The lunch was very good too
