I am 13 years old, and my 11 year old sister, my mom, my dad and I (Then 12) went to my first cruise on the disney dream. I was put in charge of researching our trip, which meant hours of studying websites (Including this one, thanks!) and seeing a lot of good reviews. So I was hyped!
Even though we were traveling during the off season, it was still much busier due to the Atlanta track out/spring break and all of the Halloween festivities (Which I won't cover.). Surprisingly, even though we were near the back of the line, we still were all set in about an hour! What made the wait fun was watching a goofy short film created to show how to check in & out, the required emergency drill procedures, and most of all, to have fun (and be safe) on your cruise! Also, they really make you feel special when you enter. I won't spoil it, but its worth going alone for this.
Our cabin was a veranda, and it was pretty spacious. The TV, although limited in channel options, had a large on demand menu that had pretty much every successful disney movie and show ever made.The room always was tidy and was up-to-par. Overall, it was awesome!
It was excellent, with a pretty view and nice service with a smile.
