This will be short. I sailed on March 25th on the Dream with my 3 kids, wife, inlaws, brother in law, sister in law and their daughter. We read the "smell" reviews and were really scared to go. First. There is absolutely a sewer smell on board, so anyone who said it was made up, was lucky, BUT, I smelled it and my kids only smelled it when we were at the very top of the ship going on the water slides. It was annoying but no big deal! Seriously, don't give it a second thought. Trust me, I made too big of a deal of it before my trip and it was not a big deal.

The slide was really fun for the kids. Very windy up there and cold waiting on line, but lot's of fun and the lines got much shorter as the cruise went on. Ship ran out of ping pong balls, because they fly overboard. If you like to play, bring a supply. Yes. Long lines. The Wok station was ridiculous. Seriously, 40 minutes. My son and I both did it the first day and felt we waited so long and didn't want to leave the line. My son loved the Wok food though...He tried it again on the 3rd day, but I did not. He had the exact same long wait. Our whole group was done before he was even half way through the line.

The cooks needed to have a little more sense of urgency when serving food. Pasta Bar was good. Deli was great. Corned beef sandwich was awesome. Burritos were also good, although again, it took way too long to get. Shows were very good. Oli was our waiter at early seating dinner and he was so much fun!!!! Read more
