We departed on the DREAM on 15 May. We had a suite (for the first time) and thus had VIP check-in and debarkation privledges, so keep that in mind as you read the below review categories, provided with honest, candid reviews by topic:
Embarkation: From Taxi to on-deck in the Lido was 20 minutes. Just real fast and real smooth. VIP check-in is really great.
First impressions: Very nice ship; nice decor; not overdone.
