Marella Dream Review

Additional details
We sailed on the Dream 28th September to 5th October. We set out to have a good time - and we did!
Our party of 6 had 2 inside cabins, 1 outside, which were more spacious than other Thomson ships. Room 5004 was larger than most doubles with 2 portholes and a wakeup call from the berthing cables when we drew into port. We were all on deck 5 and although we had read all the reviews and were ready for problems we found no soggy carpets, reversing toilets or smelly corridors. There was definitely no list to the ship; sis would have noticed her G&T spilling over.
We ate in the Andromeda Restaurant during the day. The layout isn't ideal as everyone queued right from the start of the buffet display for hot and cold food BUT we're English, and trained how to queue properly and people used the time to chat to each other between the salads and the beef Wellington. It's a small thing but we would have liked more hot veggies, possibly as a contrast to the amount of alcohol we drank - we were AI and the measures were very generous.....
Cabin Review
2 portholes, forward of ship. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Cabin was at the end of a corridor - a lengthy walk to the other end of the ship. Corridor was very quiet at night. The only noise was the docking cables being winched out when we approached port - as good as an alarm clock. Shower was good and there was plenty of shelving for toiletries. Fridge in the room and a safe were both free to use.
