Having read some of the reviews about the dream i was a bit nervous of what to expect.
The ship is dated and i couldn't see any indication of a refit, the carpets are worn and the chairs have seen better days, and yes there was a funny smell on deck four, however it was clean, and the staff could be seen cleaning all the time.
Main complaint is that the main sit down dining is on deck four (go to Alexis's side its not smelly)and you end up meeting in deck 8 and having to go up and down.
Cabin 7179 standard inside - Good size, clean and enough hanging space, plus loads of hangers. Could hear the piano bar music but stopped at 11:00pm so not too bad.
