Review summary

We were so happy to be cruising again. We had heard horror stories about going cruising after the pandemic but we had to see for ourselves and we had a fabulous cruise. The new muster station drill was awesome and I really hope they keep it this way with getting on board and going to your muster station checking in with a crew member watch them show you how to put on a life vest and telling you when and what to listen for then you are dismissed to enjoy your cruise. Your cruise is what you make it and we choose to have fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was excellent. You could really tell they were very happy to be back working.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have sailed on the Dream many times so the layout was perfect for us. Always say crew members cleaning and cleaning and cleaning more but they actually did this on previous cruises that I have been on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very clean and for the two of us the size was what we needed. We are rarely stayed in the cabin except to sleep.

Ship tip

Be patient.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
This was the first time for us to sail out of Galveston and it was not an extremely beautiful port but very easy to access for boarding.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We enjoy this port and the pool area around the shops. The people were very friendly and not pushy like some places are.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

We stopped at this port but did not get off the ship

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Have been to Cozumel several times and always enjoy shopping and just looking around. Several excursion opportunities for Cozumel through the cruise ship and on your own.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was the fastest we have ever disembarked a cruise ship and we have gone out of New Orleans and mobile but Galveston was the fastest by far for us.
