Review summary

There is not much to say. Comedy was good but lines terrible. Take out the elevators as EVERTONE waited way too long to get one, if they did get one! Press the button and the elevators still passed you buy. Best bet was to get on it ride the whole circle to get where you wanted to go. No supervision at the putt putt that was needed greatly. Better security. Only saw two security personnel during the whole trip. Require personnel to keep their pants up and use ear pieces when playing vulgar music. Sorry to say this as it was a disappointment to us, but you wanted to know the best part of our trip and that was stepping back off it........................... Best Regards

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the pasta dinning upstairs gets an "F" it takes 20 minutes to get food. We left twice! P*** poor! Food was good if you got it but they are stingy on sauce; very stingy. Downstairs table cleaning too slow.

Onboard Activities

Great however you schedule NEVER reflects how long each activity is so you can plan better.

Entertainment

Sometime the schedule did not reflect correctly to the times they started.

A/C was out in our room till late, late afternoon. You need to sit at the same table to organize your people. Learn from your mistakes.

Edwardo is a plus too your team and you probably don't reward him for his good work.

Ship tip

Wish I could have told them before they bought their ticket and told them Don't go on this one. Check out Royal or Norwegian. We are going to learn from our first mistake!

Have to agree with the op. Just got off a 7 day on the Dream. Lines are shorter at my local wal mart on day after Thanksgiving. Which is where I felt I was at. We never took the elevator after the first day. People would pack in with no regard to who was already in. We tried to relax, but when you buy the cheers package and can't even get a drink, it's frustrating.

Well. We love the dream this coming Feb will be our 3rd on this particular ship we've been sailing since 1999 and we love it. Don't give up try it again maybe a different ship.

The Dream is great! As far as the elevators, we always take the stairs and just take our time. More security? More than enough available. Do you really want them everywhere, that would be your next complaint.

Cruising is definitely not for you. Stick to land vacations. The Dream is a proven excellent choice for a vacation.

Maybe cruising isn't for you. I am assuming this is your first cruise as those who have before know that the first thing to enjoying the cruise is to relax and take it easy. Waiting on elevators is part of cruise life for those who don't like to there are stairs. The reason it might have passed you by was because it was going up and you wanted to go down or maybe it was at max allowable weight.
