Review summary

the only late night snack was pizza. Bingo is too expensive. Shows were not as good as on NCL. Food in dining was good. Disembarking was too hurried. We were told to leave cabin by 8am but rere called at 7:30 to leave. No breakfast at that day. Casino was good. Only 1 outlet in stateroom so needed long extension cord for CPAP.

Close to elevator but still not noisy.

Ship tip

Do not miss the bbq. Keep a copy of the deck plan with you. The slot machines are truly one arm bandits!

Breakfast IS available during disembarking. The dining room is open as well as the Lido buffet and the blue iguana cantina. We also were able to get a special coffee at the coffee shop. All of this was done and we were off the ship by 0800.

You did not do any research before you cruised. Sounds like it takes an awful lot to make you happy. You don't show any previous cruises. Chill..

For us, the Dream, decks 1 & 2 were first; Breeze, 1&2 were last. Future cruises, we have upper decks & when we book on 1&2 again, I will choose the rear to get to lido & not get stuck.

Our room was on the Lido deck so no problem getting to breakfast.

Thanks for info. We will be sure to order room service early (or go to Lido early) on disembarkation- we are on floor 2. How much was bingo?

Disembarking on the Dream, when staying on 1 & 2 floors, is just a mess. We were rushed out as well (2 different cruises). We couldn't make it to breakfast due to hall being blocked/ jammed with folks. On the Breeze we stayed on the 1st floor near rear elevators, we were able to get out of our cabins by 8, to head to breakfast and waited on lido for late call to disembark.

Just for future reference, Lido and one of dining rooms will always serve breakfast on disembarking day. I am sorry that you didn't have all that good of an experience.

Usually you have to be out of your cabin by 8/8:30 so it's a little odd that they were forcing you out at 7:30 and breakfast is usually served on Lido on debarkation day
