Review summary

Overall great experience. Just needed to leave a few elevators operational for people who wanted to get breakfast. We were in front of ship and to drag heavy luggage up stairs just to be able to find juice or coffee because we had to be out of our rooms for cleaning for next passengers

Food and Dining

Food was decent. Chocolate desserts had little to no flavor. Steak cooked perfectly. Guys hamburgers are amazing and the burritos delicious.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Loved the movies by the pool at night. The family fun games were kinda lame and no hairy chest contest. Music on lido deck was good. The host of the fairy tales quiz game started early and had some very upset people. A girl cried

Entertainment

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved how there was 3 outdoor decks. You could sit in shade and still be in the mix of things. Loved the seating in the rear of the ship. The chairs very comfortable

Cabin / Stateroom

Had 2 bathrooms which was perfect. Our steward was amazing and kept it clean. Just wish we had clean Windows we could see out of. Windows had so much spray on them it was hard to see out of them

No worries man.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

Hated it. Brandon told us that some elevators were only going to be used for immediate floors being called. Ok.that we had to be out of our rooms by 8 and we can still grab breakfast. Ok.....not ok. None of the elevators were left for people to go up or down to get breakfast. They were all being used for debarkation. We had to drag our heavy luggage from main floor to lobby floor and stay. Thank god they had coffee and juice because there was no way we can climb to lido deck 7 flights of stairs. Rediculous

(1) Check your heavy bags the night before or (2) go eat THEN get your bags.

We just got up and ate early and then went back to the room for our luggage instead of dragging it around with us. The buffet is also much calmer if you go early.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going on the Dream in July. Since we are driving to the port and staying over an extra day we aren't in any rush to get off. I'll have to remember to set out our luggage then and just keep a small backpack with the essentials.
