Review summary

One of my only complaint was how expensive the pictures were, had a group of 8 people so had many pictures and the prices were just outrageous to purchase more than one photo for budget. My favorite part was getting to take all the pictures, but the packages and individual prices were way too much when considering what I spent on mine and my partners cruise already. Also prices of beers too expensive

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was phenomenal. Never disappointed in a meal except the breakfast burritos at Blue Iguana were cold. Wish the lunch food was open later at the stations for those late risers that get a late start on breakfast. Drinks always good and drink service by Gusti was the best, had our groups name down by the first day, always quick and great drinks. Did not like that drinks had the gratuity added to them already in the bill.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness center was great, loved working out looking out at the water, pool was cold, hot tubs not hot enough

Entertainment

3 out of 5
vulgar comedians hard to watch, loved the love and marriage show

Children's Programs

no kids in the party

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Gusti-bar, Zubin, Sam, and Francisco were amazing waiters for dinner, could not have asked for a better dining experience, cannot remember room stewards name, but always helpful knowing if other memebers in the group had left our room, always said hi, room was always so neat and loved the towel animals

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
wish that the beds were actual queen beds, hard to lay with partner with the crack in the middle

Ship tip

Buy the drink package before the cruise

Ports of call

easy on and off

Montego Bay, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Dirty, did a private tour of duns river falls, as always never enough time to get to places and explore the island with short on and off the islands, people on the island very pushy, shoving items in your face/asking for money

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
awesome port, would come back and visit, friendly to tourists

Cozumel, Mexico

I agree with the vulgar comedians! We walked out of an adult show and never returned to one. We stick the with family comedy, and some still get too close to the line. With 8ppl for photos, wonder if y'all each could have purchased one & shared. I haven't been on Dream since the Hub app... if purchased on it, you can share image. We go next month; 19 days!
