Delicious with many choices. We had Your Time Dining but after getting a couple of different waiters/waitresses we chose to request Arni the last 2 nights. The others were great, but loved Arni.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Arni our selected waitress was awesome. She was so friendly and remembered our name after the first night.
Roderick our cabin steward was awesome. Always smiling and greeting us willing to help in any way possible.
Lee the Cruise Director – there is not enough space to talk about him. For me, so many of his inspirational words I have taken with me. I love hearing “Had Fun and Make Memories” everyday!
Grinzz was kind and always friendly.
EVERYONE WAS THE BEST! I didn’t meet or interact with anyone that wasn’t happy and smiling. I wish the crew could do a training to people I come in contact in the world with everyday.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Loved the design of the ship and it was kept clean. The only thing that could use improving was seeing all of the food plates and drink wear in the hallways. It did make us laugh when we saw what they had been eating or drinking. It’s just sometimes it was there for more than 24 hours.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
LOVED IT!!!! LOVED IT!!! I would definitely select this cabin again. It was in the middle and close to the aft or forward. Very spacious and loved the view. We did not pick the room number but it was a sign from my husband who had passed away unexpectedly 11 weeks earlier. He passed on the 13th and he was born in 61. I guess he was with us.
Ship tip
Go to the Shows!!!! Do as much as you can. This ship has so much to offer and the crew is the best. “Have Fun and Make Memories” Lee
We did not do any excursion. During this time you weren’t able to swim at the beach because of an algae problem.
Staying in port was very clean and nice. Loved that you could walk back to the ship at any time.
We did not do any excursion.
My Favorite!!! Everything was right there. The beach, beach chairs, restaurants, and shopping. Plus I got my first passport stamp here. LOVE IT!!!!
We did not do any excursion.
Enjoyed the tender ride. It was something different. The shopping was good and fresh fruit was good and available. Next time we will venture out into the city.
We did not do any excursion.
Loved that shopping was close to port and you could go back on the ship whenever you wanted to. We did take a taxi to a beach area, Aquarium. You were provided chairs and they were sure to set them up for you but the beach was not good. You couldn’t walk in the water because of the rocks. We didn’t know and didn’t have beach shoes so couldn’t enjoy the water much.
Love the Dream. I was ready to book my second as well before I got off my first one. My friends think I am crazy, but it is the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced!!
