Review summary

Would not do this cruise again. Way too much at-sea time. In general, just a mediocre cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Chaotic with elevators - chose to use stairs instead

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Our evening dining staff was excellent. Their soups were delicious! Most of the other food was just ok.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool area was really loud with music and staff trying to keep people involved .

Entertainment

3 out of 5

DJ and individual musicians playing around the ship were pretty good. Evening shows were sub-par.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Service was what I expected.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Ship was clean, however, it is so big, I never really got the lay of the land, even after a full week onboard.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room was fine. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. The room did have an odd smell, like someone had cooked garlic in it.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Husband did the zipline - loved it. My brother and I walked around the Hip Strip. He was offered drugs no less than 4 times .

George Town, Grand Cayman

Beach is beautiful. Did not like having to shuttle from ship to shore - takes up way too much time.

Cozumel, Mexico

Went to Mr. Sanchos. So many people crowded onto so little beach, and people drinking till they puke. The water is really beautiful.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

We checked our luggage, so it was about 10 before we disembarked. Actually went very smoothly, just don't be in a hurry.

Some people would rather complain than do their research. Stay home so the rest of us can enjoy ourselves.

Planes have a lot of air time. You guys are killing me. 😂. I can’t wait for Spring Break on the Dream. Oh and my sea days.

Ships ride on water. Try a land based trip. But warning planes have a lot of air time.🤣

Too much at sea time? If you were on Dream that means you were on a 6 to 7 day cruise. So you had 3 port days. What else were they supposed to do? There wasn't anywhere else to take you.
