We hung out by the pool and slides! We watched the hasboro game show and that was fun! We did karaoke 3 times which was always fun!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Dj Oj was awesome!! My lil ones took pictures with him!! The cruise director “Donkey the voice from above” was amazing and funny!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our head waiter Alekzander was amazing!! Our room steward Jury was so helpful and always called us by our names! The rooms were always so clean and anytime we needed him he was there!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout is the same as the breeze! It is a lil older but still a beautiful ship! Overall it was clean but u know there’s always those nasty people onboard who leave a freaking mess!! Would hate to see their houses!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was always clean thanks to Jury! Very cozy and enough space for 3

Ship tip

Have a great time and enjoy the experience!! Please tip your stewards or waiters! These people do such a great job and are away from their families for a long period at a time while we are there on vacation with our families.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Galveston is always a great place to visit! We were able to rent a lovely home and stay the day before boarding. Although the water is not as clean we still put our feet in the water.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Oh Cozumel...one of our favorite ports!! We went to Mr. Sanchos and loved it!! Will definitely go there again!!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Why do so many people dislike progreso? We actually liked it here!! Very authentic not so much touristy like Cozumel! We would go back again!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The easiest disembarkation we ever done! Was off in 5 mins. No stairs or elevators!!

Thank you for the detailed review. Super helpful! Can't wait to sail on the Dream in February! We decided to book the Steakhouse, just for the lobster. 😂

Unfortunately the included lobster is only on cruises of 6+ days now. You can purchase it though on the shorter cruises but it's not unlimited. I'm glad everything else went great!
