The Dream is a beautiful ship with lots of activities. Can't wait for my next cruise.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Dining room was very nice and food was really good. Great selections and wait staff was extremely happy to see us each evening. Even the buffet was good for most other meals. The Steak House was excellent and well worth the additional money. The presentation of the smoked oysters was something to see. Took my friend for her birthday and she is still talking about how exceptional the food and service was. Can't wait to do it again.
Onboard Activities

There is something for everyone to do on board the ship regardless of their age.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The entertainment was fantastic as well as the musicians and singers around the ship.
Children's Programs
No children with us - we were both 68 years old.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All of the ship crew that waited on us, cleaned our cabin and passed us in the hallway were all so friendly and we enjoyed meeting them and finding out about their lives both on and off the ship.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Loved the ship's layout and the crew was constantly cleaning surfaces to ensure a healthy environment. Common areas were always ready for passengers to utilize.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We only asked our cabin steward to clean our Cabin once each day. The beds in our balcony room were very comfortable. For 2 people the cabin was just right for us. We were on the 6th floor and the 5th floor below us had a deck all around so we could not sit on the balcony
and look at the water below. On other cruises, I always enjoyed looking at the water next to the ship. This was my first time on the Dream. Loved everything except the balcony lack of water views - had to stand up to see pass the deck below which often had people walking or standing below our cabin. Did not know this before booking - so next time will try to get a different balcony cabin with the ocean visible while sitting.
Ship tip
Take advantage of the spa and save some money by prebooking before the cruise begins. We took the spa package but only made use of it on one sea day as there were too many other things to do on board. The passengers were very friendly and we met really fun people would didn't care about our age.
I always love visiting this port and taking the free bus ride into town. Normally I walk down to the beach and enjoy a nice meal at my favorite restaurant. Didn't make it to the beach - it was Carnival time (Fat Tuesday) and the beach area was packed so we sat at a little sidewalk restaurant about a block from the beach. Great choice as the parade came right beside our location. Floats didn't compare to any Mardi Gras parade back home but it was still fun to enjoy - especially with our location. Then we did some shopping and my friend had a massage. Afterwards we were able to catch the bus back to the ship. What a great day. Hope to book again next February during their Carnival time.
Carried our luggage off so disembarkation was easy. In customs we had a porter handled our suitcases which allowed us to bypass the people standing in the long line. Will always try to do this in the future
