We cruised on the Dream right before everything shut down and felt like the food was pretty terrible as well. We actually left the dining room a few times (felt horrible about it but literally couldn’t eat the food). That was pre-Covid also. 😬

It was a great cruise overall. MDR food was not as good as before and compared to the sunrise which I had just been on 3 weeks before this. Comedy shows we’re funny and I appreciate that the family shows are at 8&9 so we could make them after dinner.

Thank goodness we could cruise again

Very relaxing
