Review summary

This was my second cruise and I'd have to say this one was better than the first which happened before all this Covid-19 mess. All staff were so friendly and the whole ship was clean. We didn't sail at 100% so less people on the ship and hardly any lines.

Embarkation

Wonderful!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All the food and drinks were tasty. I just felt like the lido buffet was not offering as much as normal. But even with that all the foods and desserts were delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did a few shows and make it with michaels

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Musicians were great, and the nightly karaoke was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff I came in contact with were great except for one working at the shops. She must've been missing home or having bad days, we encountered her twice and she was not happy either time.

Ship Quality

The port was nice, we didn't have an excursion planned so we shopped around the port. Plenty of shopping and restaurants to enjoy. Also free pools for swimming. Wish there had been close beach access.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We had an excursion booked for this stop. We visited the lamani myan temples. We had a great time. Our guides took us to several structures. The river cruise part is more like speed boat but that was fun. We got poured on heading back to the river cruise boat. Then enjoyed a nice Belizean lunch of chicken, rice and plantains. We had a very enjoyable time and would sure do it again, if that meant we'd have the same tour guides.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This port was fun, we hopped in a taxi and headed for Mr Sanchos, for what it is it was good. It's all inclusive. The swimming section I wish were a bit cleaner, a lot of seaweed trapped in the netted off area. The area outside the swimming area was so clean but no swimming allowed. The food and drinks were good as well as the entertainment. Our waiter was amazing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We self disembarked the ship, we arrived a little early back to Port and we were in our car and ready to hit the road by 8:15am.

We just got off a 8 day cruise on the Dream and I thought it very clean and maintained well by the crew. I agree there should be more options on food in the MDR. Thanks for your review

Looks like you really enjoyed your cruise, even Costa Maya. Why only 1 star?
