Review summary

The Dream is a beautiful ship and we enjoyed it immensely. So glad to be back on a ship!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was quick and orderly. We were a little disappointed that they were not doing priority boarding for platinum and diamond, but it went very well regardless.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dining room food was the same as always. Very good, but not great.

The Chef's Art Steakhouse

5 out of 5

Steakhouse was wonderful! We had never been there before and it was worth the extra money!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Stage shows were good but not fantastic. They are entertaining and worth the time so go and enjoy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The wrap around promenade deck on 5 was closed on the forward portion of the ship. This may have something to do with the pandemic, but was disappointing nonetheless since this is one of my favorite features of the Dream class ships. Ship was very clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Beautiful balcony stateroom. Very clean and quiet.

Ship tip

Do yourself a favor and eat in the steakhouse! If you’ve never been to an art auction, give it a try. We wound up buying a couple of pieces.

Thumbs up

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Piece of cake! We were on the road by 9am.
