Review summary

I hope the cruise industry can get back to pre Covid service, entertainment and quality

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation is greatly improved

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Service in the dining room certainly was not as Pre Covid cruises. At times we wondered where our server had gone.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Fitness center on Dream is tiny! I did enjoy the large slide.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Only saw one stage show. This was the most visible cutback. Sad.

Children's Programs

No kids in my party

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Cabin steward Riyan was excellent and friendly. Waiters would get a generous 4 out of 10.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Dream is small enough it’s easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was comfortable and quiet and we enjoyed our balcony

Ship tip

Buffets get very busy at peak times.

Thanks for your review. I’m lucky if I get MrMargie to go to one show with me so he would be thrilled on the Dream right now lol.
