Review summary

This was our first cruise post covid. We noticed several changes, some were good and some were not. We enjoyed the Dream - it was very easy to get around on. We were disappointed it did not have a Serenity pool and our room was not as cool as we would have liked, but overall it was a wonderful cruise!

The dining room meals were very good. The buffet wasn't as good as usual and seemed to have the same items each day for breakfast.

The shows were very good. I was amazed at the technical effects of the shows! The piano bar with Mark was great and the comedians were good as well.

We visited an all inclusive resort. The resort was nice, but the beach was not..... lots of shells and rocks and the water was murky with lots of seaweed the day we were there.
