Review summary

I would rather be on a ship than at work. I get 3 vacations a year and I take 3 cruises a year.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went really fast and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room was great. The buffet was not that great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We took friends that enjoyed the fitness center every morning. Our guy friend was picked to do three challenges on first sea day. He rocked.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were amazing. Some of the musicians were awesome. And the DJ could play some country music once in a while to give it a little mix, but he didn’t.

Children's Programs

I did not take kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Service in the dining room was great. Every employee on the ship went above and beyond to keep the ship clean and loved talking to them all. Our steward was MIA the entire cruise. I don’t know his/ her name because we never met. I waited in my room from 6 am until 9 am in hopes that I could meet them, I went back to my room @ 9:45, and the room was cleaned. No Stewart anywhere in site.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I have been on the Dream 7 times. It is clean, but it’s deteriorating everywhere

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It is an interior room. Big enough for the 2 of us. My missing in action steward kept it clean every day.

Ship tip

I love the Dream. It’s a beautiful ship with lots of fun things to do. Join in and enjoy everything she has to offer

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
My home port.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We rented a golf cart. This was my 5 th time. Went down to the beach, got drunk, went back to the port and walked it off.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Didn’t get off the ship. My 5 th time , and it’s not for me

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We just walked around port. Went out of port and did some shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast. Went straight through
