Review summary

The new Disney Dream really is a dream!! It's a beautiful ship with wonderful activities for all...lots of choices for both kids and adults. My daughter loved the tween club and the pool and AquaDuck was a real winner, although the line wasn't fun! Even the port excursions were made easier by the staff and crew. However, some of the food was less than stellar quality and one or two servers seemed too rushed to give much attention. In fairness, most were at the end of their six month commitment without a day off the entire time, so I'm not sure I blame them. Clearly, Disney puts their money into families, so if you have younger children, definitely consider a Disney cruise! Worth the $$$

The best! Untouched by any other cruise line..

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Most were exceptional, only a few exeptions. I think Disney needs to work out a day off now and then.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Breathtaking! Could hardly tell the ship was moving most of the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Absolutely spectacular! Slept like baby.

Ports of call

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

5 out of 5
Make sure you snorkle and get some ribs at lunch time!! Reapply sunscreen more than you think you need, sun is very strong.
Don't Miss: Biking...do it early after docking then go for a swim in the beautiful waters. Too hot any other way!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Make sure you bargain at the Straw Market. The Conch Fritter behind the Market and next to the Hilton has a great grouper sandwich, but $$$
Don't Miss: Dolphin Encounter at Blue Lagoon

Pros: Beautiful stateroom, lots of activities for both kids and adults, ease of excursions

Cons: Inconsistency of food, difficulty with few servers

Recommends Disney Dream? Yes!
