Review summary
We really had a good experience on the Dream. Having 2 cabins to house 2 adults and 2 teens worked well. Free style dining (no set dining time or place) fit our relaxed approach to vacationing. The staff was superb, friendly, helpful and efficient. We appreciated the variety of excursion options and all of our trips to shore were delightful. One of the best deals on board was the "Teen Passport", a coupon book with 20 tickets for non-alcoholic beverages for the kids. My son really loved the smoothies and "Tom and Cherry" drinks and my daughter enjoyed the virgin Pina Coladas. The biggest disappointment was the poor communication regarding the itinerary. According to the ship's staff, one of the advertized stops was eliminated last year and yet our final travel documents included all 4 stops. We did not learn that we would not stop at Cancun until we were on board. It was disturbing to learn we were charged port fees for Cancun (later credited to our account). We really felt a bait and switch sales approach was used.Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
Cancun, Mexico

Pros: Free style dining. Choosing where and when we wanted to eat was great.
Cons: Itinerary changed to 3 stops in the fall but the web site continued to advertize 4 stops for this cruise.
