Brief Dream Review 04/17 w/Pics

[smileyone]

Embarkation: We arrived via Radisson Resort at the Port shuttle bus around 12. Everything went smoothly. We waited in a line of about 20 people. Probably took 30 minutes from the time we got off the bus until we were on board.

 

The Ship: The ship is beautiful but it was not my favorite. I think I prefer the layout of the lido deck on the Conquest class ships. We still had a great time. I did love the casino area. Very flashy. The comedy club was a great addition and although we didn't hang out in the Gathering area (deck 5) it did seem to have a lot of activity. We tried the Lanai BBQ which was quesadillas and cheeseburgers and everything tasted great. Also, I enjoyed the pasta and burritos bars.

 

Excursions: Cozumel - massages & Chankanaab; Roatan - Gumbalimba Park Pirates, Monkeys, & Birds; Belize - Raiders of the Lost Mayan Cave; Costa Maya - Chaccochoben Ruins

 

Anytime Dining: This was first time trying anytime dining. We will do it again. We had the same server every night. We usually ate around 6pm and often encountered a line that generally took about ten minutes. Once we made it to the dining room, we never had to wait for a table but i did notice on several occassions that the people coming in around 7pm were given pagers. We will do anytime dining again because we enjoyed eating alone. Although we don't mind sitting with others, sometimes its nice to just be able to talk to your spouse and enjoy dinner together.

 

Debarkation: We did self assist which I was dreading since I have tried it twice before and it hadn't went smoothly. We were off the boat and thru customs within fifteen minutes. It only took that long because the escalators in Port Canaveral were down so everyone had to go down the one set of stairs.

 

Now for some pics...

This monkey was so funny because he kept trying to sleep on that branch and his head would keep rolling off then he would try again and again.

Great review with great pictures. We loved the Dream and had a blast. The comedy club was a fantastic addition.

 

We also did Chacchoben ruins. Which bus were you on? We were on the nemo colored one.

We were on the Nemo bus too. We sat right up front. We tended to wander off from the group a lot.

Yes that is deck 5. It was a mirror image on both sides of the ship. One side was smoking.

Wow, what great pictures! Thanks for posting them. I love the picture of the monkey sleeping in the tree. The ship pictures are great, really gives a feel for what the ship is like. Thanks again for posting them!

We also wandered off to take pictures in a few different places. The guide talked way too much for his own good.

 

We noticed a couple in their 20s that wandered off from the group a lot. Would that happen to be you?

Great review and amazing pictures, thanks for sharing :) I know the Serenity says "adults only retreat" do you remember the minimum age?

How was disembarking?

Another monkey lover here and what a funky looking tree!! (My sons would die if they knew I said "funky")

 

Great comments and great photos. Thanks for those of us waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and... you get it.

Thanks for posting! The pictures are awesome! Can you tell me if there are any lounger chairs near the waterworks area. I know my girls will want to play there. I'll want a lounger to relax and watch them.:cool:

I'm assuming 18 since that's what constitutes an adult.

We are 35 and 37 but most people think we are younger. I had on a baseball cap and he was probably wearing some straw type hat.
