Crusin' & Chillin' Posted January 8, 2015 #326 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi from your neighbor not that far North! Really enjoying this review. Going on the Dream for the first time in March and can't wait! We have been home for the last 2 days with no school due to the LOVELY (HA!) weather and your review is keeping me entertained! Can't wait to read the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzControl Posted January 8, 2015 #327 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thank You so much for reading my review. I am not a big fan of Bloody Mary's....never been a fan of anything with tomatoes but that does sound like a good drink. Yes I am from a small town out by Rockford and it just brutal out here today. It's nasty driving....be careful tonight if you have to drive anywhere Have enjoyed reading this!! We are going on the Dream in April. And we are from Rockford too so I completely understand wanting to be somewhere tropical right now!! We always drive on our trips, and my husband and I went on the Elation last year without the kids for our anniversary. Once we discovered that we could make it to New Orleans in a day's drive from Rockford, New Orleans has become our new favorite port (it doesn't hurt that my husband went to school for 3 years in New Orleans and looks for any excuse to go back:) Bring on the warm sunshine!!

Can't wait to read the rest! Where are you?? Thank you for reading. You will love the Dream....when are you onboard in March?? I have some friends on the March 29th cruise on the Dream. Yeah school in our little town has been cancelled for the last three days and it's already been cancelled for tomorrow. Hopefully you'll continue to enjoy my review [emoji2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You. I was in Rockford earlier today and that drive home tonight was a tough one. We drove home from New Orleans last year so yeah it can be done but it's still a long drive when there's only one driver. It's easier to fly [emoji6][emoji2] but New Orleans is a great city to visit. Another port for ya that would be close to drive to is Baltimore. We drove there in July in 1 day and it was an easy drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly11 Posted January 9, 2015 #337 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Awesome Dream (and New Orleans) review :D We are going in April, although doing a different itinerary, we are going to Montego Bay, Cozumel and Grand Caymen, just slightly different. I especially enjoyed the suggestions for restaurants in N.O., we will be staying in the French Quarter for 2 days post cruise, then half of our group of 8 (3 of our sons and one girlfriend) will be heading to Atlanta for 2 days to do some Walking Dead sightseeing (sigh, I wish I was in that group lol) and my HUGE Duck Dynasty fan husband, youngest son and neice will be heading north for 2 days of West Monroe before heading home, not sure if Im looking forward more to the cruise or to New Orleans, all I know is we are freezing up here and I cant wait for some warm sunshine!! Thank you again for all the great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted January 9, 2015 #338 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Brianna, I have just spent the last 2 hours reading your review. LOVE it so far, as I have all your others! Glad your dad recovered well! Can't do the March cruise, but maybe I could join your KREWE for your next cruise??? Sounds like you have a great time together!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawsue521 Posted January 9, 2015 #341 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh my word, you are going to LOVE it! Safe travels and have the time of your life. Are you going to drive? Also, are you planning to stay in NO prior to the cruise? I'm excited because we've never been on the Dream and it looks beautiful! I hope you end up loving to cruise as much as we do. It's pretty much addictive. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coplover Posted January 9, 2015 #342 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes, we are driving. We are heading down to NO a couple of days early so we can explore the town :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghsteelerfan Posted January 9, 2015 #343 Share Posted January 9, 2015 OMG.....it is just brutal here. I am sitting in a doctors office right now waiting on my dad to get done. We have a 30 minute drive home so I am dreading this drive. It's white out conditions in the country. Today it's sub zero cold, 40 mph winds, and snow. Check out the pic of the menu from the Wet Lizard. That'll have the ingredients on it. I can't remember what was in it but I know they were delicious. I wasn't planning on doing a cruise as soon as March (especially since I'm going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras) but I could t pass up the opportunity. It'll be weird going with friends and without my dad so I'll have to make it up to him with another cruise....hehe [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2] We are doing the 6-day itinerary to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. I didn't think to look at your picture of the menu to see what's in it, but just did. Thanks! It's got Pineapple Juice and coconut rum, so that is definitely up my ally. You'll definitely have to make it up to your dad with another cruise! :D Speaking of rum, if you like it, you may be able to get Sangster's coconut rum cream when you're in Ocho Rios on the Breeze...that stuff is SO good! Got some in Jamaica in 2007 when we were on a land vacation there since they used it at the resort but one of the employees told us to get it at the airport since it was much cheaper, so we did. It's gone now but I think I might be able to order some on-line. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
