Thanks for a great, thorough report. Love all the pics. You have renewed my excitement for our upcoming trip. I had been feeling rather weighed down by some of the negative reports coming back. Can't wait until next week!

Not sure....sorry, I don't go near the pools during the day, I need to stay in the shade as much as possible. The adult area on deck 11 was pretty busy on the sea day though

Well, in my opinion it was fantastic!! I giggled like a little girl every single time!

But I guess like everything else, to each their own

I hope you like it!

I wouldn't put too much weight into those bad reviews, I think most of them stem from the Dream's newness. They will eventually get things running smoothly

Are we sure they were shattered? Could they have been a design feature?

Anyway, Cass - Beyond WONDERFUL trip report! You are making me SO excited for our cruise... in TWO DAYS!!!

Nope, definitely shattered. I was just reading about the concierge cabins and someone mentioned that they upgraded at port to concierge only to find out that their veranda glass was shattered and they couldn't see through it.

Awesome pictures Cass. I think you covered just about everything too...except the gift shops? Maybe I missed those pics though.

Thanks again Cass for such a great report!

I guess so. I just think of kids in warm water means--well you know. I guess the crowd made it worse for me...

No biggie, though. To each his own, I say....

Cass, sorry - another question...

On the aqua duck - when you go over the "joins" on the tube in your little boat, can you feel it?

I dont want my "dodgy" back seizing on me if its bump bump bump all the way down as I'll be laid up in bed for the rest of the week!

Like I was saying...I saw two on deck 11 and one on a concierge verandah.

I'm sure you and Rob could sneak away to the QC area

There were two places where I could definitely feel it when I went over the joints...at the very beginning and then right near the end...if you sit up a little then you won't feel it so bad. Plus when you ride with two people, you can feel it even more because of the weight

Other than that, it was good.

I have a very bad back so I know exactly what you mean!

Excellent - forewarned is forearmed

Keep the trippie coming Cass, Neil and I are loving it
