We ran into Brent many times on board. Sure you all know this my now, but he said that Rachel from the Wonder is going to be the Cruise Director on the Dream. And he will be on the Dream for the first two weeks to work behind the scenes.

We also have another picture that isnt blurry that i will find.

Sienna's Daddy took her too Vista to get her nails painted ($16- which is why it was Daddy and not me who took her) But she LOVED it.

Chase would not go near the characters, but as you can see Sienna has no issues.

To anyone going on a Western Caribbean cruise dont forget that you have to move your clocks back an hour because you change time zones. Our kids adjusted very well to the time change on the boat even though they dont do so well with it at home. I would certainly recommend bringing a watch or clock so you can tell the time more easily. We often used the tv to get the right time.

Day 4 Grand Cayman.

We did not book any excursions this cruise. We found it very enjoyable to be on the ship when it was near empty. We didn't even get off the boat in Grand Cayman. This was the only day it rained so we went to the arcade for the first time. We spent too much money on games that won the kids stuffed animals that they didn't need. And that I didn't need to have to try to get in the suitcases either, but they had a blast so it was all worth it.

Thanks so much for posting your report. I got to book my excursions for our Feb. Western cruise today and your report is really getting me excited for our trip. Cant wait to hear more

 

[CowboyPrincess]

Thank you for your comments. We had a wonderful vacation as will you. I promise to finish this report before your cruise . Sorry we did'nt go onany excursions so I can't help you with that. There were a lot of concerns with the Magic after dry dock, and we did have minor issues, but everything we saw was handled wonderfully by Disney.

hoping you can help.....on this Western cruise...is there a CUSTOMS stop that takes place.....on our Eastern cruise, 1 morning we ALL had to get up SUPPPERR early to be *carded* on the ship for customs. Do they do this on the western?

 

[CowboyPrincess]

We did not have to do that this cruise. I thought that they used to do that on one of the stops on the Eastern but that it has been stopped. So i doubt you will have to do it on your cruise.

Great report so far! It's so funny - we're staying in 7044 in less than 2 weeks!! So tell me - how was the room? Is it a clear verandah or a solid white wall verandah? I'm sorry if you posted a pic already - sometimes the dis won't let me see pics posted in a thread.
