August 8, 2013 Dream 3 Night

[Zuzer]

We're sailing on this cruise. Anyone else?

I just booked a last minute trip (parents only!!)

 

[mrbriane]

We are on board! We are a family of 5

 

[Kurukthemal]

Us too! Three DD's, one DGrandma and Dad! Can't wait!

 

[redmomof4]

I'm thinking the ship is gonna be fairly empty! Yay! More room for all of us! Just with such a quiet meet thread and the prices still fairly low online. That's what I'm basing my predictions on. Ill be hangin out at the adult pool if ya all are there throw up a wave!

 

[Kurukthemal]

That would be great! We are not going into Nassau and just doing ship stuff on Friday because the trip is so short.

Us too! At least that's my plan right now. We actually didn't get off the ship in Nassau last time we were there either, we'll play it by ear though. Really hoping to be able to stay up later and sleep in a bit!!

It'll be me, DH, DD20 and DN17. Since my niece isn't 18, I don't know how much time we'll be spending in the adult areas. But if you see a little chunky woman with really short grey hair waving, you'll know it's me!

 

[Zuzer]

We have a cabana on the family beach that I'm most likely going to cancel. I wanted to let all of you know first, in case any of you are interested.

 

[redmomof4]

We will probably not be hanging out at the family beach, but if anyone is looking to split the cost at Serenity Bay, just let me know!!

 

[Halleann]

We will be there, cant wait!

 

[Zuzer]

Who's getting excited?! We leave for our one night stay at Old Key West tomorrow, then onto the Dream. Woo hoo!

Did everyone have a wonderful time?! We did! At the port at 1120, hardly waited to get on board, Loved the room and location (deck 10 Forward), verandah, the adult pool, the bars, mixology, martini tasting, late dinner seated with two other couples who were cruising without their teens-like us, we spent all day at serenity bay and didn't leave the ship in Nassau. We took one trip on the Aqua Duck. The banana ice cream was delicious!!!

Loved our dining team (Ranzil, Eka, & Ali) bugged Ali for two days to try to get us chocolate soufflé (we decided to skip Palo this time cuz the trip was so short) he wouldn't even try, but the AMAZING Alexander in Palo hooked us up. They set up a table for us and another couple we had been having drinks with outside at Meridian just for dessert! We hardly ever saw our stateroom host, but he still took care of us. We brought some liquor on and drank just about all of it (& then spent our fair share on drinks too)! We bought the deluxe rainforest pass (hubby had to have the scrubs) but only used it once after the spa open house, they let us book two managers specials and put us in the same room so it was essentially a couples massage-for much cheaper and, most importantly, I booked a November family trip!!

We never once ate breakfast, other than room service, never hit Cove Cafe, and missed all three shows (but have seen two of them b4). I wanted to do the Quest game the last night but did dessert that night we bought no pictures & I'm fine with that (ill buy them with the family in nov)

I can't believe how emotional I get just seeing the ship, & all bets are off, I tear up when they call my name and I hear the piano playing.
