Back from cruise #3 on the Dream

[hcox31]

Had a phenomenal time on our land and sea vacation! It was hot as Hades in WDW and I was soooooo glad to get on the ship last Monday. We had stateroom 5652, which has the extended verandah which was AMAZING. Loved it. It was our first verandah room and I don't think I can ever go back to an oceanview.

Our servers were phenomenal. Nigel and I'Negeah. We had a particularly tired and cranky 4 year old the first two nights, so they sent up my husband's dinner from the MDR for him each night. They were fabulous and wouldn't hesitate to ask for them again.

Weather was near perfect, only a couple of drops of rain on Castaway in the late afternoon.

My only disappointment is once again the Shutters photography. I had checked on day 2 for our photos and all were missing from the first 2 days. She was able to find them after looking at the hard copies in the little books for our stateroom. I didn't check again and we are missing all of our photos from day 4. Multiple people in our cruise group are reporting the same. One person has over 50 photos missing. With the money Disney brings in on these cruises surely they can do something about Shutters (I know Shutters is not Disney related or whatever). If Disney can do the memory maker in the park, there has to be a way for them to take over the ship photos.

Other than that... the countdown starts for Cruise 4 in March on the Fantasy.

Happy to hear you had fun. I just wrapped up cruise #1 last week on Dream and am planning #2 soon. How did you get from WDW to PC? Is there a direct bus from resorts to PC?

Yes, there is bus transportation from the WDW property hotels directly to the port. We used it and it was super easy and convenient. Bus came directly to our hotel.

Yes you can get the dcl bus shuttle from the resort. It’s $35 per person each way. ($70 roundtrip per person). You have to make prior arrangements and pay in advance. The resort bus does not arrive at the port until later...generally 12:00-2:00pm. You never know when you will get there as it depends on how many other resorts they have to go to to pick up other passengers.

We didn't use DCL transportation. We had a party of 9 and rented a van through FL tours. They were great, prompt and waaaaay cheaper than DCL.

We were on that cruise too and I agree, it was a wonderful cruise!
