Crowds on the Dream

[Superman81]

Hello

I am cruising with family the last week in June. This is the first time I have cruises in the summer. I have cruised in December, October, September, and April. I am sure that June will be more crowded and the boat is more likely to be full. I'm trying to figure out what to expect. Will it be too crowded to move on the deck? and shoulder to shoulder in the pool? or will there be room to enjoy everything? TIA

We were just there a couple of weeks ago, the pool was packed. But that's not hard to do, it's not very big. But you could walk around the deck just fine. The only time it was really packed was during the pirate shows. Cabana's was crowded, but not crazy packed. Have a great time!

We sailed last July and just got off the dream on Friday. Last year we did two stops at castaway cay and didn't have the day at sea. Crowds were totally manageable because people were getting off the ship every day. Last week, the only crowded day was the day at sea. Crowded, but still manageable.

I got off the Dream today. We had chairs both days at the pool, and at Castaway Cay. We had great seats all three nights to the show. The pools were full, but not shoulder to shoulder. I was surprised, on Nassau day, a lot stayed on the boat, Aquaduck line was 30-60 minutes. I truly have no comparison, but it really didn't seem overly crowded, they manage things well.

We have been on the Dream twice at the end of June and once at the end of July. Last year we did at end of June and the pools were crowded, but I agree the deck was manageable. What we found must frustrating was trying to get an elevator. Almost our whole cruise we had to end up taking the stairs, which was pretty hard with a 4 year old. Even the stairs were crowded! The only thing I can say, don't get in a big hurry. We are going on 4th Disney Dream cruise the beginning of November, so I am hoping it won't be as crowded.

all of the boats sail at full or almost full capacity every sailing

I've sailed in April and November ... Both times we were sold out (full capacity).

I call the family section pool and spa "Kids soup". (It was more quiet on Nassau day...)

Everything else was full/a bit crowded but still felt comfortable enough. We've always found room for pirate night, shows and movies we wanted to see, in Cabanas, etc.
