Hi All! Never joined a DIS discussion board before, but here I am.
This will be our 5th
DCL cruise, 4th on the Dream. For those that haven't been, Christmas time is BEAUTIFUL on board. Our daughter will be one-and-a-half on this cruise. We've also convinced my sister in law and her family to join us. It will be their first. I've been bouncing off the walls the past few days about the cruise. Getting ready to book Palo and all the other fun stuff. Joined the FB group just a few minutes ago. Still considering doing FE. We've never done it before, but it sounds like fun! A must do on the ship is the the adults only behind the scenes tour. I believe it's called "Making the Dream". All kinds of cool facts about DCL and the Dream. Most helpful thing I've learned from it in the past is how to know where you are and which direction you are headed when on the interior of the ship just by looking at the carpet. The floors in the hallways have stars on them. The tip of the star points forward (front of ship). Also, when you are near the elevators, look at the carpet. If you are at the aft elevators, the floor design is yellow (sand). Mid ship is blue (water). Forward elevators have red carpeting design (blood, you've swam out too far and were bit by a shark).
This was very helpful multiple times. Also, go to the mid ship elevators. Wait for the one that is on the starboard side (right if you're facing forward) and it's the most forward of the 2 or 3 elevators. It's the only elevator that will take you to Outlook. A quiet, hidden gem on deck 14. We love to hang out there and watch the sun set. There is rarely anyone up there and it has beautiful views. There is also a baby grand up there in case you get the hankering. So yeah, that's a bit of my obsessive craziness.
Let me now if you need anything.
