we have been on the Dream for the first xmas cruise a couple of times and really wanted to do so again in 2017. The week of nov 10th is our last week we can before my wife's holiday craft fair scramble begins. This yr DCL rented the ship out to a group so you can't book it. We had to book the week before. Boo! And not boo as in Halloween but boo as in no theme. My wife hated the Halloween cruise we did but I thought it was ok.
