Disney Dream transatlantic October 20 2024

Did it seem like most of work was completed in drydock or are they still working on things crossing the Atlantic?

The only work I see is painting the railings on Deck 4. We’re getting another fireworks show! So that’s fun. Pirate show still the same. That could use a refresh. Noticed that a card comes with Room Service asking you to CALL to get the tray picked up. TV channels are coming in clear and WiFi (I have done the Basic Surf ($28) every 3rd day (from noon to noon) has been really decent. But passenger count has been revised to 2600. Characters in Halloween outfits - orange and black. So far have just seen Mickey & Minnie. There is Trick or Treating on one side of Cabanas on Halloween evening. Lots of door decorations. I tried the Mexican Cantina thing. Not great. Food just isn’t hot enough IMHO. Been a smattering of curry offerings for lunch/ dinner in MDR. A passenger at an adjoining table got kicked off the ship at the first port stop but can’t find out why. ??? Ate at Palo 2 nights ago. Really lovely. Ask for Victor!

Carpet, wall covering, television (LG) are all new BUT it’s the same pattern so it looks the same, but is new. Sheets are “Frette for Disney”. Funnelvision insanely loud. Palo dinner was great - we had Victor. Very charming. Nothing for a cough or cold in the shop. Bring your own cough drops OTC medication if you think you’ll need it. Auto open doors - new since MY last cruise. Ice cream dispensers seem repositioned further back. Much tougher for little ones to reach without help. Characters in abundance. Food seems better - more international options.

YAY!! That sounds great, thankyou for sharing with us! We will be on the next cruise! 2 more days!

Noooo! That means I have to get OFF in 2 more days! (Not my cabin . . )

Thanks for the update.

Looks like another example of door decoration overkill.

Yes, the enthusiasm is heading down the hallway . . .

Doesn't decorating down the hall make it harder for the crew to access those panels? The crew works so hard I would hate to make their job harder.

Thank you for this info! We will be on the Fantasy WBTA next year and I was hoping there would still be some Halloween things.

Exactly

End of 2025 Europe season. A year left with Fantasy as she was built. Thankfully I have one more cruise on her this winter.

We're on the EBTA next year, so we get one more (good!) sailing with her as well before the changes.
