Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

I hope being in the tube does not feel like you're in a sauna...this can be a problem with enclosed slides...and this one is clear! Bet it's going to be fun keeping the outside of the tube clean.

It is open in many places and will have COLD water running through it.

Plus the plastic would have to have some UV protections in it and that will reflect the suns rays a bit.

I'm really in the minority, but I don't like it. I think it ruins the look of the ship, but no one really asked MY opinon.
But it IS one more thing for the kids (and adults) to do.....other ships have some extra things, so now at least DCL has one more extra. I won't be found standing in a long line for it on a hot Caribbean day, though.

My kids are totally excited about it.

I'm certain that ALL kids are, and most adults. It will be fun....I just think it ruins the look of the ship, especially where it covers one of the stacks.

The problem so far, until DCL decides to change it, is that for example on Deck 9...9170 and 9670 are larger rooms with larger balconies. 9170 is a handicap room, so that makes sense, but it doesn't make sense to charge the same amount of money for 9172, 9174, 9176, 9674, and 9672 as they do for 9670...same amount of money, but one room is larger than the others.

As far as your room, 9172, I think it will still be great. It still has quite a bit deeper balcony than the other rooms that are more to the center.

I think until DCL decides to make those corner rooms a bit more expensive, it's going to be tough to nab one of them. They'll be the first to sell out.

I am even more pleased now as we have just been given this room (9670). We booked a Cat 9a GTY for the maiden voyage but have just been assigned and upgraded to 9670 this past weekend.

We are truly gobsmacked at our luck!!

Thank you to everyone who has helped with this thread .. it's taken me a while, but I've managed to read every page now!!

Any thoughts on cabin 6100? We have a hold on it right now, and will probably book it soon. It seems to be more or less in the middle, so hopefully won't bump up against the porthole areas.

Yep, just about smack-dab in the middle of the ship, no portholes around. It does connect to 6102, but connecting rooms don't bother me. I just stick a towel under the door. Pretty standard in size, I'd say comparable to Disney's old Cat 4.

Any thoughts on room 10160. It is our first cruise and it will be our honeymoon. We are going Sept 22, 2011 and I really want it to be special. Will there be a good view??

Should be a great view off the back of the ship. You can see it in several of the aft pictures, including the indexed one on the 1st page.

 

[Padilla6710]

Thanks we are so excited and really looking forward to this cruise! and to continue on our beach themed honeymoon we will be staying at the Beachclub for 5 nights afterwards!

The Heck with the outside! lets look at the inside! LOL

 

[justmestace]

She IS a beauty!! Some spaces are a bit smaller than on the older ships, and some of the decorating is a little "much", but on the whole, darn pretty!


Peter, didn't you all figure out that room is 5550?

 

[iheartdisney2]

WOW!! Thanks for spending time matching up the rooms and the pictures!

Based on the pics posted from the German website, you can definitely tell that rooms 5024 and 5524 are going to have to have their categories changed! You can see how all the other deck 5 verandah rooms have the extended verandahs, while those don't due to the partial obstruction of the ship. Anyone else notice this?

I saw that, too. I think there will be quite a few category changes.

What happened to the thread that had the new pictures posted on it? Someone had posted them from a Flickr account.

Nevermind......

The pictures aren't on the German website anymore, either. I think the person who originally posted the pictures had no intention of having people copy them and pass them all over.
I know that one of the webmasters on that board said they had tons of DIS people signing on to their board yesterday. It must have been crazy!

Just glad I logged on early today and got to see them. I was just hoping to show them tonight. I wish they had at least left the ones without people in them. We saw a friend the other day that we hadn't seen in awhile. Turned out that he had been in Germany working on The Dream! We knew he did flooring all over the place, just had no idea. He said we will be amazed at everything - pictures do it no justice. He was on board for the float out - can't see him in any of the pictures, though. He's worked on many huge cruise ships and couldn't stop raving about it. He wishes we could see the bridge - it's the only one with carpeting; and it's handmade to be a map of the world. Also, the flooring in the medical center is one of the most intricate designs he's ever done. Hopefully we'll see him again soon - I can't remember everything he was telling us - we were so excited to hear first hand reports, and he was excited that we'll be on it soon.

That's really cool! She is a pretty ship. The kids will go crazy over the kid's areas....unless they're too young to really pay much attention to detail.
Carpet in the med center....hmmmm.....as a mom, I just keep thinking of having to clean blood out of the carpet.
