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

[mkmommy]

Did you see the comparison picture fron the existing ships that I posted? The new large windows are substantially larger! I'd hoped the *medium portholes on the Dream would be about this size, but from the pictures above, they seem much smaller.

Notice the difference in space at the end of the bed and the desk, from the Magic to the Dream, I wonder how much you will notice it when you are in the room?

Are you talking about how tight it looks in this picture, to walk around the main bed to get to the couch? From this angle it looks super narrow. Hopefully it's just the angle.

It does look much tighter than this one shows.

I'm loving the new clocks and table. I was always "stubbing" my toes on the old ones. Anyone else wondering if the new table is some kind of storage?

I think it is storage, or at least that's my assumption, with a top that may lift up as well. Hopefully that's one solution to make up for no steamer trunks. The table is sort of equivalent to the single steamer trunk that's shown in the picture above from the older ships, if you imagine it laying on it's side or back.

I think my DH is not going to like the new table since he's very much an anti-coffee table sort of guy. Plus it looks like it'll be very hard to move around, and seems to take up a lot of space in the room since it's more solid all the way to the floor. But we shall see since there's nothing we can do about it!

Hi everyone! Well, I just got my quote from DU for our first cruise ever. Looking at 8/25 on the Dream - 3 nights. Soooooo excited!!! The TA said we would be in room 8042. It looks like this is right next to the stairs. Is this a good room? I must admit I know NOTHING about cruises, so I'm sure I'll be lurking around and asking lots of questions over the next few months. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Here are some pictures of the special starry sky located above the upper bunkbed as shown on the DCL website stateroom pictures. My son is excited to see the constellations. I wonder if they are different ones in different rooms? This has already caused controversy for us, as my DD who sleeps on the lower bed wonders what special thing she has. (I'm touting the light above the couch unless anyone has another suggestion.)

Do you know which rooms have these? Because DS would love this

Any room that sleeps 4 or more (except maybe suites) should have them, since I think all of the upper berths have them. So if you're a family of 4 or more, you should have one!

No way to know exactly if it's a good room or bad. But, rooms close to the stairs/elevators get mixed reviews, Some do not like the additional traffic near the room others like the easy access to the elevators. Matter of personal preference.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner....how cool!!! I think you should buy some of the glow-in-the-dark stickers of stars, moons...or whatever is your daughter's favorite, and stick them under the upper bunk for her. As long as you have some baby oil to remove them and all the sticky, I don't think it would be a problem. Or just tape them up there, and then you wouldn't have the "sticky" problem.

As DCL has repeated said they don't want anything sticky or taped to the doors I don't think they would appreciate the same thing inside the cabin.

From someone who has never had a cabin with a bunk - not sure this would work, but since DCL does not want things taped to the bed, could you string the glow in the dark, soft plastic stars with a large needle and soft yarn and then tie them to the top bunk?

Just a thought.

You both are right, I wasn't thinking. I like the idea of making a strand of the stars, etc.

OR.....have the kids take turns sleeping up top.

My first thought was that maybe the table is on rollers to make it easier to move... and then I thought about it rolling all over the cabin in rough seas.

So, maybe it has locking wheels?? Gosh, I can hardly wait for those first TRs from the ship!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a whole container of glow in the dark stars. Guess we could put magnets on the backs of the stars (I have magnet tape) but they'd probably knock down easily. And I'm not sure how much light they'd get exposed to. I think my DD will just have to deal. Afterall, she'd be on a Disney cruise so she shouldn't have much to complain about!

Who knows? Anxiously awaiting the reports. I know my TA is on the christening cruise and the MV cruise, so we'll get some first hand info from her.

People on the Magic now, will see the Dream at 8AM tomorrow!

Will post photo's when I get them!

I have two close in age, boy & girl, and I know that when they were younger, there would have been some kind of argument over it regardless of the fact that they were having a blast all day long. Kids!
So what about having them trade beds every other night? If it becomes a problem, that is.

It's funny- this topic came up today (as we are discussing our summer cruise like we do on a daily basis). I was showing my two pictures of the cabin and the beds, and of course, they set in who was sleeping where (and we're not going for another 7 months!). We will do the every other night solution. They are assigned odd and even days (one child says the blessing, etc.. on days with an odd number, the other on the even number days). This is always our solution whenever we encounter controversy. All I have to say is "what day is it?" No more arguing (well there's still grumbling, but i stick to it). Now I haven't told my DS11 about the verandah (and the rule will be no sleeping outside)!

It does look much tighter than this one shows.

When the M/W beds are split they then are about as tight as the Dream picture looks. Be carefull in the dark!

The coffee table top does flip up for storage according to DCL...somewhere.

When looking at the Cat 8 photos, I like the light above the couch! Also, I like that the wall mounted lights by the bed are higher up than the table top ones on the M/W. I practically had to stuff my head and book under them to read at night!

It sure seems that the Cat 8's (technically designed for more people) seem to have less storage/drawer space.

Now I'm off to the DCL site to view all the new photos!
