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

[gerberdaisy1234]

I have a question about rooms in the 6070-6076 range. Our other two cruises we were midship (right). These look closer to the front (and left side) and right next to the main elevators/stairs. Has anyone stayed that close to the main elevators/stairs? Is it a good thing or a bad?

Thanks!

To me those rooms look just a bit forward of mid-ship. I use this link to compare floors on the dream and if you compare those rooms to the entrance lobby on deck 3 you see that they're just a little toward the forward end.

We have 6084 on Jan 30 and I consider it mid-ship. Regardless, I've stayed forward before and loved it, we were right below the adult pool and the spa.
I know I have not liked staying Aft due to engine noise.
Hope that helps.

On the Dream, they've pushed the aft elevators back a bit, and the midship elevators forward a bit, which puts a lot of distance between the aft and midship elevators, and very little distance between the forward and midship elevators. So it's hard to judge "midship" by proximity to the midship elevators anymore, if you're looking for true midship.

The Dream has more of the activities and restaurants near the midship elevators, and has moved the night clubs aft. So being near the midship elevators is probably a convenient place to be. Given you're so close to the forward elevators, they should be a good alternative if the midship ones get crowded. And they seem to have redesigned the midship elevators to hopefully ease some of the congestion and problems on the Magic/Wonder given the small midship elevators that were spaced too far apart to enable you to get from one side to the other depending on which elevator arrived first.

So I think it looks like a pretty good location. You're currently above the port adventures desk which shouldn't be extremely noisy. If you move much further forward from where you are, you'd be approaching the Buena Vista Theatre beneath you, but currently you have restrooms that buffer you from the theatre so I think you're good.

If you move across the ship from where you are, you'd be above conference rooms, which should also be quiet depending on what's going on in there.

Thank you for the help. I guess it would be fun to see things from the other side of the ship. I don't think any rooms are available on other side (but they do sound nice and quiet-above conference rooms). We like to use the stairs a lot so it might be nice to be so close.

For our sailing on the Dream, we have cabin 7584. What I have not been able to find is a deck plan that shows clearly the cabins that might have one of the walls that have cables and or water lines running between them and their neighbor. I had been told that those cabins on the Magic and Wonder could be a bit noisy. I would like to avoid one of those, but I can't tell anything from the few deck-plans I have seen so far, they are just too small for my old eyes to figure it out.

Well, what do ya know! We'll be in 7584 on the Dream in April and will be glad to report back to you.

I'm just glad that a person in a wheelchair can see out on the balconies at the back of the ship. We have always complained about the solid metal wall on the balcony of the handicapped accessible rooms on the Magic and Wonder. We purposely booked an accessible room on the port midship for the maiden voyage.

Hi Connie! We expect a full report on your cabin and others!

I haven't seen any deck plans of the Dream with that detail on them. Heck, we have a hard enough time finding two deck plans that agree completely with each other, much less with the virtual deck plan on the DCL website. Let us know if you find the type of plan you're looking for!

I agree, there's not much detail on the maps. I can't even find where the laundry rooms are.

The large travel brochure/book that I have doesn't show this kind of detail, either.

Well looks like we have connecting rooms 9174 and 9176. What do you think? I wonder if it will have a divider? If not, cool, more room. If so, cool more privacy. If there is a divider, I hope that the deck connects too.

HallsofVA thanks for this thread, your posts, your opinions and your humor!

That's awesome! You have half of the back of the ship! The dividers are in place, but are supposed to be able to be opened between connecting rooms, so should hopefully be your choice whether to open them or not.

Will the Fantasy have the same layout/deck plans as the Dream? So if we figure out the "perfect" room on the Dream will it be the same on the Fantasy?

Thanks
