first timer...short review

[sonocruiser]

So just left the Disney Dream yesterday and thought I would write up a quick review of my experiences.
Here we go!

3 Night Cruise- waaaaay to short! Never again, at least 4 nights next time

Standard Veranda Room- plenty of space for 3 of us. Steward was polite, efficient. Towel animals everyday. Not bad service at all, but nothing overly special.

Dining Rooms- Loved the decor of Royal Palace, perfered the food at Animator's Palatte. Only desert I really liked was the souffle at RP. Our serving team was GREAT! Especially the Asst Server Andika. The kids couldn't wait to see him every night. On the last night they wouldn't leave until they gave him a big hug

Nassau- Didn't leave the ship.Been there before. Enjoyed a quieter ship. Kids spent time in the club. I went to the adult deck. Very nice!! Could have relaxed there all day.

Castaway Cay- One word.... AMAZING! We really enjoyed our time here. Water was cold, but we are from WI, so not a big deal for us. We snorkeled for the first time. Saw a lot of fish, surprisingly. My DN was stung by a jellyfish on the swim back to shore.

Kids Clubs- My 13 yr old had fun at the Edge. A lot of freedom for kids in this age group. I was not comfortable with that so we set up rules and she carried the wave phone. 10 yr liked the Oceaneer club/lab. I did not let her self check out.

Overall we had a great time! Im looking forward to cruising Disney again soon. If anyone has any specific questions I would be happy to answer

Sounds like a fun short stay! We are hoping to book a Disney cruise for 2017 and anxious to see how the different ages of children might enjoy the kids' clubs. We're not certain if we would want to take a 7-night cruise since this is everyone's first cruise (well except me). You mentioned 3 nights was too short so maybe we should try the 4 night cruise. I always read how the serving teams are so great with children - loved how your kids wouldn't leave without giving a hug. Thanks for sharing!
