Pictures will be coming shortly. Thanks for your input on the Champagne Girls. I think the next one will be the best one.
I have SO MUCH to tell you about the Dream cruise. First of all, it was BIG and BEAUTIFUL. Second, there was a lot of people and competition. There was many long lines to be waited in.....getting onboard out in the rain for 1 1/2 hrs., in the terminal for another hour, onboard to change dining arrangements...and then they did it wrong anyway, each time you went to guest services, each time you went for a meal at a restaurant, getting Ducky to sign our lithos, forget about getting into the stores for maiden voyage merchandise....I just bought a bag on ebay because everyone horded them and I wasn't going to stand in line from 1:30pm until the stores opened at 6:30pm. Then everything didn't work well. The phone in my room, the table arrangements for dinner, ordering at dinner and getting it all wrong or not coming at all.....many bugs to be worked out.
Now that I have prefaced with the negatives.....the positives far outweighed. The boat is techno chic and gorgeous. It sparkles everywhere you look. There are many improvements, for example Shutters. We were assigned a binder, like in a library, we were Mickey Red 30 and all of our pictures were inside there. The wave phones are awesome. Every stateroom gets phones to use while roaming around the boat and they fit in our wristlet bags. There are also little sitting alcoves everywhere.....there are bars and restaurants that are incredible. The pools are beautiful. The spa is beautiful. Our verandah was HUGE!!!! We had a party out there on the last night and everyone was comfortable, not crowded. The whole thing was awesome. They need to work the bugs out and they are listening to us and making improvements. After six months, it should be perfect since there is a learning curve for many new crew members.
Just bring comfey walking shoes because you will lose weight even with all your meals.....lots of walking every day. It's a BIG BOAT!!!
I loved it and can't wait to do it in November.
It sounds like it will take a while for them to get everything running smoothly but I am glad that you still managed to stay upbeat and enjoyed your cruise! It sounds like it is a beautiful ship! What did you think of the adult pool area? I have been reading a lot of negative posts
