Just got off Dream - any questions?

[LosAngelesRunner]

Just got off this week’s 5 day Dream Western Caribbean that had a slight adjustment due to Hurricane Nicole. Happy to answer any questions if anyone’s curious. I know that sort of thing was helpful for me, and I probably don’t have time to write a full trip report - but if anyone has lingering Dream questions I’m here to answer.

I will say - the crew I spoke with said it was a fuller sailing than as of late (but not near capacity still). It felt like there were a ton of WDW cast members as well as family of crew onboard based on poolside conversations!

Otherwise, we had a truly delightful cruise and I’m already looking forward to the next one.

What night was Beauty and the Beast shown? I keep getting conflicting info.
How was the food?

Thanks!

Beauty and the Beast was on our third night! The show order was Golden Mickeys, magician/comedian, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio (movie night), then Believe.

Food was solid - but Palo was outstanding. I found the MDR food to get better throughout the week, as we were much happier the final night than the first. The buffet quality was better at breakfast than lunch in my opinion.

Pirates night was our 4th night right after Cozumel. No Pirates buffet sadly!

Merrytime Cruise yet?

I think they're turning it to Merrytime this weekend! There was a Turner Classic Movie contract sailing right after ours so sadly they didn't have decorations up, though they were in the process of building the gingerbread house in the atrium

Thank you ! We are on a 5 night western in Jan and I was wondering about the entertainment rotation.

Is the Dole whip machine “fixed” yet?

Is the Dole whip machine “fixed” yet?

I don't think it was but we didn't go out of our way to check on it. I just didn't see any options when we went by where it normally is! Though if someone else says that it's working - I wouldn't doubt that I just missed it ha.

How was the embarkation and disembarkation process in Miami. I've heard stories of long delays associated with both.

I'd like to know the answer also.

We are on the Turner classic movie cruise, on the dream, returning to Miami tomorrow. Embarkation was great but the ship isn’t even half full. Unusual for a TCM cruise. Service, food has been good. Leaving castaway cay now. Absolutely beautiful day. The water was perfect. The slides were great. And so nice not to be crowded. They just uncovered the trees and gingerbread houses in the lobby so the next cruise should be in full Christmas mode. This TCM cruise has Pat Boone (absolutely delightful), Chevy chase (out and about, he was hanging at the cove pool yesterday and we had lunch next to him at castaway cay), richard Dreyfus and lanie Kazan, both friendly with great stories. It’s our 8th TCM cruise. We hope there’s one next year.
