What do you think about this video?
Betty Seubert: WE ARE GOING ON THE DREAM ON OCT. 12 2013. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO OF THE SHIP AND ISLANDS. AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE MAN AT MILANO THAT LOOKS LIKE A STATUE. п»ї
mike green: How did you like your trip> Bruahahahaп»ї
Lolo95: Thanks for your reply. We're probably just going to end up going in August because time off school will be too hard. Too bad though it would have been funny if we met! We also leave early, we leave a 2-day travel cushion every cruise and we've been on four. Have fun on your next cruise if you do end up going! п»ї
Ed Saavy: The weather was great throughout the entire cruise. We flew into Orlando from the Northeast. Since the weather could not be predicted when we booked our cruise and to give us a travel cushion in case it was bad, we decided to leave a day early and stayed at one of the Hyatt hotels near the Orlando airport. We plan to cruise on the Dream again, perhaps in January 2013 but not sure yet. You will love it! п»ї
Lolo95: We are possibly going on this cruise January 26th 2013. I see that you went in January 2012. How was the weather? Was it cold at all and how cold/warm did it get? We might just end up going over summer but the prices just sky rocket then, so then we'll probably have to go on a different ship, but I'm hoping we won't have to do this, this ship looks so amazing! п»ї
bigtrouble72: Great video, thank you! п»ї
Ed Saavy: Accidently removed your comment. "Soooo glad I found this video. I'm going on it on April 14th. What tour company did you book with? I've heard Island Marketing is good. Any suggestions at all? When/Where do we make reservations for the other restaurants? "п»ї
Ed Saavy: @Stesie123 Hey, you will thoroughly love this cruise and the ship as well. We only did an excursion in Belize and we used the tour company that was located on the dock. I believe there was only one there. We decided to not pre-register via the cruise line for excursions since they are usually cheaper if you don't. We did sign up for the special steak dinner a few weeks prior to departure. There weren't many people there so you can probably wait until you get on board to sign up. п»ї
wshabel: Great footage! We hit up the Dream last march and can not WAIT to get back on that boat. Everything was amazing. This makes me miss it really bad lolп»ї
Ed Saavy: @neillark The food choices were great (in my opinion). There are several buffets on the Lido deck all the way through to the back of the ship so don't stop at the first one. Each one is different. Aslo, there were several stations that were 'made-to-order' stations such as the omelet station and the Mongolian grill. There's always pizza and burgers if you don't choose the buffets. The more formal dinners were nice as well. п»ї
Ed Saavy: @neillark Although it may appear that you can only order one entree from the menu, when I wanted 2 different choices, our waiter was always happy to please us. We also made reservations at the Chef's Steak House which was excellent. They take pride in providing exceptional service and the steak and lobster was great! п»ї
Ed Saavy: @neillark If you choose to buy the soda cards, chances are that your kids won't use them nearly enough to cover the cost of them. We bought them for our kids and they barely used them. Lemonade, iced tea and coffee are free and at breakfast they also have free orange juice and fruit juice. Oh yeah, hot chocolate is also free and may very well be the best I've ever tasted. If you're smart, you will take a case of water on board with you and store it in your fridge. п»ї
Neil Lark: Thanks for the Video, we are off on the Carnival Breeze around Europe in August and it is nice to see what she will look like. Was there lots of choice of places to eat etc on the ship and was the buffet restaurant good quality and choice? We are unsure about getting a soda card for our children, what was there to drink on the cruise for free, did they have lemonade etc or just water during the day and was tea and coffee available during the day for free? п»ї
billnict: We were on this same cruise; looks like you caught us on camera playing miniature gold on Day 2 at the 6:26 mark. lol Hope you all had a good time! п»ї
Ed Saavy: Also. We have yet to write a review but it will happen soon. In a nutshell, the staff, the service, the food and the entertainment on the Dream is fantastic. Since our cabin was on the spa deck, some of the spa amenities were included in our cabin price. We highly recommend the Thelossotherapy pool and the sauna room with the heated chairs. п»ї
Ed Saavy: @shantilk1 Hi and Thanks. We did not use a tour guide in Belize. Since the water at the pier is not deep enough for the ship to dock, the ship docked off-shore and we were ferried to the pier in smaller boats. The tour company is right there on the shore. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and the tour was inexpensive compared to many of the excursions offered by Carnival. п»ї
shantilk1: Great video. My husband and I along with another couple will be going on the DREAM in February for the 2nd time. Which tour company did you use in Belize and Roatan? Did you write a review of your cruise? п»ї
Holiday: We don\t make alot, but our group do get to travel frequently. Just this year we went to Bangkok to get pictures and their holiday schedules. We are still in a growing phrase so best we can aim for is break even. I think everyone have to overcome the same type of challenge when starting something new. Don\t give up!
