Check to make sure other cabins are both above and below yours. You do not want to be close to the disco, or piano bar.

Make sure you also get the consent-to-obtain-medical-services form.

You are platinum based on the number of cruises (old style) or nights cruised (new method). However, keep your own sign and sail cards, and printouts of cruises.

 

Sometimes cruises disappear from your records, and you need to re-prove your status.

The other show is 8 More Seconds, which is a country show. It's a very entertaining show as well. The fiddle player from Black Jack Band plays on stage during this show, and even does a couple songs alone on stage, including The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

 

The Fiddle player from Black Jack band was amazing! Just excellent!

[quote name='Stateroom_Sailor']The new menu has both, for example:

Salmon, Chicken, Steak, Pork Chops

Sides: Corn & Veggies, Double Baked Potato, Beans, Gold Potatos, Salad

But that same night you can order alligator fritters and Mahi Mahi![/QUOTE]

I am really hoping that they offer a vegetarian option.

They fill up especially fast when they cancel one of the 2 shows per night, and tell everyone to attend just the one show.

 

The break dancing guys were terrific! They had 2 shows on the last night, in the atrium lobby. Get there early.

And the 18 year olds don't want to sit next to their moms when they hear the dirty jokes.......

Colorado Kat, is it true that the Dream missed both Belize and Roatan last week?

 

Yup. We didn't sail till 7 pm, so we sat in the Terminal an extra 3 hours before boarding. They said it was for routine maintenance, but found out later it was cleaning for noro-virus. More than willing to wait for that cleaning.

 

Rough seas, and rain daily. Missed Belize & Roatan. (We had elaborate plans for both those days.) For Costa Maya, we didn't even get out of bed till ship docked, since we had gotten up early to prep for the previous 2 days.

 

Cancelled a couple of shows due to rocking. First 2 comedians were good, but second 2 comedians never made it on board. Outer decks were closed quite often, along with pool & hot-tubs. Very crowded in inside areas. Even closed the Thalossotherapy pool at least one day.

 

We still had a fun cruise, but even a little bit of sunshine would have made us feel better. Oh well.

Last week on the Dream, we all got a glass of champagne for dinner one night. Can't recall if it was an Elegant night. Assumed it was because we missed 2 ports.

How severe is the allergy? Can he sit at a table with others eating the forbidden items?

 

If you need, you can request a table for 2.

Do they have a assigned area for priority , FTTF and do you go through security line first ? The luggage area when returning is it the airport conveyer type or all luggage on floor area.

 

Just off the Dream Saturday. We are platinum, and were directed to a shorter security line. Past security, and directed to a large desk outside the platinum/diamond lounge. Checked in quickly, and sat down. Had water and chips, but they also had the same snacks for everyone outside.

 

After waiting a while in the comfy seats, they called the Diamonds to line up, and Platinum after them. (I thought FTTF was in same room with us?) Up the escalators, and packed like sardines into another seating area with plain metal chairs. Very minimal space for carry-on luggage. Sat there for another hour, before they let us onto the Dream.

He will be able to attend. 18 is only a suggested age for comedy anyway.

If you have the drinks in it you would have to roll it yourself.

At sailaway, there are waiters all over carrying trays of drinks. But nothing is free! It's a bit misleading.

Just got off the Dream Saturday. What do you want to know? Not sure how to scan the Fun-times. My scanner is small. I plan on writing up a review soon.

 

When will you sail? Bob the piano bar guy is great - he leaves sometime in May.

If a person is driving, instead of flying to port, I have seen them load up a wheeled luggage trolley with drinks for the whole group, and one person wheels it on-board. Mix & match is fine.

Last week in Florida I picked up a handy little tote bag when I got my wine. Fabric, holds 4 bottles, separated by dividers. I had brought the neoprene bottle holders as well.

 

So 3 bottles in neoprene, and tucked inside the bottle carrier to keep everything upright.

 

Slight problem boarding at Cape Canaveral. I had 3 bottles for 3 of us, but I was carrying everything. Tried to go in same security line, but my daughters went in one line, and I was ordered to go in another. No problem, till the new security guy gave me a hard time for being in a different line than my daughters, since I had the 3 bottles. Can't please everyone!

Depending on who wants to order Cheers, I would split the cabins that way.

Well, they still have a Captain;s Celebration. No to the free drinks, but the drinks you order and pay for are $1 off per drink.

We were on that cruise too. I skipped the first deck party, since it was cold and yucky out, but went to the second. We had been cooped up inside the ship, so the deck party was pretty wild.

 

They kept closing some of the outside decks, hot tubs and swimming pools. Cancelled a couple of shows. Second 2 comedians never made it to the ship.

 

Piano Bar guy Bob was fantastic! We had to miss Belize and Roatan, where we had very elaborate plans for excursions. Rained in both Cozumel and Costa Maya. Still a fun cruise.

Kiss On the Lips. It's a mix of peach and Mango flavors.

I leave auto tips on, and tip extra if I feel it is warranted. We had Anytime dining on our recent cruise, and asked for the same wait staff every evening. I tipped extra in cash at the end, and left an envelope for our steward.

 

I also tip the piano bar player, and various drink waiters. In cash.

The piano bar guy is Bob, and he is a lot of fun. Carry some $1s to tip him to play specific songs.

 

If you have Anytime dining, ask for Minore's station - he is fabulous and adorable.

 

Just got off the Dream Sat.

I've seen them. They are typically very quiet, since there are not many cabins in a row.

My question, as of right now there are 7 of us that will be travelling. If we book three rooms and later one more traveler decides to join us, can they be added to one of our three staterooms or will they have to book completely different stateroom

 

Typically, they will only book 3 in a room with 3 beds, and 4 in a 4 bed room. So you may have to switch rooms.
