melissa@cruisecritic Posted November 13, 2009 Author #101 Share Posted November 13, 2009 So, in the process of digging up answers to your questions, I have to be sure not to forget my own :) * Is the new steakhouse as good as the Supper Clubs of ships past? Sadly, the Chef's Art Steakhouse is booked SOLID for this two night cruise so I won't be able to try it (darn!). However, a few of the CC members I met today at the meet and greet (which was SO fun) are going -- so I'm sure they'll share the news (and I'll relay whatever I hear). * Will anyone use the corkscrew waterslide in November, in New York (especially if we DO get a nor'easter up this way?!) Not on your life. In fact, it's closed off. They opened it today solely for godchild Hailee to do her "christening" ride. She went down twice and, after it was gated off, asked her mother if they could go in the pool instead! (Um, no honey...it's 49 degrees!) It DOES look like fun, though....

melissa@cruisecritic Posted November 13, 2009 Author #102 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nice shots, Mach! :D It was so nice to finally meet you today! Folks are still boarding and I'm using my phone as a modem so, while connect minutes are free, I thought I'd put up a few pictures... A New York Dream... The Casino... Looking up from the rail on the Panorama Deck just forwar of the Ocean Plaza. Yep... the folks on the Upper Deck will probably have gawkers but from the Empress Deck up there really are no issues... The Atrium is an execise in restraint. Hues of gold and copper blend gracefully in this soaring space... The Lobby Bar and the bandstand above it...

Socref124 Posted November 13, 2009 #103 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Good morning. Booked air, made final payment now it's hotel time. Coming in a day early just in case the weather causes problems. Anyone coming in early and booking a hotel? Any suggestions? Coming in to Miami and will probably rent a car so Fort Lauderdale is okay too. Rene Unless you are planning on spending time in South Florida don't fly into Miami. Orlando International, Daytona International and Melbourne airport are all about 1 hr from Port Canaveral. It will save you a lot of time driving and a lot less traffic by avoiding Miami and Ft Lauderdale airports, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryman50 Posted November 13, 2009 #114 Share Posted November 13, 2009 This is very cool!! The cam view should be interesting as they approach the Verrazano Bridge. Please excuse spelling in title.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosaic_mom Posted November 13, 2009 #115 Share Posted November 13, 2009 This is very cool!! The cam view should be interesting as they approach the Verrazano Bridge. Please excuse spelling in title.. Any idea about how long before they pass under that bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryman50 Posted November 13, 2009 #116 Share Posted November 13, 2009 My estimate is 15, 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryman50 Posted November 13, 2009 #117 Share Posted November 13, 2009 When you pass under this bridge and you're on the top deck it's pretty incredible how close you actually get. I've done it several times but never at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john970 Posted November 13, 2009 #120 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi Mach, Melissa, and other Dreamers, I hope you enjoy every minute aboard the Dream. I have a few quick questions (only if you have the time to find out the answers). -Are the pools bigger than those on the Triumph-class ships? Are they still saltwater? -Is there or will there be a reggae band? Have they cutback with the 4 or 5 person band or with the hours... (this is one thing we LOVE about cruising)? Any major cutbacks or additions? -Do you know if there is a waiter named Roberto DeJesus onboard? He was our best waiter from all of our cruises, and we are hoping to see him when we cruise on the dream. Thanks so much, and have a great time!

barbevrn Posted November 13, 2009 #121 Share Posted November 13, 2009 http://www.infocruise.it/infoCarnival/ShipInfo.asp?name=Dream&channel=1 I wish the webcam would refresh more often! It has a great shot of the bridge right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryman50 Posted November 13, 2009 #122 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Once they pass under the bridge it won't be long before The Dream goes into open water and all I can tell you is that the remnants of IDA really did a number on the beaches here on Long Island today.
