gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #376 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I also think that the Cabanas on Serenity bay were all closed, I am not sure why. Since they all showed sold out on the website when I looked at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #378 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I wanted to go snorkeling in the lagoon area, but I soon noticed that everyone was wearing vests. I thought about renting one, but the water was awfully murky. My guess is that there was a lot sunscreen in that water, so I decided to just skip it. So I went around and took some extra pictures of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #379 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Initially Sarah wanted to go on the water slides, but she later said that she did not feel like getting wet again. Personally I had very little interest in getting in line for the slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #382 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We then got on another tram to head back to the ship. I could not imagine, doing that walk on a day as hot as that one. Those trams are a real blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #384 Share Posted August 25, 2013 And here we are heading back inside the ship. We decided to head upstairs and try to ride the the AquaDuck if the lines were not that bad. When you get to deck 11 in the midship elevators there is a little store that I never saw open. My guess is that they open it on sea days? That may sound a little ironic since on the Dream there is only one sea day every week. However they had some very neat items there, mostly pool/beach stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #385 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The AquaDuck line was non-existent so we rode a few times. I decided to leave to do the video tour of the Dream, but once I got to the room and changed the lens I realized how hot it was and I decided to do it later in the day when it was a little more comfortable. On the way back I got some crab claws and headed to the pool to meet with my mom and Sarah. I believe I also picked up some pizza as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #386 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think that pizza was the worst food I ate on the ship, and right now I die for a slice of that pizza :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #387 Share Posted August 25, 2013 While we were there the skies opened up and it started raining really hard. I guess we made a good decision on going to the beach early on the morning. I felt really bad for the people down at the beach. Here is a short Video. Fortunately for the people in Castaway Cay the rain did not last long and the sun was shinning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #388 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We just relaxed by pool with a few drinks and some ice cream. Mom asked for some ice cream, but I bit the end of it :D. I had a strawberry one. And this is what happens when you stay in the water for so long :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #389 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Since it had cool down a little, I went to the room to change to the Fish eye lens to do the ship tour. I found this little guy waiting for us. Video Tour of the Disney Dream Ok folks here is the video tour. You owe to yourself to watch it. I take about an hour out of my cruise just to do this set of videos, and I am very proud of them. Not only that, but these videos help you understand the layout of the ship as well as get any information that I forgot to type in here. Please watch then =) Just click on the pictures. Part 1 of 5 Part 2 of 5 Part 3 of 5 Part 4 of 5 Part 5 of 5 That is it for now folks, I hope you enjoy the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted you to know for next time, while Disney does require you wear a vest to snorkel they don't charge for the vests. You just go pick one up from the rental station or oftentimes they are hanging at the lifeguard towers. If you don't bring your own and need a mask / snorkel / fins, that you would rent. The vest is a "free" use item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambee- We are loving your review ( as always..)..love the pics of CC..it IS the best followed IMO by Half Moon Cay ( HAL)...as you say, Labadee is great, but no match for CC or HMC...GSC is mediocre and Princess Cays not bad.. we will be on the Dream 11/3...went on the Wonder in '06 and loved her, even though we have no kids, can't wait to see this bigger, newer ship!! BTW, I cannot see any video when I click on the picture..this has happened to me with ALL your video links so far...don't know why...any tips?

gambee Posted August 25, 2013 Author #398 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Our group went to Sernity Bay too back in March, but the low tide made us return to the family beach. the water was crystal clear and such a smooth sandy bottom. Did you make it over to the family beach? I love reading your review, looking forward to more. I did, but I never went in the water there. It was a quick stop for pictures. Thank you for reading the review :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
