Just off the Dream

[ejchron]

We did the Cozumel/Costa Maya/Roatan run. Let me know if you have questions.

[Lkozinko]

Did you try the Chef's Table?

We were on the same cruise so fire away.

I was on the cruise before you to Key West, Freeport Bahamas and Nassau Bahamas

How was Roatan? I will be hitting that port in June on Dream. What cabins were you guys in? Roatan we are thinking about skipping over to Little French Key, did y'all do that?

We did a B2B with the Key West leg.

We didn't do the Chef's Table. Sorry.

 

We had Cabins 2306 (Cove Balcony) and 2296 (interior). This was our second time on the Dream. We did the Key West/Bahamas run last May. Love the cove balconies. Preferably one that is forward of the midship elevators (this makes embarking/disembarking very convenient).

 

Roatan is one of my favorites. We've been there twice. Used Victor Bodden both times. We had a van/driver for the entire day, zip lines, monkeys, sightseeing, lunch at a local restaurant at the West End. Victor's team does an excellent job and is very cost effective.

Was it warm enough to swim by the second day?

Did anyone die? If so tell me exactly everything that happened.

Any recommendations for New Orleans? We are there feb 19th for three days prior to cruise

Did your cove balcony have a mini fridge? Is that what they mean by mini bar? On Elation we did not have one and it is the one thing I really wish the cabin had. Any secret places you found on the ship? I hear Tandoori is amazing if you like Indian food. I am planning on running there as soon as we get on the boat!

Is the steakhouse worth the $$$$? We sail on the Dream Labor Day.

I didn't hear that anyone died but I did hear a bright star call one day. Never heard any more about it.

 

It was warm enough to swim in Costa Maya (2nd port). Lots of people swimming in Roatan as well.

 

Our cove balcony had a mini-fridge. It was stocked well (mini-bar).

 

We ate at Tandoor every day. I really miss it :)

In NOLA, go to the WWII Museum. Worth every penny and then some.

 

Get tacos from Taceaux Loceaux. It's a truck. You can find them on Facebook. Message them and get their location. Well worth the detective work to find them. Amazing gourmet tacos. Rivals the original Torchy's in Austin.

 

St. James Cheese Company for lunch. Amazing sandwiches and they make their own pickles in-house. Go early and be prepared to wait.

 

I think Cafe Beignet is better than Cafe du Monde. Less crowded too. Try to avoid the cliche NOLA restaurants. Most of them are not as good as people say they are. I refuse to eat in a chain restaurant.

Did you have the FTTF? We have it for our sailing and wondered how smooth/beneficial it was if you had it?
