This is just my thoughts and not an official trip report because I am HORRIBLE at writing and do not think it would turn out well. :)

Let me start by saying that last year on went on my first cruise ever and got off and said I would NEVER cruise again!!(it was not a Disney cruise)
Well my Step Mom called in Feb and said she wanted to take all the siblings and family on a cruise for my Dad's 65 birthday. How could I say no??!! :)

We went on the Disney Dream April 25.
We arrived at the terminal and right there it was soooo much nicer then the terminal of the cruise we did last year.
When we walked on I couldnt believe the BEAUTIFUL lobby!! AMAZING!! Pictures do not do it justice you have to see it!!
We got our rooms oops Cabins at 1:30 I walked in and couldnt believe how big it was. We were in 8102 and the two cabin next to us were all our family so they took down the partitions so we had one big balcony!! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!
These cabins are soooo big!! Tons of room and love the seperate bathrooms.

Aquaduck was so fun and we enjoyed both the adult pool area/bars and family area. Enjoyed wathching Disney movies while hanging in the sun enjoying a cold beverage.

Fast food and Cabbannas buffet was very good, wish Cabbanas buffet was an option at night also. My least favorite Mdr was animators, the others were good.
The buffet on CC was good I loved the spicy chicken sandwich and the Margaritas were delicious!!

pirate night fireworks show as sooo good felt I was in Disney World not the middle of the ocean. :)

We never got to check out any of the clubs too tired, definetly want to next trip we did get to visit them when we boarded and they look really cool. We did watch Oz and that was so neat beautiful theater.

I am ready to plan my next trip soooooooooooooooo much fun! :)

were surprised at how large the room was.



We had three cabins in a row so they removed the partitions so we had one big balcony.

Yes the open balcony was very convient we could have coffee together in the mornings and drinks at night.

So glad you had a great time! I went on my first Disney Cruise on April 6th with the Fantasy and had the most amazing time! My partner and I went for my birthday and we were so excited we booked our next one next year on the 12-night Eastbound Transatlantic in May.

We live in Orlando already so we may even sneak a 3 night somewhere in the Fall before our cruise. I have done an NCL cruise before that around Hawaii which was fun, but I did not enjoy being on the boat as much. I think we went to sleep by 10pm most of the nights.
