The emcee was actually a bit annoying and the story a bit cliché but I enjoyed the scenes and the many characters. The music was good and the pace kept the show interesting and entertaining even for our little ones.
Pros:
Great scenes from the classicsCons:

My husband and I have three children (4,4,16) and have never taken a vacation without them so this was perfect for us. With the kids off at their clubs we enjoyed some very quiet adult space. We were here on the Nassau morning so I'm not sure if it's always this empty but we found loungers right next to the pool and relaxed for two whole hours. We also had a visit from Donald who happily posed for pictures with us.

Our 4 year old twins loved the club and spent more time here than we were expecting. So much that we didn't get to do the things we were planning on doing with them both on the ship and Castaway Cay. They begged us to go to the club and we let them. There was lots to do like dancing, crafts, computers, movies and games galore. The security is top notch and with the bands,gates and passwords I felt comfortable leaving them. They ate lunch here one day and spent several hours at the club on Castaway Cay as well. There they played in the sand and were taken over to Cookies for lunch. When we picked them up they were playing water games with the counsellors. Both keep asking when they can go on Mickey's boat again.
Pros:
Lots to doCons:

We were worried about taking our 15 year old on a cruise as we thought he might be bored but he went to Vibe on the first night and met some nice kids and we didn't see him except for dinner each night. We checked out the space at the open house without our son as he thought it was embarrassing and found the space amazing. Our son said the counsellors were fun and they planned lots of activities with them. He went to movies, played video games and they even hung out as a group on Castaway Cay.

My husband, three children and I had connecting staterooms 10624 and 10626 which were deluxe family staterooms each capable of sleeping five guests. We didn't want to feel cramped so we booked two rooms and are glad we did. We could put our 4 yr olds to bed in one room and watch TV or sit on the balcony in the other room. There is plenty of storage and the split bathrooms are great but I don't think I would want to have 5 people in one stateroom. Only disappointment was that we were told the verandahs would be connecting and they weren't. None of the balconies on deck 10 are connecting so I'm not sure why a reservationist would not know that. We were in a great location as we could walk up one flight for the fast food places, drinks and pools. We did here a fair bit of noise from above, mostly chairs being dragged.

We just returned from our first Disney cruise on the Dream and had a wonderful time. Husband and I sailed with our three sons (16,4,4) and we all agreed it was the perfect vacation. The ship was immaculate and the staff were amazing. From cleaners, guest services, dining rooms to security everyone was helpful and courteous. I was particularly amazed when one of our twins got lost in Cabanas and upon approaching a staff member there was an immediate jump into action and with one call staff everywhere were looking for him. He was found within a few minuets. It was handled with care and professionalism. Disney knows how to take care of every detail and we will be cruising with them again soon.

This was my favourite of the three restaurants on the Dream. Dinner our first night was wonderful. We all had the beef filet and it was delicious. We had a table looking out a portal with gorgeous views. We also enjoyed a sit down lunch here one day and had the best halibut steak I have ever tasted with key lime pie for dessert.
Pros:
Elegant and outstanding foodCons:

We ate here the last night of our cruise and also had breakfast here on our last morning. The restaurant is beautiful but I found the tables just too close together. The food was very good. I had pork tenderloin, son had chicken and husband had beef and it was all very tasty. The breakfast served on the last morning was sit down and simple traditional fare but quite good as well.
Pros:
Food and themingCons:

We had our first lunch on board and one breakfast here during our 3-day cruise and found the food to be good. There was a great selection and some of our favourites were lamb chop and peel and eat shrimp. There was also great selection of fresh fruit. There is both indoor and outdoor seating though securing a table can be difficult.
Pros:
Great varietyCons:

Of the three restaurants on the Dream this was our least favourite as far as foo quality. I had a steak that was terrible, overcooked and cold. The interaction with crush was okay but the drawing on place mats that are shown later on the screens never happened. This was pirate night but that was a big disappointment as well. I thought that most guests would dress up and the servers got into the theme but none of that happened. Only a few people, mostly kids, dressed up and there was no Caribbean themed food either.
