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.

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.
Pros:
Fun for the kidsCons:

We stayed here Sept 1-2 after our cruise and were very disappointed. We arrived at 9 am and waited for a text (it never came) to tell us our rooms were ready. At 4 pm we returned to the front desk to get our room numbers and went to discover our connecting rooms also shared a large balcony with two other rooms. One party had belongings strewn all over the place and our 4 yr olds ran straight into their room. Back at reception, we made it clear that this was not acceptable and were given rather dingy looking rooms overlooking a roof that was littered with beer bottles, trash and an empty beer case. We were shocked and called the front desk to report the mess. After returning from dinner that night we discovered someone had entered our rooms and left curtains pulled back and the balcony door open. To add insult the mess was cleaned up off the roof and all piled outside our door. Another call to the front desk resulted in a bunch of excuses and a basic couldn't care less attitude. This is not a deluxe resort and I have stayed in nicer motels. The pool is great and location to Epcot and Hollywood Studios convenient but I would rather stay elsewhere and drive to the parks.
Pros:
Close to Epcot, quick boatride to Hollywood StudiosCons:

Stayed in a 2 bdrm villa Aug 23 to 29. The villa was spacious, clean and well equipped. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed ground floor in building 64 (has elevator) which was close to main pool and hospitality house. Our children (4,4,11,15,16) enjoyed the pool, slide and poolside activities while the adults relaxed on the many loungers with drink refill station close by. We mostly drove to the parks but did use bus transportation to and from Magic Kingdom which was fine going as we got on at Hospitality House then straight to the park but returning at night took forever as the bus makes five stops throughout the resort with ours being the last one. We ate at Olivia's which was good but not at the quick service which is just a walk up window. Over-all a good place to stay but not recommended without a car.
Pros:
large villas, great poolCons:

We do this dinner every trip and it's always fun. I like the new seafood bake they added. Miss the ice cream and gummy bears for the kids. The characters here are always fun, especially the step sisters, they are hysterical! And they spend a lot of time at the table. The one complaint I have is what happened to the Fairy Godmother? The past two dinners we've had the photo you always took at the start of your meal is now nothing but a photo with a painted mural. Would really like to see the Fairy Godmother come back!
Pros:
Characters are really fun hereCons:

Our 10th time enjoying this breakfast. Character interaction is always great as is the food. Servers are always so sweet. The one thing I would love to see is a little variety in the princesses you see at the two princesses breakfasts. We saw the exact same princesses at both Akershus and Cinderella's Royal Table. Why not have some of the newer princesses? Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Giselle? That would be so fun!

The food court here falls way behind the food courts at other moderate resorts. And sadly, the costs are nowhere near worth the quality. It reminded me of school cafeteria food. Service was friendly but always slow. We gave it three tries over our 8 day stay and then agreed, it just wasn't worth it. Too bad because the food courts can be so convenient for breakfast.
Pros:
Great themeingCons:

Absolutely loved the CBR. We stayed in bldg. 34 in Trinidad South from 8/23 - 8/31. The one concern I had going in was the walk to Old Port Royale. But it only took 5 minutes and it's a beautiful scenic walk. We're a fit family and it felt really good to take a walk every morning to get some coffee and breakfast. The Pirates rooms were just awesome. My 9yo and 2 yo sons are HUGE POTC fans, and they freaked out when they saw our room. My 12 yo daughter liked it just as much. Every detail was incredible. Definitely worth the extra money. We had a beautiful courtyard right outside our room where my husband and I would take a few minutes of quiet time. It was really romantic 🙂 Pool was awesome, perfect temp and again the pirate themeing was awesome. We swam every day. The only small complaint I would have (and this is being really nitpicky) the mouse keeping wasn't as fun as usual. No animal towels or stuffed animal scenes like we're used to. And they only gave us toiletries for 2 days. Also, the mattresses are pretty thin. So if you a like a super plush bed you will be disappointed. However I slept great every night as did the rest of my family. Really enjoyed our stay here!
