We boarded the ship and the first place they took us was the Walt Disney Theatre. Our guide (I forget her name but she worked for
DCL) wanted to take us inside but we werent allowed because of rehearsals. We came back again later but we were again denied. Everything was set up for that nights show, The Golden Mickeys. If any of you have ever sailed on a DCL cruise you know that the entertainment is top notch. If youve never sailed with DCL well then what are you waiting for??
We were taken up to the pool deck next and the first thing I spotted was this Carnival ship. How dare you dock next to the Dream?? Seriously I think their ships are really ugly. Sorry to any Carnival fans out there. It didnt look like very many people were onboard that ship. Not surprising given all the problems Carnival has been having this year.
The adult pool. I love that the bar is part of the pool. They really improved upon the Magic & Wonders adult pool IMO.
I was dying to go on the Aquaduck but sadly we had no time.
Kids Nemo themed splash area near the family pool. They turned the water on right as we were walking by.
Next up were tours of Remy and Palo. Both are beautiful. Ive never been to Remy since thats only on the Dream & Fantasy but I have been to Palo on the Magic. Delicious! Well worth the cover charge.
Palo
Remy. Notice in the second picture the carving of the chair. Can you spot our little rodent chef?
So much wine!
Back outside to see the sports deck. Goofy themed mini-golf. The cute thing about this is that the courses are marked with Goofy and Maxs shoe prints. You can stand on them and try to hit the ball down the course just like they did!
We toured the kids areas next. I thought this little hand washing machines were awesome. The kids stick their hands into it, water shoots up, swirls around, and cleans their hands! Best of all their kid height!
This was by far my favorite room in the kids area.
Yes the kids can change the parts on Mr. Potato Head.
The nursery themed after Its a Small World. I asked if they played the song. I was told no they dont. Lucky kids! Sometimes Ill hang up if that is the hold music when I call Disney&
The atrium. This is where youll enter the ship and be announced by DCL cast members. When you walk on the ship theyll ask your name and then say into the microphone Please welcome the X family! Then the CM will tell you what is open for lunch and direct you there. Its a nice touch!
Vibe the teen club. This spot was really cool! They have their own hot tubs, lucky kids! There were a couple of teenage boys in there while we toured, brothers I assume, and I overheard one of them say Wow, this is awesome. We all know how teenagers can be hard to impress. Good on ya Disney!
