The Disney Dream has arrived at Port Canaveral!

[hobie16]

It's too bad they messed with the proportions of the Magic and Wonder when building the Dream. The extra two decks, the wider top decks, and the extra length make it kind of boxy looking, and more like a princess ship than the classic ocean liner silhouette. It is real obvious in the videos how much the lines of the ship are changed.

The skipper of the Queen Mary II (a greyhound of the Atlantic) was asked what he thought about the design of cruise ships. He said, "They look like a barge with a hotel on top."

I was part of the (quite large) company-sponsored WDW/DCL Cast Delegation that went to the Port. The ship itself is absolutely gorgeous, even more so than the pictures suggest. I'm booked on it for September, but I may have to see if Cast Rates become available sooner....

I posted a video here:

And some (OK-ish quality, the iPhone takes relatively good pictures, but it's still a phone first and foremost) pictures here:

We need a 'Like' button.
I couldn't imagine be stuck on a ship with 4000 other people for 3-7 days. There'd be no place to hide/getaway.

You know, from what I've heard of other cruises, I have often thought that such a trip wouldn't really appeal to me. However, from what little I've read about the Dream, it might just tempt me. I am kind of curious as to what recreational facilities (aside from dancing, spas, pools, and shows) are available for an adult "geek" like myself? Then again, for all I know, I might have fun just staying in my room watching the on-ship "television"...

The bar, drink enough and you won't care!

I think the point of a cruise is not to do anything, just relax. I would have the same problem though, I need to get out and do stuff. I can sit around my house and watch TV!

There's a virtual ride video at http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ships ... /aquaduck/

You might be surprised -- there's plenty of quiet places. I'm not generally a "crowd" person at all, and I've loved my Disney cruises.

Aquaduck? Come on, it's a gerbil tube. :D:

My bar tab would look like the 'national debt'.
