Dream offers a cruise experience that appeals to guests of all ages
who want a casual and relaxing holiday. Average age varies with a
number of children on board during school holidays. The Norwegian
Dream was stretched in 1998 with a 130' midsection being added. Cabins
aren't the largest in the mid-price category but layout is excellent
as most come with a small sitting area and picture windows. Don't
expect elegance, but take this ship if the price and itinerary are
right. The ship is given over to freestyle cruising, service is adequate
as is the food. Formal nights are no longer observed but dresscode
is resort casual throughout the ship. Le Bistro, a reservations-only,
78-seat alternative restaurant, serves Italian fare for an additional
fee. There is no official Lido restaurant: the Four Seasons main restaurant
offers buffet breakfast at sea; and the Sports Bar features buffet
breakfast, lunch, teatime snacks and fresh popcorn, but has only 85
seats inside making it hard to find an open table. There is a poolside
snack bar/pizzeria, ice cream bar and a small coffee lounge.Interiors
have a contemporary ambiance that is informally elegant through the
use of quality fabrics in pastels and muted shades, fine woods, artwork
and marble. Lots of glass walls afford views of the sea and ports.
The ship has no multi-level atrium but an attractive lobby/reception
area on Promenade Deck.There are 15 categories with staterooms attractively
furnished in soft tones and featuring two lower beds that convert
to queen, small bathroom with shower, hairdryer, cabin-controlled
thermostat, duvet, TV, and radio. Inside cabins measure 140 sq. ft.;
standard outside cabins are 152 sq. ft; superior deluxe suites are
176 sq. ft. |
