I know I am really late to the game, but honestly, AWESOME trip report! I stumbled upon it somehow this morning, and have spent the last couple hours sitting here reading it, riveted to my seat
when I really should be up cleaning and doing my laundry!
We sailed on The Magic from NYC in 2012, and we have booked the Dream for April 2016. I love reading your comparisons of the two ships, and I loved your description of Atlantis and the Comfort Suites. We may do that was well, my DD11 has been asking to go to Atlantis since the last cruise (we went to Blue Lagoon). Neither of my kids really enjoyed the kids clubs either
not sure why they don't do more to get the kids to participate
.
I was wondering how it would be to skip the MDRs on the Dream. I did find the dinners to be somewhat of a long process and wasn't all that crazy about some of the menus. I would hope that I wouldn't get scolded by the wait staff
that's just rude!
Anyway, thanks for sharing! Are you going on another cruise in 2015 or 2016? I believe your TR said, "next April." I wasn't sure when that landed!
