Creator's Key Takeaways

The Disney Dream just changed how I think about family cruising forever.

Split bathrooms in most categories. This means one person can shower while another uses the toilet, which sounds simple, but becomes a gamecher when you're traveling with kids.

The rotational dining is just the beginning. Holo is the adults only fine dining restaurant that requires reservations and an additional fee. This Italian restaurant offers some of the best food I've eaten at sea.

The Aqueduct steals the show, though. This 765 ft long water coaster wins around the ship and extends out over the ocean.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Utilize the split bathroom design to save time when traveling with kids.
Take advantage of the rotational dining to experience different themed restaurants each night.
