About Disney Dream
Disney Dream, delivered at the end of 2010, launched the Dream class and introduced the AquaDuck, the first water coaster at sea, which loops out over the side of the ship. It also debuted virtual portholes, giving inside cabins a live view and visits from animated characters. The District, an adults-only nightlife area, and the Remy and Palo restaurants give grown-ups their own space. Disney Dream has been a regular on short Bahamas cruises, which makes it a popular first Disney cruise for families. It has the scale and polish of a modern ship often for less than a Wish-class sailing.
Best for: Families who want a short Disney cruise with lots of signature features.
