The Dream is a old ship which can look it's age but don't be fooled by this as it is well maintained and cared for. The crew were always keeping everywhere spotless. The cruise itself was brilliant. The crew always smiling and very friendly. The cabin steward was wonderful looking after our son and leaving him towel art animals every evening (well doe Okki). The food was excellent and never ending. The prices on board for drinks are more expensive than the UK but not excessive. The Orion dining room service was amazing and you do not get that same attention in some of the top hotels. The tours from ship need careful thought as some do require a fair amount of walking and when we went (mid October) it was very warm (33C+ in Rome). The on board entertainment was much better than in some of the mainland UK theatres.
