Ocean Dream 2009 versus Empress 2008 Carribean Cruise

Last year (2008) I took a trip in the carribean with the Empress / Pullmantur. The service aboard a was a terrific one, the bartenders, waiters/waitresses were very friendly. The entertainment was very good, the shows were very amusing, the music varied from standard jazz (trio) to latin (brazilian and dominican band), there were different entertainment rooms on different levels, entertainment on the pooldeck was cheerful, funny. I even loved the gym, it had a lot of space and equipment, and i did use it for 5 consecutive days, in the mornings. Last day at sea, we danced boleros the whole night. The food was good, with ample choices. The restaurants were spacious, and again the crew was very friendly. No complaints about the air conditioning either. A perfect trip.

So I decided to do it all over again this year. I was very excited, and thought the Ocean Dream would fulfill this dream like the Empress did. I must be honest, this was a big dissapointment. Everything on the Ocean Dream was the opposite of all the terrific things I experienced on the Empress.

My next cruise will be around april/may next year (2010), and I hope to be as lucky as last year, and to enjoy the trip as I did last year…………………Richard
