Ahoy Heidi,
Your first cruise is on a Disney ship?!?! You're doomed! You'll never want to sail on another cruise line. I know that after my first Disney sailing, I've never even priced another cruise line. The Dream is magnificent. I sailed on it last September, and it was even more heavenly than I expected.
All Guests get a chance to enjoy each themed restaurant on board through
rotational dining. The servers who you have the first night will be your servers for the rest of the trip. They are unbelievable! They'll learn your likes/dislikes on your first night and will cater to you like you're royalty. I have to say that you feel really sad when you're saying goodbye. Please check out the webpages I've attached for
Palo and
Remy. It has a lot of information you'll need regarding making your reservations.
Before I forget! DO NOT SKIP the chocolate souffle at Palo. It is THE BEST food served on the entire ship...and let me tell you their food is supreme.
I hope you have a magical sailing! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'm very happy to help. Bon voyage!
