You aren't allowed to rake them off for selfies or if you are taking them of your party inside.

We had the package and got 120 photos on our USB stick, we had some lovely photos!

It might have changed now, but I wasn’t allowed to remove my mask for a photo by Mickey and the wheel (taken by the official photographer). They told my 14 year old she could remove her mask for that one, but they said adults still had to wear a mask because people might walk past while you’re having your photo taken.

It’s the only official photo we got that I really don’t like - I don’t mind my own photos showing us in masks around the ship, but there’s something off about a nicely posed photo with us all in evening gear, and me in my mask! Luckily we got some lovely ones of my girls from that shoot, and I just deleted the one with me in it.

We tooks ours off just for the photos. If you look carefully we are hiding then behind our back or in our hand in the photo.

Everywhere else there was a bag and mask table where you could demask before you posed.

For anyone going soon and you want anything from the shop you have to go an hour before it opens if your after something specific.it was crazy like a black friday sale.i just wanted a christmas decoration and the shop opened at 6;00 i got in about 6:10 and all gone.Even the mugs there was about 6-8 out and they dont restock.

We are on at the moment and the shop was disappointing.

The queues on first night were insane (I guess they will be again tonight) and once the madness had died down basically nothing left. We wanted two tops but the only sizes left were XL so we gave up and left empty handed. Got a B2b so will try again but not expecting much.

I was reading facebook that people was standing at queue at 3 pm! omg honest with 5 times cruise there were no queue at all then 6th cruise I never see like that before with long queue. I went away and came back when it was quiet. but I didn't get things what I want. Oh well.

What I am annoying that people bought lots of things then sell it on ebay.

One woman in the shop grabbed loads of spirit jerseys and was asking people what size they want it was crazy.someone said to her why have you grabbed them all its still covid.luckily i wasnt bothered about one i only wanted a Christmas ornament but no chance of that families were all grabbing them all

We didn't even bother with the shop until day 2 of our cruise - we both got a t shirt and a pin so we were happy but there definitely wasn't a huge selection of merchandise.

This is lovely! They did have a little table by the photographer for ours, but when my daughter and I put our masks and bags on it, they said I had to put my mask back on because it’s so close to the stairs. I wish we’d had your photographer! 😊

PAT in just over an hour!

Can't wait. Sun is shining too.

We're just off the ship today and really did have an amazing time.

We had a PAT of 12.30 and boarding group 9 and were onboard by 1.30, eating lunch in Cabanas by 2pm, our stateroom was ready by 3pm. Service, food and shows were amazing, we cruised with MSC in May on the maiden voyage and DCL really blew them out of the water.

We did Mixology which was fun and chocolate and liquor tasting which was lovely. Shopping was disappointing but we knew that and weren't too worried about, not why we cruised so no biggie. I did buy DH a Polo top which must have been on the wrong hanger and swamps him, so I'm hoping they'll let us exchange it on The Dream in January.

Barely felt the ship move, it was a really very smooth cruise, we had one rough night on The Virtuosa, but hardly knew we were on the water this time!

So please we did it, both my DD and I had such an amazing time, enjoy those still to go
