Don't expect elegance, but take this ship if the price and itinerary are right and the roster of activities seem to fit the bill. Broadway-style revues staged twice nightly in the Stardust Lounge are stylish and professional. Besides the revues, other entertainment in the Stardust includes performances by comedians, magicians, and pop vocalists. The Observation Lounge offers panoramic sightseeing by day and an after-hours nightclub with dance music. The ship's Sports Bar, loaded with sports memorabilia and banks of TVs broadcasting live games via ESPN, is a fun and lively spot with munchies like nachos and popcorn.
All restaurants have main and late seatings for dinner, with restaurant assigned by cabin location.
The Dream will be offering NCL's new freestyle cruising concept, which includes freestyle dining, beginning in May 2001. Service in all dining rooms is usually efficient and friendly. Buffet breakfast and lunch are also available in the Sports Bar and Grill located on deck 12 at the far aft of the ship. Hot dogs and hamburgers are available for lunch along with salads, cheeses, and desserts. There is also a pizzeria near the pool on deck 11 that serves hot pizza and salads for lunch, weather permitting.
