Renovation details
After it's significant 2024 dry dock, the Disney Dream now features several major "Wish-class" style enhancements, most notably the brand-new Dream Tower Suite inside the forward funnel, themed after Disney’s Fantasia. The refurbishment also expanded the Concierge Lounge with a new Hercules-inspired Mount Olympus theme and introduced the Marvel WEB Workshop to the Oceaneer Club. For casual dining, the ship added Ramone’s Cantina, a Mexican-themed eatery on the pool deck that has become a guest favorite for its quick-service tacos and bowls.
