Dream cruise set to rule high seas
ONLINE pre-sale tickets for the inaugural Dream Weekend Cruise — scheduled for March 10–15, 2019 — began Thursday. Organisers explained the reason for its introduction to its suite of party offerings.
“Next year will see the 10th year of Dream Entertainment. We wanted to do something very special for our anniversary, while offering our fans a unique experience,” Kamal Bankay, director of public relations at Dream Entertainment — organisers of Dream Weekend — told the Jamaica Observer.
The cruise starts in Miami, Florida, will visit Nassau, Bahamas, then Montego Bay, Jamaica, before returning to home port in Miami. There are 1,500 cabins of varying price points available to be booked. However, they can all be reserved with an initial deposit.
“The cruise is aimed at anybody who loves Jamaican dancehall culture and those who have experienced our Dream Weekend event,” Bankay explained.
Dream Weekend will be the dominant theme for the cruise as many of the Dream Entertainment-branded events will have their equivalent stagings over the length of the trip. According to Bankay, The Bahamas and Montego Bay will see Daydreams and Wet’n’ Wild, respectively. On the ship, Bleu, Yush and their new soca offerings will fill the night entertainment spots.
“There will also be plenty of shipboard activities Dream-themed as well,” he said.
As this is the company’s first venture into the cruise party segment, Bankay admits that if it is successful, it could become a part of Dream Entertainment’s regular event roster.
