Cars, spectators make the non-Dream Cruise feel like the real thing

A Cloud 9 Spa Suite is the ultimate in both stateroom and spa accommodations. There's room for you and your things — with a large room and balcony — and a walk-in closet. The soothing in-room whirlpool tub will help you stay relaxed after your relaxing spa treatment.

In May, officials in Birmingham and Huntington Woods voted for resolutions to cancel the world's biggest one-day car event. They were followed by similar resolutions in Ferndale and Berkley, he said. "I think the message here, it's not just about the Woodward Dream Cruise," Lary said. The Woodward Dream Cruise board voted Monday to cancel the annual summer car event that attracts more than 1 million people. Not a pandemic, nor a quarantine, nor a lockdown, nor cities NOT participating in street events will stop the Woodward Dream Cruise from happening Aug. 15 on Michigan’s most cruisable road.

And like all suites, a Cloud 9 Spa Suite features VIP check-in, which lets you easily get right up to your amazing stateroom. Woodward Avenue, officially M-1, is one of the main north/south drags in metro Detroit, and when the first robin appears and eats its first worm sometime in March, the cars start coming. And they don’t stop coming until well into September.

‘MAGA Classic Car Cruise’ aims to replace cancelled Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend

Birmingham held a virtual meeting about the event before the vote, including a public comment portion, where resident David Bloom said what most of us were thinking. That means no Mustang Alley, no cruise-in concerts, no official car shows and no Roadkill Nights in Pontiac. They noticed there was less foot traffic, but thought the traffic and cars seemed similar to years past. Cruisers are still going to cruise Woodward.

The 2020 edition of the biggest annual one-day car show/cruise in the world was in doubt a few weeks ago when organizers sent letters to nine municipalities bordering famed Woodward Avenue to figure out where they were on the subject. Birmingham’s leaders voted no, 7-0; Huntington Woods voted no, 5-0; Ferndale voted no. Berkley is not planning to pass the resolution, according to the Detroit Free Press, but the city did say it won’t hold any in-person activities.

Carnival Dream®

Despite its name, Carnival Dream is definitely a reality. "We can't take a chance bringing that many people to crowd together with the unpredictable nature of the coronavirus and the Governor's executive orders to social distance and stay safe," Cannon said in a news release last week. The official cancellation vote happened less than a week after Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon announced the cancellation of that township's annual Gratiot Cruise, which was set for Aug. 2 in neighboring Macomb County.

The event is being held by the Oakland County Republican Party. Another event has popped up in its place -- the “MAGA Classic Car Cruise.” It’s scheduled for the same day and time, Aug. 15 from 12 p.m. If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation. It's one thing to be fun, but it's another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a recent wave of amazingly innovative and fun Carnival ships. As the genesis of the Dream class, Carnival Dream set the direction for the ships that followed in her footsteps — first Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze.

The cities won’t be giving out parking permits or allowing folks to congregate. However, they also won’t be giving out tickets just for cruising either. Traffic was backed up going north on Woodward in the early afternoon hours with both classic and newer cars, suggesting some attendees were driving along Woodward to observe classics from their own vehicles.

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Dream. Any time you're in your room, you're just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel. Aft-View Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony for more lounge-around room, more kick-back space; not to even mention some of the best stern-side views you'll find anywhere. Get ready to relax as you gaze upon Carnival Dream's gentle wake from your spacious balcony. Several people have posted in comments on the Woodward Dream Cruise's official Facebook page that they'll still be cruising Woodward — a public road — even if the event is officially canceled.

Cities voted to cancel the Cruise, but they can only stop the action on the sidewalk. "Not really," said McGinnis in response to a question about if any cars impressed him. In Ferndale, there were few spectators sitting on the median compared with  the number of people seen at a typical Dream Cruise, said Ferndale Community Engagement Officer Jill Mahlmeister. “It’s not as much as it should be,” he said, referring to the percentage of people with masks on. “I’d rather have too many (police officers) than not enough, but today went smoother than I thought,” he said. "The day could not have gone better,” Clemence said. He had about the same number of police officers out that he would during a normal Dream Cruise, but they didn't end up being needed.

For the most part, spectators did a good job with social distancing, Clemence said, but he would have liked to see more people wearing masks. "They took it upon themselves to make it into a political rally instead of a dream cruise that has just been a random, enjoyable event," said Kelsey Oneda, one of the organizers of the MAGA Cruise protest. As for the event, you don’t need to have a classic car to take part. Raczkowski says a MAGA Classic Car can be any vehicle allowed to be driven on a taxpayer funded highway. Supporters are asked to display American and Trump flags or respectful signs that support President Trump.

Three other communities along Woodward — Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills and Pontiac — are on the Woodward Dream Cruise board that voted Monday. All community events for the 26th annual event were canceled in April, Lary said. He said the event also was intended to show support for local police and fire departments, and the Trump administration. Oakland County County GOP Chairman Rocky Raczkowski described the event as a way to "make sure that people came out and supported local businesses and infuse a little capital, especially after all the shutdowns and everything that's happened." Not only was this "unofficial" or "makeshift Dream Cruise," as described by some Twitter users, different because the event was officially canceled.

Certain areas were filled with spectators, often sitting in the trunks of their cars and in lawn chairs, especially in Royal Oak and Birmingham. The 2020 Woodward Dream Cruise may have been canceled, but that didn't stop thousands of spectators and motorists from converging Saturday on Woodward Avenue, from Ferndale to Pontiac, to celebrate cars. Kenny McPhaul isn’t wild about the MAGA part of the event, but he is a Republican who said he cares about cops and has a classic car he wants to show off.

On Carnival Dream, Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are a great choice for families who want to let the sun shine in as they sail. Rooms of this type feature great views, a full bathroom — plus a separate washroom — and while stateroom configurations vary, certain Deluxe Ocean View rooms have space to sleep up to five cruisers. We assume the police are going to stop that sort of activity, the assembling. And there will be no roadside tents, no stages and no merchandise. But they can’t stop people from cruising legally on Saturday, Aug. 15, or any other day for that matter.
