Carnival Dream Vs. Freedom

They could actually be found in your cabin. Maybe day 3 have Theodore hiding in the towel animals or poking out of a drawer. Or if you have lunch on the Lido, sitting in the corner of the booth just before he sits down. I would only put them in the "public" spots just as it is time to find them. Like you, I'd be worried other children might just pick them up. If you have assigned dining for dinner, one could be in his chair. I'm sure the waitstaff would be happy to be part of the game. I know you will be able to think of lots of ways to surprise him.

I was looking too!! Great minds think alike!! That would really be something fun for him, just hope other kids wouldn't find them and take off with them. I would probably talk to someone, CD or guest services to make sure they wouldn't get taken.

Come on yearly review and bonuses!! Momma is ready to book a cruise

DWalker19, I looked! They have several options (and reasonably priced) on Amazon.

You could look for "stuffed or doll like" ones for him to find (eventually).!?!

Exactly! I will let him think they are on board and he can have a scavenger hunt looking for them LOL

That will keep him and Me-maw busy for a day or so

Alvin and the Chipmunks for the win!

I was looking for a 7 day cruise for my honeymoon in April so it was between the Freedom and Vista. After all I have read, most people seem to prefer the "Conquest Class" as they are a little smaller and don't tend to feel as crowded. I suppose that the "Dream Class" advantage would strictly be that there are more activities and spaces but keep in mind, the "Dream Class" carries about 1,000 more people so more waiting around from what I understand. With it being the day after our wedding and having done our research we booked a 7 Day Western Caribbean cruise on Carnival Freedom in April for my honeymoon to Montego Bay, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Hope this helps.

Sailed the Spirit, Conquest and the newer larger class of ships and prefer the Conquest class. to us the Conquest is well laid out and just easier to maneuver around.

So after a week or so of looking at pictures reading info etc.. I think I have decided on the Dream. Of course, I still have to wait a little bit before I can call and book so it may change

It just seemed to have more kids water features and it did remind me of the Magic. Also, since it's a shorter voyage, we may get the cruise next to nothing with out credit. And my mother in law is wanting to go with us, so it would be easier on her wallet too. Again, it could change but i think I have decided.

Also, my son saw the Alvin & the Chipmunks movie with the Dream in it, and just HAS to go on that ship.

Thanks y'all!! I will keep doing my own research.. i have enjoyed every ship we have been on, so i know either one will make for a great cruise. We sailed on the Vista early July and I felt that even though it was so massive, it was very crowded. I never felt like that on the Magic or the Triumph. Then again we didn't really use the pools much back then, and now with our little man, he LOVES the pool.

I am just excited to do research and sail on a new (to me) ship. My husbands step mom may go with us as well.. she wants my hubby and I to have a date night or 2 and she thinks our son will go hang out with her.. HA! Maybe by then he will, but its debatable. Only happened once on our last trip..we will see what a year later age wise brings
