Review summary

The ship is very beautiful. I loved the adult section the most. Hot tub needs to be warmer and a pool up there. Service was slow in the Crimson Dining so moved to the Scarlett and it was excellent. Our room was nice and service was great! Nice having your wash done free!!!. Taking less clothes on the next trip. We did excursions off the ship made with Cruise.com and that is the only way to go. Cheaper and easy to get to. The excursions were one of the best I have been on so far. Great job! Cruise.com. The activity director (James and Gumby were fabulous.

Ship tip

Great service in dining room at breakfast. Fast service and no lines.Try the BBQ out on deck 5 outside. Floor 14 and 15 for adults is a must. The hammocks are to die for. They need more. The one slide was disappoining because you don't go all the way down. Have to walk down stairs the rest of the way. Otherwise the Dream was the best I have been on. Loved it!!!

great. we got massages in Progresso Mexico a few years back for $10 on the beach... for an hour!!! That was a steal. I am definately going to to this, maybe I can talk them down if both me and the hubs get one. Thanks for the tips.

Do you remember the cost of the massage on the beach?

When you get off and walk where the shops are, it is to your left on the beach side. You will see the 2 tents set up. They ask $30 for 30 minutes but I got them for $25 but ended up paying the $30 because it was so good. My ankle hurt so bad I could hardly walk. When she got through with me, I had no pains and could walk great. Hard to believe, but it is the truth. I am going to do one every time I sail from now on.

Stucklikeglue, we are going on the Sunshine in December out of NO!! I guess you are bringing it in. Hoping it is a good ship. We have only been on the smaller Carnival ships so far. Excited to get on the Dream.

I can't decide between the Zipline which was 200' but we went on 13 ziplines and they took pictures of us. Got to keep the CD for $10.00 and then to beach. They took us back to dock afterward. I like the cave tubing but had done it before so it wasn't new to me but it was a lot of fun. To do all 3 things, it cost $232.00 which isn't bad at all. Check the same excursions thru Carnival and you will see.

Are there massage people right on the beach? How much was the cost if you don't mind me asking? Was this in walking distance to the ship? Going on the Dream in 2 weeks!!
