Review summary

Carnival needs to really step it up with the food choices on the Dream. This ship needs the 2.0 upgrade ASAP. You pay to go on the Dream class but yet we went on the Conquest and Fascination and had a better experience. Let me say this, the DJ was the most disrespect, rude person that I have ever met. When he was asked if he had a certain song to play, his reply was, "let him do his job". Every night he snapped at people or purposely closed the club at 1am or earlier. Even outside of the club if you seen him around the ship there was always attitude. Carnival needs to really look into this. The highlight to our trip was our dining room staff and our steward. Yiem, Dodiek and Kuscana were the best ever in the dining room and our steward was great. We were cruise on Carnival yearly but I will never do the Dream again.

Why don't you write to Carnival and express your frustrations? The Dream is one of the next ships to get the 2.0 and then WOW we will have Guys Burgers.. A cruise is exactly what you make of it. I cannot imagine anyone letting a DJ ruin a 7 day cruise. Why did you keep going back??????
