Review summary

25th wedding anniversary cruise and our first cruise ever. Loved Carnival and the Dream boat. Zip line in Hondurus was a blast, dinner on boat was amazing, every employee on the Dream was polite and great. Balcony room on level 8 was beautiful with amazing views. Caribbean was spectacular, water beautiful and clear.

Will go again with Carnival and definitely on the Dream.

Great port, south shore zip line was amazing. Pet capuchin monkeys climbing on me was best experience ever.

Not much at port unless you do an excursion you will be bored after a couple hours.

Happy Anniversary and welcome to cruising, it can become an addiction.

A suggestion for you on the finial day on Carnival, they do have the buffet open, so you can be out of your cabin at 8:30 and go up to the Lido for breakfast and relax until they call your #. I typically hang out in the Lido until things thin out and go off the ship at about 10:00.

Good to hear that you enjoyed your first cruise. We only took our first cruise when we were in our 50's and now love the concept of cruising. Cozumel is lovely

Thanks for the review. We are considering the Dream for our 30th anniversary in 2017, having been on the Sunshine this year and the Breeze this coming January. You are absolutely correct about the capuchin monkey excursion in Mohagany Bay. It was the highlight of our trip!
