Review summary

This carnival New Years cruise was the twenty first cruise ,over our 44 year marriage .We both have traveled many times on Carnival.The ship was quite lovely. Our room Stewart was very accommodating and efficient . Found the buffet very varied and good.Found the my time dine to be awkwardly handled ,and often times more like a cattle call.We were asked to move to a wall and wait,while arrangements were made to seat us. We're never offered tea ,had to ask for it.Dining entertainment often took place when half the dining room had left.Never met the Maitre D'.Never introduced himself. Didn't find pursers desk to be friendly at all.Tour desk great. Casino one of the best times in all casinos we frequented.Actually paid out! Embarkation and debarkation extremely organized and fast moving.Need to step up quality of food served in dining rooms.Plan on booking The Dream again with my family.know what to avoid and how to lay out meals.Hope on next booking we actually get our 50.00 a person on board credit this time.Dissappointed on the last!

Planning a cruise on the Dream this summer. Please share what you plan to avoid and how you will lay out meals. Thanks.

we loved the dream. sounds like any time dining is not the way to go for you. we have never tried anytime dining as we like participating with the staff while dining in mdr.
