Review summary

The cruise was OK, the Comedy Club was great. The food was lacking and the timing for guests returning to the ship from excursions no access to the buffet due to closing early. The excursions with the Horseback riding was terrible and the pool in the rainforest was not that great either. Shopping in Honduras was good for finding local made items, but lacking in Belize and Cozumel in the duty free shops. Not enough shopping places on the Dream.

Anthony you probably would like a more upper class cruise ship then if you care so much about the cuisine. Carnival is known as the party ship, the fun ship, not the food ship. But then again everyone has their own opinions and likes and dislikes, I go on cruises to get away and have fun and go to paradise, not pig out and be a food critic lol to each their own :)

Food is my buig thing. It has to have good food. I can over look other things as long as the food is good. If the food isn't then every little thing gets bigger. That said one of my favorite ships my cousin calls a bucket of bolts. So not everyone is going to like the same thing. So if a person gives a bad review that is their take on the ship. It us just as valid as the previous 1000 people who liked it. There are a lot of great reviews on the Crown Princess. But I did not care for it because of the food. The only food that was good was the Chef's Table and the Pizza.
