Review summary

Embarktion and Debarktion were very easy for us! I honestly did not like the Dream Ship, i know the layout was like most ships, however it was more narrow so it felt cramped! only found a handful of good bartenders! it seemed as if we were just another person to most and no one cared! had great service in the MDR 5 out of the 7 nights, good service for brunch except one morning where they screwed up orders and i did not get what i ordered! It will take a lot to get me back on that ship! Did talk to the Assistant Bar manager and he stated that when she goes into dry dock she is suppose to be getting an Alchemy Bar! I So, i may be talked in to giving her another shot!

We just cruised the triumph and spoke to most of our servers. Those poor people work 7 days a week for 6-8 months straight! They work their buns off considering how exhausted they must be!!! People make mistakes sometimes and honestly when hundreds of people want a drink at the same time I can wait a little longer knowing they are doing the best they can! Going on Dream in February and cannot not

Remember, crew members switch out often. So if you have bad service once, it doesn't mean it will be that way next time. Now if you don't care for the ship, that's another issue. We loved the Dream but everyone has their own preference.

Alchemy is the best! We loved it on the inspiration. Considering waiting to go on the dream until after dry dock just for guys and alchemy!

Our Dream experience was fabulous! Great service from everyone! Our only complaint was that we weren't crazy about the food.

Wow, the Dream has been my favorite Carnival ship so far! I'm glad you might give it another try.
