Review summary

Wish there was more activities for singles. There was a LGBT gathering every night, but none for singles. But I guess that is the new thing, catering to the gays, etc. Wish there was a casino area with no smoking. Would love to gamble a little, but cannot deal with the smoke. Didn't like the singer/guitarist Amy.. music too dark and depressing. Other than those few things, everything was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Head Waiter, Guillermo, excellent!!! Lines/service way too long to eat at a earlier/decent hour on Your Time Dining, especially on elegant night, which rolled down to missing entertainment. Early Dining unavailable.

The entire cruise is for singles. Try the nightclub or a bar if you're specifically looking to get picked up. For Pete's sake, complaining about "the gays", is this the nineties?

The Carnival Dream is my favorite out of all of the ships I have been on. Both cruises have been absolutely incredible. I wish they would move the ship back to Florida & do some more Eastern Caribbean cruises. They do have the Magic & the Breeze which I am guessing may be similar. They could have two meet & greets, one for each group. Certainly, it's easy to spot a single woman because she won't have a ring on, but if a woman goes to the singles meet & greet that means she might be interested in finding a guy to talk to & spend some time with while on the cruise. If I just meet a single woman around the ship, she might be there with a boyfriend or might not be interested in meeting somebody.

In all the cruises i've be on. I always met gay ppl. I guess my gaydar works pretty good. Instead of gattoring ourselfs why don't you guys talk to eachother when you find someone interesting. He/she might be gay and single. Like we say in Montréal CA. À bientôt! :-)

4 stars is a good rating. Has anyone looked at the message boards? Friends of Dorothy and Friends of Bill W fill them up. Yes there are a lot of singles and maybe the cruise line should offer 1 single mixer on the first sea day that way people can meet early in the cruise and maybe be able to plan events. Personally I like to enjoy my Balcony with the DW. And enjoy my cruise

Because the "gays" chose to get together with friends is not their problem. Perhaps the singles should have the organization and effort incentive to do something for themselves. It's a free world. So sorry all you could notice were others living life and having fun and missed the fun yourself while concerned about what others are doing. Maybe therapy. I think you are a little depressed YOLO

Wow... Gay people get ONE thing a night on the cruise and all of a sudden you hate the world? Get over yourself It's 2016.... All o can say is your comment REALLY pissed me off. Stay off of cruises then and go to a "straight" bar...

Usually easy to spot a 'single'... They usually don't wear a wedding ring.

Wow! Don't even know what to say. Guess there will always be those kind of hurtful people in the world. I personally had a wonderful time on the Dream. One of my favorite ships. Loved everything about it

You just had to make your comment about "gays" have you ever thought that might be why your single? And by the looks of things you should have stayed home since nothing pleased you!
