Review summary

It was smooth sailing. Great ride very peaceful. Had great AFT room with extended Balcony. The Steak House while not included was good and worth the 70 dollars extra for my wife and me. Best part was waking up in new ports to explore. Bad parts. We felt like we were on the QVC Shopping network Cruise. Extra Charges for everything so don't assume its included. Key West was nice Port enjoyed it very much. Freeport was lacking and we all booked different versions of the SAME excursion, it was no doubt a tourist Trap. Nassau was nice and the Concert with Trace Atkins was very good. It also Cost us 40 dollars Per Person extra. Food was OK. Had a good little sandwich shop and the pizza was ok. Other stuff I saw on the website are not on the Ship YET.. supposedly coming in the FALL. it was little misleading...Overall we have a relaxing vacation but don't think I will be rushing back any time soon. If you don't like LINES you wont like this.

We booked an extended balcony aft for our cruise in December. I'm curious about the room. Good bad and ugly?

How was the aft view? I also have an aft view for a December cruise and I'm curious to know how great it is. I hear rumors that they can get hot and stay hot easily? Not sure.

Lines usually move pretty fast. I'm patient, on vacation, and don't let the little things stress me out. And of course extras will cost. Where in life do they not? Carnival Corp, or any business, is in it to make a profit. They're not tax payer entitlement funded.

Sounds like you did not do your research. Website tells you exactly what is and isn't included. The Dream website also tells you what is on the ship. Not misleading at all. Lines happen when everyone tries to eat as soon as the venues open. Dream is a great ship😎😎😎
