Review summary

I purchased a balcony suite for this cruise. It was a beautiful room, but the dust that had built up in there over time was inexcusable. There were a few minor problems (broken closet door, no tv remote, no tv service, etc) as well. The staff was friendly and willingness ng to help, but response time left something to be desired. The main dining room service was extremely slow, albeit friendly and fun. The decor throughout the ship was dated, but generally clean and well maintained. The nightly show was excellent, and a highlight of our cruise, and the deck party midnight buffet was impressive.

Carnival Live Concert

3 out of 5

Great concert, but considering the number of obstructed view seats, they ship oversold the venue. We watched from behind a pole. Get there very early for the concert, and skip the main dining room for dinner-- the slow service won't let you make it to the seats in time.

Scor- I just got off the Dream Sunday and wanted to comment again on your post. Because of you I purposely looked for dusty areas everywhere. I don't what you were complaining because I could only find dust if I search really hard to find it. I actually laughed at your post during the cruise because they worked so hard on cleaning the room. Hopefully your next cruise is better. Enjoy!!!

Dust??? Really?? Are you on vacation or are you a cruise critic from princess bashing carnival?? Door, closet, and remote.. Ok I'd be bitching about a remote!!! I'm gonna lay around a watch tv that's a given!!!!! But dust???? Dust it yourself if it bugs you that much!! We leave tomorrow and I guarantee I'm not looking for dust. I may have dust on me in a week... Hahahaha

If you voiced your complaints to Guest Services I think they would have sent someone to your cabin within a few hours to assess your problem.

We loved all the little eateries around, but , didn't care for the food at the dinning room. To each there own.

We went in April. I loved it. We are going again next April. Will be excited to see the changes and updates after the dry dock at the end of January. Sorry that you had problems.

The ship was built in 2009, so it can't be that bad.
