Review summary

There were two adults and two children in our group. The ship had activities for everyone. The ship is not terribly large so it was easy to find your way around quickly. The staff was very friendly and especially the dining room staff were excellent. Not always fast but always went out of their way to accommodate the kids special dining requests. Our stateroom comfortably handled all four of us. The steward was not terribly good,just a bit below what I have expected based on previous cruises. Dive In movies were great.

I tend to sail on larger ships but it won't hurt to try a smaller one from time to time. I've been reading a lot of pretty good reviews about Carnival Dream

Thanks for the review! We enjoyed sailing aboard Carnival Dream as well, especially the cove balcony!

Glad you had a good time, We sailed on her when she was new and will be sailing on her again in January. We are looking forward to a revisit. :)

Thank you for posting your review! The mega-ships do seem to have more activities to offer, but keep in mind that some of those come with a price tag.

I HAVE BEEN ON THE DREAM...I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAIRLY LARGE SHIP. CARNIVAL HAS CUT BACK ON A LOT OF STUFF. BUT, I STILL LOVE IT.
