Review summary
Leaving out of New Orleans right after Christmas was not the greatest idea because N.O. is pretty much shut down for that holiday. Notwithstanding, the 8-day cruise brightened things up quite a bit. Visiting 4 ports was fantastic, just didn't care for them being one right after the other in succession. Beautiful weather on the seas and the Dream had smooth sailing. Food in the main dining was usually great and service was up to par with other sailings. Carnival fails providing activities during the day that draw people, so a lot of laying out by members of my party occurred while I spent a lot of time on the b-ball court. Don't take the late dining time b/c that's when all the fun activities occur, choose early dining or my-time instead.
