Review summary

I was pleased with the whole experience. It had been 9 years since I had cruised. In that time I saw great additions to the cruising industry. The entertainment was awesome and I felt like there were plenty of choices. The attention to calling us by name meant a great deal to me and my daughter. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before this trip. I feel the cruise offered everything it advertised. I also feel that a lot of the people who complain will complain no matter what. I witnessed some of the rudest people when we had shared dining and also standing in line at the Pizzeria. I was ashamed of the way they behaved and treated the staff. We worked hard and saved for a long time for the trip and I was very pleased. I wanted to relax, Get some sun, Enjoy some shows and not cook and that is exactly what I got to do. I will be cruising again in two years for my 50th birthday. Thanks to the Dream Team for taking care of us and Thanks to Carnival for delivering a great trip.

I prefer an inside cabin so we can sleep when needed. (Always dark) My cabin steward was Igusti and he was a sweet heart of a man.

Ship tip

We discovered a new drink, Kiss on the Lips had several every day we were on the boat. We had a spa package and used the sauna rooms and tholossal pool. I recommend the spa package.

We booked online not through Carnival. They did not honor our all inclusive drinks because of the election. That was a disappointment. Resort was nice and friendly but Would have rather had two days in Nassau.

I agree with jeanette09, the staff are human also and when they see family and friends having such a great time it only natural for them to miss their families. This may cause them to hesitate for a moment, but there is no reason to be rude. I am glad that you enjoyed your cruise, I was on the Dream in March and my wife and I had a great time.

Thank you for the great review! I agree, people will complain no matter what and there is absolutely NO reason to be rude or mean to the staff on that or any ship! We as passengers do NOT realize that these people are away from their families for 6 months and are probably homesick and lonely. you sounded like you had the time you needed for your vacation.
