Review summary

My family of five had a great time on our first cruise aboard the Carnivals dream. Our room was great and our beds were very comfortable even though we shared one room.  We all enjoyed the the many entertainment activities on the ship, from the kids scavenger  hunt and other age appropriate activities, to the evening shows, bingo, trivia, and many forms of music and dancing. We also greatly enjoyed the food and loved having the different options for dinner each evening. The destinations were great and gave us a taste of multiple locations we had never visited. Overall a great experience!

Ship tip

We purchased a package of bottled water from the ship prior to sailing. This came in very handy and was very cheap since it was prior to departure. One thing I would do next time is bring a 12 pack of my own soda on board. Only coke products on board and only Diet Coke available which I don't like.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Jamaica was not our favorite and is not easily accessible if you don't know the area. I would recommend an excursion that goes to a hotel or resort for a day. we visited a public beach and toured the island briefly. Interesting to see the area and beautiful Beach but We would have enjoyed nicer amenities and better food options.

George Town, Grand Cayman

We did a dolphin and sea turtle excursion that was amazing, but you actually come aboard the island in a large tourist area. You could actually not do any excursion and just get out and shop eat and explore at this destination very easily.
