Review summary

It was fun and the service was great. The cleanliness was wonderful and we want to go again. We would like to travel to Alaska the next time. We will definitely buy water for the trip

Embarkation

5 out of 5
People were really helpful. My wife twisted her ankle the day before embarkation and was unable to walk. They got her a wheel chair and zoomed us through.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The ship water would rate a zero. However, the rest of the food was great. The next time we travel we will budget for bottled water.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We really didn't participate in on board activities. We watched a couple of the movies, and used the pool and whirlpools, but generally everything was too crowded for us. We used the library and a couple of lounges for reading and playing cards.

Entertainment

We just didn't seem to have time for any of the shows.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service and staff were amazing and wonderful. Mariya, Belarus on deck 10 was so kind and helpful. Wassana was a bright light in our day! She was so happy and I saw everyone around her brighten. She was just amazing. Emir the head waiter was fun, helpful and his team was really amazing and we enjoyed our meal so much more! John, head waiter in Crimson was not very good and I didn't appreciate his service at all. He didn't give us a chance to ask questions when he delivered our food and drinks. His team didn't function as a team.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was fine.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our Steward was great and our cabin was good. Next time we will get two cabins for four adults, it was fairly comfortable.

Ship tip

Get two rooms for more than 1 couple instead of staying four to a cabin. Buy water!!! Don't plan on drinking the ship water. It was horrible.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
It was good. We just were so unused to the humidity that we didn't do all that we would have liked.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Had a great time. The port great, but very far to the taxi and excursion area!

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We did a non Carnival excursion and it was so fun! The port was good.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion. The port was good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
My wives ankle was still an issue, so we got assistance and again it was great.

Yes do an Alaska cruise. We did the glacier bay cruise on the legend in May and it was great! Also glad to hear you liked the Dream. We cruise on her in September
