We thoroughly enjoyed the entire cruise even with all the rain Cayman. The Dream is one of our favorite ships. The new shows Carnival has onboard are absolutely top notch. The story of Motion (last night) was a little weird but great stage effects.

Love the Dream. It has so many options for entertainment, food, and activities. The ship is very clean and flows very well.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We attended all the shows which were new this year (everyone of them) and excellent. The hot tubs were lukewarm on the Serenity Deck as well as Deck 5. That was ok because they tend to be too hot stay in too long.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Excellent in every venue.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
All were very attentive except our cabin steward. He did his job and the room was clean but he was more attentive to the needs of our friends in the cabin beside us. He was friendly to us.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cleanliness was great as well as the size. We have chosen this cabin for two of our cruises. We open the balcony with the room beside us, being that they come with us, and it is plenty large for a ship.
Ship tip
Deck five has very quiet and secluded hot tubs, tables and loungers if you want to get away from the hub bub of the ship. We really enjoyed them more than the serenity deck because they also gave shade.
We personally dislike Jamaica immensely. We got off the ship ad shop at the ten little ( I mean very little) shops at the port and yes the taxi people during the short walk did try and get you to buy their excursions. We basically stayed on the ship all but about 45 minutes.
We did the beach buggy and snorkel. Our guide was Ele (a man) was beyond excellent! The excursion was one of our favorite we've done in Cozumel (14 trips) The snorkel experience was great, the drive was beautiful and the food was wonderful. I can't say enough about this particular excursion. The port itself is a great and very safe place to take off and shop. They don't seem to harass you as much in Cozumel as they do other ports. We love it there
Never have we had such a smooth disembarkation. The paper work has been streamlined and very efficient as you leave. We do the self assist and we went from on the ship to car in record time of about 10 minutes.
