Review summary

To us the quality of a cruise has gone down with Carnival. When we first went we felt like Royalty this time it was like nothing more than customers they had trapped trying to sell us junk constantly. So we've booked an all inclusive vacation with airfare for same amount next!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food and drinks both were very bad!! Tea taste like kerosene! Water has a nasty taste to it food is terrible! I'm sorry but it's the type of food you find in a low quality restaurant like Denny's! Quality has gone down!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I will say this was the first CD that got my attention and got us involved in activities!! Him I'll give an A+ too!! Flying Scottsman Chris is great!! He doesn't over do the announcements but enough to let you know what's going on!

Entertainment

This was the first ship my sister and I sailed on. We were excited to go sailing again. But throughout the whole cruise we were totally disappointed! Rarely were we greeted by our room steward like the first Cruise, which was part of the are you feel special! And trying to get through the halls without having something handed to you was impossible!! Commercial at ever corner! And we'd be on time to our dinning table put our order in but for some reason two round tables come in late but got they're food first!! This was the first time we left nothing extra in tips cause we felt like second class to the others even by our room Steward!

You have sailed on the Dream before and you did not know there is only one plug???The Dream is a great ship and Carnival staff is the best on the seven seas!!!!!!!!
