Review summary

Cruise ship was very nice . Entertainment was very very good . Food was delicious. No one can say they were bored , way to many activities to take advantage of. Carnival Dream is truly a "Fun Ship"

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were scheduled to check in from 1030am to 11am . Everything went quickly with the exception of the elderly lady who checked us in. We had two groups with our group of 3 going to the counter first. The other group of 4 were checked in and seated in the waiting area 5 minutes before we were.

Ship Quality

Ships layout was very easy to navigate. For the Dream just recently out of dry dock I was disappointed in the condition of the seating in the lower auditorium - many cushions not sitting in place correctly

If you just are going to the beach DO NOT use hop on hop off bus($19) . It's not worth it . A cab will get you there for $ 6 each way. Buses are scarce during rush out when ships are in port We snorkeled at the public beach Nice reef about 50yards offshore

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Beautiful but a bit pricey. Shop around there are still deals to be found. Snorkeled on our own at Eden Rock. Rented a locker there but really didn't need it . Snorkeling was fantastic there. Then went to 7 mile beach the rest of the day .

Cozumel, Mexico
