Ship is too big. We spent more time waiting in line to do things and actually doing things. Don’t get me wrong they had lots of activities and lots of things to do but this was supposed to be relaxing vacation that hurry up and wait vacation.

No one greeted us when we get on board to tell us what to do.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Gotley dinner seating because that’s all it was available. Only had two couples at our table as being one of them. Felt rushed through the whole dinner process.
The Chef's Art Steakhouse
5 out of 5
This restaurant is outstanding, too bad it is an extra cost option.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
They were plenty of activities always going on. The problem is with a late dinner seating is that some of them are held during that time and you are unable to attend them. Most of the shows they had two showings so depending on your dinner seating you could do one of the two. In some cases this was not true. Also why do you assume that everybody wants to drink constantly. I’m tired of getting drinks shut down my throat the entire trip.
Cloud 9 Spa
4 out of 5
Went for a massage to relax. It was great until the end when the sales pitch came out. Why can’t you just go and have a massage without all the sales pitches.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Most of the musical showd were good. Some of the comedians were lacking.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The majority of the staff were very friendly. There were a few however who were rude. I attribute that to some of them being new and being overworked.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The design is not bad once you figure out how to get around.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Was a nice size room. The steward we had was awesome.
Nice visit to the sport. But need to control the tender situation better. We missed our excursion because there were too many ships and not enough tenders running.
I enjoyed Carnival Dream a lot and we never had issues with crowding- we also like Royal Caribbean promenade layout better, you should try a another type of layout system. They are very different .
About to go on the Dream for the third time. I love her. I don't recall ever waiting in line for things and I know I've never had alcohol pushed on me. It's unfortunate that you had such a bad experience. I agree with missing some activities during late dinner. I guess they would have to close everything down to avoid that ha. We just try to plan accordingly and make what activities we can :) However, I love the late dinner bc I don't have to rush in to get ready and late dinner is so much more relaxed and they aren't hurrying you out of there for the next seating. Maybe your next cruise will be more enjoyable.
