The Carnival Dream is a beautiful ship and was very enjoyable. We did not care for the ports of call, Key West, Freeport and Nassau. They were very short stops and very dirty.

Review summary

The ship was gorgeous and the staff was excellent. Liked being on the ship more than the ports of call visited. There were too many UNSUPERVISED children running around and a great deal of freeloaders on board. Ran into some great people from different parts of the US. The stops were short and unimpressive. Will not choose these destinations again.

FYI, everyone on board pays for it. There are never any freeloaders on any cruise.

Freeloaders on board? They paid for a ticket just like you....smh. And personally, all of the destinations I've been to on a carnival cruise are stunning.

If you're able, avoid cruising in the summer and any school break times. There will be very few children. You couldn't pay us enough to cruise when there will be high numbers of children. Lol

The Dream is a great ship. Our 1st cruise was on the Dream and we cruised on her again last year. She is still one of my favorite ships!! I am sorry you did not enjoy your cruise more.

Maybe the freeloaders were begging for money or something to eat.

Haha are you implying that people snuck on the ship? I'm not understanding the freeloader comment
