Review summary

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Main dining room was very blah. Undercooked (raw) chicken, over cooked steaks - many times, no tablecloth most days and when they did, they were ‘pilled’, understaffed, etc. The free auxiliary dining options were great (burgers, pasta, burritos, bar-b-que) Buffet was average

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool was saltwater, fitness area was well equipped

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Piano bar great, comedians great. Stage shows not great

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Understaffed but they did their best. The dining room staff were very personal Often tables in common areas were left uncleared

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Size and cleanliness were good. But there was endless banging, along with the stage show music, singing and drums.

Ship tip

Stay on floor 10, mid ship. We experienced significant motion in forward cabin

Nothing is wrong with the food. These people did not do their research on cabin locations. A cruise is what you make of it and these folks chose to be miserable. Love the Dream and Carnival

Ive been on the Dream three times and have never had a cruise aboard her to give that kind of a bad review. I guess Im more opened minded when it comes to things that are not quite so perfect as some may expect.

I have sailed on the Dream many times and never experienced any problems. We have always had a great cruise. We love the Dream.

I was on dream in November and everything we ate was great. May have just been bad timing.
