Service and Staff

5 out of 5
EVERYONE so friendly, helpful, polite. Hendra (stateroom steward) was great, prompt, very helpful. Our room was always cleaned within requested time frame, towel animals were a welcomed touch. takes pride in his work. Ardar (main dinning room waiter) was great. He knew all our names and greeted you by name each time. service was prompt and professional. Can see his love of his work.

With FTTF you board right after platinum and diamond members. Your cabin is ready when you board so you can drop off your carry ins. Luggage comes faster. You have a dedicated line at customer service. You get expedited tender passes. Well worth it. Love the Dream and Carnival

Do you recommend faster to the fun? This is my first cruise and I bought it and I’m curious! Did you get on the ship faster than everyone? And was your room actually ready?
