Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Drinks were great but the food was a little disappointing. We have been on several cruises and this was the most disappointing food experience we've had. I would still go again, but just trying to figure out if Carnival food quality is going down or if it was just the Dream ship.

The tween club seemed unorganized. They had a schedule posted but my kiddo would often be disappointed that they weren't doing the planned activities.

Circle C

No organization to this group. Disappointing to my tween.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our room steward was fabulous and most of the staff were great! The staff at the steakhouse was wonderful. We seemed to get assigned to one set of staff for dinner in the dinning room and the service was extremely slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

9450 is a good cabin BUT it is right under the Pizza Parlor area so you will hear scooting chairs all night long if you are not a deep sleeper. I was concerned about this booking the stateroom but we went ahead and booked because it was the last joining room available.
