Review summary

Another great cruise on carnival. I only have 4 more booked now so I need another.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation at the Carnival Galveston terminal was far more efficient than the Royal Caribbean one a block away. We were on the ship in no time. Only 30 minutes after our friends who were lucky enough to get faster to the fun.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The main dining room couldn't seem to serve our group at the same time. Sometimes it was a 10 minute difference in times leaving some people eating while others waited. It was a little annoying. The food was ok though I preferred the food at the specialty venues.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
This is our 3rd time on the dream. Mostly because of the options.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was top notch. Mary Ann made a point to make our anniversary special.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This is the largest cabin I've had in the ocean view tier. 2 full windows and a large clear floor area.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Meh. It's a Texas industrial port. It's not ugly but don't expect much.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Our favorite port. We always go top iberostar. This time we had our renewal ceremony there. They were wonderful as always.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico
