5 Night Western Caribbean (Galveston Roundtrip)

Sail date: December 23, 2019

Ship: Carnival Dream

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 4 years ago

Review summary

The ship is the original Dream class, and it shows. Lots of rust and lights not working. Needs a full makeover. Gary and the staff made up for this however. We only encountered a few rude ones. The other passengers for the most part were just plain rude. The amount of kids was ridiculous. We won't go over a holiday again. Kids all over, running around all hours of the day and night, no parents to be seen. Smoking in the room next door, and the next, loud music on their balcony late at night, smoking, it was the worst I have ever seen. All in all it was okay, we had a good time, we just wont do this ship or Christnas break again.

If you go over a holiday there will be zillions of kids. Do your research. SOME parents just let their kids run wild. LOVE THE DREAM AND CARNIVAL

We had a wonderful time on the Dream in May of this year. My daughter’s said it was the best cruise ever.

We loved the Dream but won’t go over holiday breaks except for summer which is only time we can go.

Thanks for confirming our thoughts for sailing Christmas week. Sadly, we are finding many fellow passengers are starting to feel entitled and rude to each other. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.
