Review summary

Loved the Dream! Paid for a 5 day cruise and got the 6th day for free!! Gary the cruise director was outstanding and the staff from the bar to the cleaning was on point. Will definitely sail on the Dream again!

Embarkation

Could not have been faster! Honestly, less than 5 mins. Took longer to check my bag with the porter than to get on the boat!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was good, normal carnival food! Breakfast at the buffet could have been better but not horrible. Sushi was amazing as always and the steakhouse was the BOMB!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I have to say the cruise director Gary was amazing!! He seemed to be everywhere all at once, it seemed like there was always something going on. I felt like he was really good at keeping us informed about everything.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I only went to 2 of the shows, Love and Marriage which is always hilarious!! And, the 80’s show in the lounge. The DJ’s, trivia and karaoke are always fun!!

Ship Quality

For the most part the ship was in great condition, however I did notice several bathrooms not to be very clean at times.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Probably my least favorite port that I have been to. We didn’t book an excursion and that might have been our downfall! We took the bus into town and planned on going to the free beach. However we never made it! We were stopped by Sergio...who served us the BEST Mexican food I’ve ever had and 2 for $5 margaritas! We were harassed so much by the vendors while sitting there we decided the beach was out! Spent the rest of the day on the boat!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We actually got an extra day on the boat due to fog. We didn’t know when we were going to get off the boat for most of the day. Carnival did an OUTSTANDING job of keeping us informed and keeping things flowing on the ship. And once we were able to get off the boat it was a seamless process.

I enjoyed the Dream in spite of the fact some said it was not good. Vacation is what you make of it. We always make it fun and positive. Cruise on friends cruise on. 🚢⚓🍷🍺😘

Those people on a cruise to nowhere is well compensated. I would definitely take the deal they were offers along with a sail to nowhere

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. Love the Dream.

Glad you were able to enjoy an extra day.

Sadly though- that extra day for you caused the next cruise to only go on a cruise to nowhere. Sure hope there is NO fog when we cruise from there in Febr.
