Review summary

We really liked the Dream. We will definitely sail on her again

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was super easy and fast. We always do faster to the fun so I’m sure that helps. We think it is worth it

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was not the best we have had on other carnival ships. The main dining for dinner was disappointing. The food was not very hot and the same was for breakfast also Guys burgers are always a must. 4 day cruise. We at 4 burgers

The Chef's Art Steakhouse

5 out of 5

The steakhouse was excellent. It is a nice dining experience and worth the up charge. The food as well as the presentation and service were well done. We will do it again.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for the first sea day but there is always something to do. We lost some pool time but the weather was great by the time we got to Cozumel and was nice for the second sea day. Texas weather, gotta love it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We usually don’t do the clubs and shows but there was a good variety. Always something for everyone

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was excellent. Our room steward was Ali and he was excellent. Room was always perfect Casino staff was always great. The dining room service was also good. All the staff works very hard. I don’t think most people realize what long days they work. They are very much appreciated

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was saw was cleaned and well maintained. All areas were always near and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was amazing. It was a aft facing balcony. We were on deck 9 the balcony was completely covered by the deck above so even if it rained we would still be able to enjoy it. It was bigger than the decks we have had in the past. The only negative issue someone might have is the sides of the wall in between the two decks slope down toward the railing so if you were standing at the rail you can look on either side and see onto the deck next-door so it’s not as private as the decks that are on the side of the ship. That being said it is an awesome view and I think well worth it. The pool is right above you and I was a little concerned about that but you would never know it as it was a very quiet cabin. The cabin is also a very nice size with lots of room

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Last time we were in Cozumel we did an excursion but this time we just walked around in the port area and then outside and had a really good time. Everything is really clean and I did not notice people bothering you to buy things as much as some of the other ports we’ve been in

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It went exceptionally well. Seemed like everyone was being courteous and waiting their turn. We were out in no time

We enjoyed the Dream although we have liked all ships we been on. Just wont get a 2nd floor cove balcony again as we got woke up every night and we didn't use it often. Always nice to take pictures from and because of a delay and getting into Cozumel later it was neat to be out there and take pictures and video tape as we pulled into Cozumel.
