Review summary

The Carnival Dream is a beautiful ship with a fantastic crew. Everybody was so grateful to be back working and went above and beyond to take care of us. We spend a lot of time in the casino and the waiters were constantly making sure we didn’t need anything. The food was some of the best we have ever had. We can’t wait to go on our next cruise in January on the Dream again! ❤️❤️❤️

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We had the steakhouse twice, the Chef’s table once and Sea day brunch twice. We had room service once , Guy’s once, and the lido a couple of times. We did not have one bad meal! This ship is on their game!

Onboard Activities

Spa was fabulous!

Entertainment

We went to the 80’s show and it was fantastic!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was the best we have ever had. Everybody we had contact was very friendly and our room steward (Herry) and yes I spelled it right, was superb! He took care of every detail.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The crew is cleaning nonstop!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size , cleanliness was top notch. There is nothing g that I would change. The bed is never soft enough for me but that is my personal preference, not any fault of the ship.

Ship tip

Make sure there is no work being done in your area. We had hammering, grinding and work going on the deck below us. No afternoon naps for us and they woke us up too early.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We always love cruising out of Galveston. Very easy.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
We weren’t crazy about the port area. It was very hard to get a waiter to wait on us at the restaurant. The food was not good. We didn’t do an excursion. If I go back to this port, I will either do an excursion or stay on the ship

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Stayed on the ship and took advantage of the spa. Unless we do an excursion, it is not a port that I enjoy. Goff’s Caye is spectacular if you need an excursion recommendation.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We always love Cozumel. We didn’t do excursions this time but have done Passion Island a few times and Mr. Sanchos. You can’t go wrong with either of these. There is so much to do in Cozumel. We had a delicious lunch at Pancho’s Backyard and did some shopping. Then back to our nice cool room.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest we have ever done. We were in our car and driving away from the port by 8:00 a.m.

What part of the ship was your stateroom? A little late for me now but just wondering if to expect noise
