Review summary

The Dream doesn't have a lot of the activities on other ships like a ropes course but I found enough to do on this eight day cruise. The service was great and I greatly enjoyed my first time in the Bahamas.

The food was awesome at several places around the ship.

Carnival Deli

The deli on Carnival ships should be better known. The food is great and they are open usually 11:00am to 11:00pm.

I fell in love with Half Moon Cay ❤

Food was only “okay”. Ship a bit shabby, not in tip-top shape.

We had a good time in spite of a few issues
