Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Lots of options for everybody! Loved lido,guys hamburgers, ate at our dinning restaurant every nite, delicious. Bbq place is pretty bad, a lot of people were leaving full plates of food because it was horrible.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
They had very few, I was a little disappointed in this cruise activities. And the 80s etc was at 10:30, to late for our family.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We loved the violin music on deck 3, they we're wonderful, didn't attend shows in theater as they we're boring for us, have done others in the past that we loved. Only listen to some sing it was pleasant.

Carnival Dream is a nice ship, getting a little rusty here and there.

Cabin / Stateroom

Had a couple of problems with the water in shower, they tried to fix but never worked, it would get stuck and wet the whole bathroom floor. Ricardo cleaned every morning and evening.
