Carnival Dream is the kind of ship to keep going back to. Excellent overall experience!

5 out of 5
Galveston onboarding is dramatically improved versus 2 years ago. Through the process in less than 20 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Fine dining is a highlight of the trip for me. 2-3 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 deserts. I recommend the 'Mickey Mouse' for desert! Also, take all breakfasts at the restaurant rather than the Lido Restaurant.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The cruise director was the best I have ever seen! Really outstanding! Ice sculpting was an enjoyable event to watch.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Unexpected quality with the theater shows! Comedy club is kind of fun. Roving musicians were mixed with the three Argentine violinists at a '5' and Oleg and the Country Duo at a '2'.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Carnival has customer oriented staff. This particular cruise was fine, but my rating was influenced be the previous 'greats' I have experienced on Carnival.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Dream is a really solid ship. Very Good design. I recommend going to the eleventh floor for end-to-end walking from front to back and vice-versa.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This 'handicapped' room had a port hole window. Quite the added benefit for an 'interior' room.
Ship tip
The crew do a great job keeping the public reestrooms clean. I suggest you find some of the lessor used public restrooms for your bio breaks.
Onboarding is dramatically improved versus 2 years ago. Through the process in less than 20 minutes. Check out is improved and much quicker than previous cruises.
