Carnival Dream Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Over all I won't cruise again on the Dream ship; very disappointed. The ships needs major improvements. I did enjoy the private island was amazing.

Liked using the Carnival app. Had a schedule for every day and were able to book an excursion through it. We could pick and choose what activities we wanted to be involved in and had a good time. There was always something to do for all ages. The only drawback was The Chat on the app. Had to pay for it and very rarely worked. We had a big group and weren’t able to keep in contact like we thought.

It was a great cruise. It was my third and my husbands first. Will definitely do it again with Carnival.

The dream was the most boring boat I have been on

The quality of the food and entertainment has gone down since Covid. We will probably not book on Carnival again.

Great family adventure - focusing on both the parents and children by providing us with family-friendly activities while also allowing both the spend time together seperately.

Overall the cruise was very good despite the couple of minor issues. I do think traffic police could do a better job in getting traffic into the Galveston port more efficiently. It took us about 45 minutes to get into the port because we had to wait in traffic just outside the port area causing us to miss our priority check in time,

We are seasoned cruisers but it was the first time for our daughter and grandkids. They really loved everything, especially the late night pizza and anytime soft serve ice cream! They have plans to do another cruise in the future. Overall, we enjoyed the ship, the ports of call, and the staff but especially our dining room wait staff, who really played a large part in creating a memorable experience for our family.

Carnival always delivers on service and smiles. Learning experience on these ports. Wish there were more options for excursions.

Average cruise with less than average entertainment. I still had a great time due tot he friends family and people I met along the way. But, Carnival didn't move the needle much in order to keep me happy and entertained.

Awesome from beginning to end. The 8 days were just enough to re-cooperate in the spa after the 4 days of ports. Son enjoyed his graduation cruise and husband celebrated his 56 birthday with many family and friends.

This was by far my least favorite cruise. Please change the food... I look forward to going to dinner but this cruise the food was not goid.

Galveston is so much nicer to cruise out of than any other ports we've been out of. The ship was great, staff was outstanding, we'll be back!

Best part of this cruise were the Verterans on board and the appreciation of them showed by staff.

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

The family enjoyed it we like the Vista better but this was only our second cruise. The main dining room was the only complaint.

Do not believe we will use Carnival again. misled use about this cruise, no included gratuities or drinks

Beverage Package issues were frustrating as a F&B manager of a busy convention center: Turns out issues were kid related…Kids and non drinkers having to wait at bars for usually highly intoxicated guests to get their custom blended drinks didn’t seem very “family friendly” and created very long waits for for the bubbles package. Kids sitting at bars most of the cruise taking up space traditionally for adults getting beverages and creating longer waits was an on going issue. Also it was obvious that the bartenders often didn’t appreciate soda duty no matter how hard they smiled through the pain. Honestly I hated taking them away from adult beverage service to get me a can and other guests who needed to take advantages of their bartending skills…Lastly getting rid of straws (which are part of your typical dining experience) but printing up receipt paper for every can of soda is hypocritical at best. *thought it was a bit weird at best asking an 8 year old for a tip given the details of the bubbles package.

Unable to dock in one port. Long waiting in another.

We really enjoyed this cruise. It was the first long cruise where it was just the two of us. We meet great people & just relaxed. We heard that the night time entertainment was great but didn't attend any of them. We would definitely do this one again.
