Carnival Dream Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I’m used to taking 7 day cruises. 5 days was a little too short. They need to change shoes due to frequent cruising.

Lorraine Larrew is the best hands down! She made this while vacation possible and as stress free as it can get. She stay on top of everything from the start of planning until after we returned. Best vacation I’ve ever had. Lorraine treated us like family.

Overall for the money this was a great cruise. There were plenty of dining options, drinks were delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent cruise. The Dream was a pleasant surprise. Great crew, good food and entertainment. The only drawback being the short stay in Cozumel which made our shore excursion a rush.

It was an excellent experience, now looking for my next cruise.

1. Its unacceptable to have shoddy safety, but inexcusable to perpetuate lies about it. 2. Customer service is truly atrocious, there is no accountability for any employee or employee’s actions, and management is truly invisible. 3. Guests who take the time to voice dissatisfaction or point out specific service failures deserve a cogent response. 4. Surliness is not just tolerated but rampant and accepted and seemingly rewarded. 5. Entire employee base has focus that is completely, irrationally wrong – interested in charging for everything and collecting money on top of copious amounts already collected. And the more time employee’s assist passengers with already-paid for items the less they can continue unseemly money grubbing. 6. Security is woeful, interested only in lording inauthentic power of passengers rather than insuring their safety in an expedient manner. I want the report of Carily, immediately. 7. The color coded nature of the ship room cards, sign and sail, whatever they are is an abomination and idiotic and ensures horrific treatment to those deemed dispensable or not worth providing even a minute modicum of service. It is actually discrimination as I have discussed with the FMC. 8. When the Carnival Dream sinks, I would bet copious amounts of money that Giuseppe Giusa, Shane and Gary the Cruise Director will be on the first lifeboat away from the ship (identical to the Carnival captain in the sinking and deaths of 32 on board in 2012), giving the passengers their last middle finger from Carnival as they depart salvaging all the liquor on board 9. I would like to recognize two employees that went out of their way to provide excellent service and care to me (even though I was marked with the sign of the devil – a Blue Card). One worked in the Coffee Shop on the Fifth floor – he works long hours but always is friendly and efficient and FAIR with his serving of customers and went out of his way to provide excellent service. Similarly, Apple BZ who helped me both in the Gathering and at dinner in the Scarlett lounge was friendly, caring, went out of her way to help several times and always was smiling and conscientious.

It was our first time cruising so we learn a lot about what to expect. We had a great experience that we are thinking about planning another one.

Excellent already planning another one. Shows was good. Played a lot of trivia. Family fun

My wife and I both feel like a part of the carnival dream family.

This was my daughter and my first cruise, and it was an amazing experience!! The Carnival crew is top notch, all the way around! Cruise director Gary was awesome! Can't wait to book our next one!!

Probably won't ever go on another one. Unless we have a bigger group go with. My kids didn't want to go do anything because they didn't know anyone, they are a little on the shy side. The buffet was a joke for picky eaters. Even my non picky eaters really didn't have much to choose from that they even would eat except salad.

It was ok I’ve had a better time on the Valor ship it seemed to be more things to do

Good overall but the disembarkation was horrible need more organization

Good cruise for money spent. Needed more activities for older adults. Loved the experience of the Mexican markets in Progresso.

It was an awesome experience for us. We will be going on another one as soon as we can.

We loved this cruise for our honeymoon and we definitely want to go on another one. Our room was perfect for us, our service was great, plus we loved the Spa amenities.

The cruise was great until I lost my Sail and Sign card on May 26, and was billed over 1000 dollars in merchandise. My banking account went into overdraft and I have had to dispute these charges. I have no idea who used the card that night and they had no authorization to use it. We are hoping that Carnival will cooperate with us

The cruise director Gary was awesome he came the time on the ship a lot of fun. And Gary in Scarlet dining was awesome he always greeted us by our name and that made us feel welcome. Costa Maya with the dolphins were so much fun .

The only major complaints were embarkation 4 hours and debarkation 3 hours. The other major complaint was elevators. We arrived on the ship not the normal gangway, but through where you exit/enter during excursions, so we were on floor zero. they had 3 elevators to take people up to the higher floors or you had to take the steps. I was with someone who could not take steps so we had to wait for the elevator and it took another hour to reach our room. I lost one full day on the ship getting on the ship. By the time we made it on board it was dinner time. During the stay they only had 3 elevators working in the FWD even though we had 9 elevators in this error. We had to start getting on the elevators going any direction up or down to be able to make it to our floor in a timely manner. This was the worst experience ever. This was my roommates first experience and she is disabled she will never do a cruise again. Getting of the ship was same only 3 elevators. 2 only took you to floor 2 and 1 took you to floor 1 and we had to catch another elevator to floor zero, another hour lost. I don't think I will ever use carnival again. The crew was great, but the long wait for elevators during the cruise and the long wait to get on and off the ship were so bad.

First cruise out of Galveston. Late from reposition
