I found it!!

That shows who's on what ships?

Just wanting some pictures people have taken or videos.

Does anyone have any pictures of this room?

I sailed with my daughters, ages 8 and 10, and my mom. My husband got sick of cruising (crazy!!!) so this is our 3rd annual ALL GIRLS cruise. We had an amazing time and I have lots of details to give about our time on the ship and our excursions (Little French Key, Starfish Island, and Nachi Cocom).

 

 

 

Before I get involved in my review, I want to get the negatives out of the way:cool: I have a few gripes that did not ruin my cruise in any way, but things that I don't like. The rest of my review will be mostly positive, so bear with me for a minute here....

 

 

 

first, we were disappointed with anytime dining, which we chose because 6pm dinner was not available when we booked the cruise, and 8pm is too late for the kids to eat. It took hours, literally, to make it through a meal. We were getting there at 5:45 and not finishing up until after 8pm. We had to leave before dessert (which was fine) on the last night because we wanted to watch an 8pm movie at the seaside theater. And we never got to personally know the wait staff. We missed that part the most. I hope to never do anytime dining again! It was definitely not the end of the world, just not for us.

 

 

 

Second negative: WE MISS THE CHOCOLATE! I know, I know, super petty and not a big deal, but my kids love getting the chocolates on the bed. BOO on Carnival for taking away that small perk.

 

 

 

Third and final negative: I am gold VIFP and am no longer invited to the past cruiser party (or whatever they call it). I have been to that party many times and now I'm not eligible anymore?? And my free drink coupon could only be used on the last day of the cruise after 5pm. So basically they're telling me "OK here's a free drink coupon, but we really don't want you to actually use it, so we're going to try to make you forget about it." And my mom and girls didn't get their free drink since they aren't gold. (they got free drinks last year) They got bottled water instead, which I had already purchased a 12pk anyway. So OK, whatever. Again, small stuff here, but it does make a difference.

 

 

 

Alright, done with the venting and on with this review! I took over 400 pictures so this will be a pic heavy review :)

Yes the past guest party change pisses me off as well. I remember when I was red and was able to go to a few and then they changed it to gold while I was still red. Then after I finally made Gold now they have changed it again. Damn I've been working my ass off to get to where I am and they keep taking it away from me over and over. I guess next they will change it to diamond when I make platinum.

I bought a Ferrari watch on the Dream in February during the 70% off sale. Paid $100 for it only to find out when I got home that I can buy one here exactly like it for $80. I will never buy any Jewelry again on a cruise ship.

What is Bitter n blanc ?

August always has a lot of kids. We're going Sept 4th on the Breeze out of Galveston

We will be on the Breeze Sept 4th

I just got off the Dream and it has definitely started lacking in the entertainment. It was by far the worst cruise I have been on as far as entertainment. Plus the staff change on it is so different. They don't pay as much attention to your cabins on there anymore. Used to the stewards were always going above and beyond to keep your rooms clean. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the cruise it was just not up to the usual standards I have become used to.

Ok im a single male 41yrs old.. Any other singles going to be on this Cruise?

Already have

I'm a 41 yr old single father and will be taking my 18 yr old son for a early Graduation present. Hope to meet more single people on this cruise to hang out with.

Just got back a week ago!!! You will love this ship.. The crew is awesome and the ship is really nice and clean..

We are up getting ready to leave for Galveston . The wedding is tomorrow and we got a call from a family member saying to us " oh so and so is going with us to the Wedding and needs a place to ride". This so and so is a kid that they did not tell us about, his mother dropped him off at there house packed for the trip and went out of town.. So then the family member got mad when I told them that the kid could not go because its to late to put them on the list. They said well we can't go if he can't because he has no where to go with his mother out of town.. So I said " well I guess your not going ether then" smdh!! People just don't listen.. Oh we'll our Wedding is tomorrow and we are ready to have fun .
