Carnival Dream Western- Review with Pictures

[KCTravel]

Thanks for an awesome review Will! Especially appreciated the info about Xanatunich. I'm always checking out the Dream and doing an excursion with Mayan ruins so this was good info.

 

By the way--Kings Speech--for me, all about Colin Firth!!

Thank you, Thank you... We leave on July 9th on the same cruise. I was just talking to my hubby this AM about what excursions we wanted to do.. I know we will contact Victor Bodden and I am thinking the Mayan ruins in Belize too... We tens to do way more research before making up our minds.. I love heard personal experience from others to help us out. Your trip sounded amazing. I hope in July we have nice weather and not to many kids to run amuck...

My pleasure- any questions all too happy to help - here's another pic to help - my DW filming me from the beach as we sail off to the reef for snorkelling the 2nd largest reef after the Great Barrier reef. The snorkelling was arrange through Andrew, Victors guide, $20 each including gear

So jealous

 

Thanks for the tip on Key West hotel, we fell in love with Key West on our recent cruise and the Duval looks a great place to stay - have put it in our file of places to remember

 

Where were the people on the ship, your pictures don't have many in them - maybe we need to cruise this time of year

Fantastic review, best i've read on CC, hell i'll even forgive you from being from Wiltshire ;) (big Tranmere fan :D)

 

We're on the 13th May Cruise too and have booked Nachi Cocom @ Cozumel Cave Tubing in Belize but not done anything about Roatan or Costa Maya, we like action, anymore recommendations.

 

Thanks

I'd check out Victor Bodden- we had quite a sedate beach and reef snorkel day but he does do other stuff.

Fantastic review. We leave on the dream in 5 months. Loved your pics! Great job on the sunrises and sunset ones!

[Will&Hel]

Must be the camera ;)

 

Hey I think your right - all my pictures after 9pm are blurred. I'll take it back

[crusin4funtimes]

Great review, thank you for taking the time to write it.:)

[LBumb]

great job

[Gr8day]

Hey, Will! What a great review. Your pictures are awesome. I enjoyed meeting you and the others at the cocktail party. I hope our paths will cross again some day, perhaps on another cruise. Hugs!

Need help please. MIL & FIL are celebrating 60th anniversary onboard in 3 weeks. SIL has asked me to assist with making a door decoration for them. I have two questions.

1. Do you know the width of the cabin doors on CCL Dream?

2. What are the doors made out of. Have read some previous threads that said magnets did not work, and that the doors are fabric(?). Can you please help?

 

A big Thankyou

[EMc&DrS]

Thanks there are 1000 more photos :eek:

 

You'll love it have a great cruise- if you want a quiet drink found this bar on last day:

 

 

Rendevouz Club Lounge on Deck 4 across from the Library

 

Thanks for the tip! I'm adding it to my extensive list that I've put together over the past 3 months. Although Carnival is the "party" boat, we really appreciate some quality quiet time--even on vacation.

Giving you a standing ovation!!!!! Thanks for taking the time. The pictures are great.

[Ljp5365]

Thank-You. Now I miss the dream. I'll have to book another trip on her.

[Meyer2]

Loved your review & pictures!! Thanks for sharing.

[vacation dreaming]

Thank you for your review and pictures. I especially loved the ones from Belize. My daughter is from Guatemala and she loved that you could see it from there. :)

[Nanaimobound]

What a fantastic review and pictorial!

I did the same tour in Belize that you did in 06 and it was an unforgettable journey for my family and I. My kids still talk about that day.

Incidentally, it rained while we were on the ruins with gusty wind, and our entire party of 6 went down those slippery limestone steps on our bums as well! Although during that portion I was scared beyond belief, terrified for my kids, (thoughts of us all rolling down to our deaths),:eek: I still wouldn't trade that experience.

 

Thanks for a great review:)

[Hamitchell]

Great review and pics--thanks very much.

 

We had Bodden and x. Tour in Belize. We go Jan. 7, 2012 which is too long!

 

For costa Maya we booked beach break at mahahual thru island marketing which is same thing the cruise ships get, bit our kids are free--with carnival they are $75 a head!

[Hamitchell]

Sorry--$35 a head. Lost mine a moment ago.
