purplemusik Posted July 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Morning!! So, I'm riiiiight about to book the Feb.8th 7day Eastern on the Dream and was speaking to someone from Carnival and she advised me that I should really consider another date because the ship seems really full. She said, " I don't know if it's the Super Bowl or something but I'd book on another sailing!" After we hung up I realized we'd be gone on Valentines day! Duh! I kind of like that idea even more. I've been on about a dozen cruises and I'm sure there's been a few that were full... I just never asked/was told. So, my question is...is it really THAT big of a deal? I'm aware that lines might be a little longer but is there anything else I might be overlooking? What's it like being on a sold out ship that is as big as the Dream?

lifeisgoodPat Posted July 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2013 As far as I have always been told, Carnival sails full MOST of the time. So, go and enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruisin4cruisin Posted July 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I would assume 95%, or higher, of the cruises are full. They could be saying that its pretty full this far out, so they might think that it is a large group that booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelvee Posted July 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Dream had ~4,600 on board for our July 13 sailing. :eek: I was amazed how uncrowded it felt most of the time. Though we don't hang out at the pool - I imagine Lido was crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittysnme Posted July 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've been on the Dream when it was sold out 4,000+ passengers. It wasn't that bad. Sea days around the pool are always crowded and buffet at peak times is crowded but nothing terrible. Go for it and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
