tree.critter Posted August 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2013 This is a real good place to start: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1368692&highlight=everything+dream I enjoyed our Dream cruise so much in 1/13 that we've got her booked again for 12/7/13 and the reposition cruise 4/5/14.

Beth Posted August 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Love the Dream. Been on the Dream twice already this year & have 2 more booked on the Dream. Jamie is a fantastic CD, out & about all the time. The Black Jack band on deck 5 is really good and plays requests. Can be crowd during peak times on Lido on sea days, so plan accordingly. Casino has been good to my husband, so no complaints there. Love going up to Serenity deck and laying out with a good book. Just have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have been very complimentary of Black Jack but we were not thrilled with them. Think that most of the Phillipino bands were better.

wranglerguy Posted August 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Loved the lani area. Loved the tandoor buffet. Disliked the crowds. Disliked camp carnival being on top of the ship. Over all we liked the Dream we would go on it again. We are a big fan of the spirit class. IMO they need to build more of that class not the big ships.

Rare Tapi Posted August 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Feel free to click on my Dream review (link in my signature). Best thing on the ship? The Chef's Art Steakhouse. It's a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarribeanDiva Posted August 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Most people have been very complimentary of Black Jack but we were not thrilled with them. Think that most of the Phillipino bands were better. Is BlackJack still on the Dream? I like them. I am not impressed with the Phillipino bands.

CarribeanDiva Posted August 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2013 what's a reposition cruise? They are moving the Dream (repositioning) from Florida to New Orleans. Her home port was FL and after this cruise her home port will be NOLA. We board in Port Canaveral and debark in New Orleans. Come join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicNac4498 Posted August 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The Dream is my favorite Carnival ship. The cruise director Jaime is the best I have ever had and so is the assistant cruise director Gumbie. Great shows. Great food. A really nice looking ship. Glitzy, without being gaudy at all.

Eliot Ness Posted August 21, 2013 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We really liked the Dream on our cruise last year... we loved the cove balcony because you're so close to the water. All-in-all she is a beautiful ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmagpie83 Posted August 21, 2013 #17 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The Dream in an awesome ship! I was on it this past January and am booked again on it this upcoming January. I DO wish they had more of the 2.0 restaurants (the italian one, guys, blue iguana, something)... BUT, it works out because we're sailing either Breeze or Sunshine in September 2014 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted August 21, 2013 #18 Share Posted August 21, 2013 As you can tell by my signature and our past/future cruises, we love the Dream!! Going to be sad to see her move to another port:( Like the pp stated, just wished she had a Guys Burgers! We are looking forward to one last trip on the Dream next month!

Rare mitsugirly Posted August 21, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I normally cruise with NCL and decided to give Carnival a try since NCL pulled their ships out of the Caribbean when I'm able to cruise. We went on the Dream and I have to admit, I LOVED IT!!! I have a FULL review with TONS of pictures of everything in my signature line if you are interested. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandemcruzr Posted August 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We've been on the Dream twice and have a B2B booked for Jan 2014. We spend a lot of time in the Serenity area, love the steakhouse, our balcony, Black Jack Band, Ocean Plaza Bar before dinner, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingRNC Posted August 21, 2013 #22 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello, I just returned from sailing on the Dream Aug 10-17. My son was married on board while we were in Grand Turks. The ship was beautiful, well maintained. My room was very quiet despite my being one floor below the Lido Deck and the Gathering. I never heard noise from these areas. The food was delicious and I always left the MDR stuffed. Hope this helps. Bon Voyage Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
