Carnival Dream or Freedom of the Seas???

[KieransMom]

I am in the process of planning a 2009 Xmas cruise. I've booked the Freedom of the Seas, but I am now really wondering if I should cancel and book Carnival Dream. I will be traveling with my DH and two sons who will be 4 and 7 at the time of sailing. For the same price as two inside staterooms on Freedom, we could get a deluxe oceanview on Dream. We just returned from cruising on the Independence of the Seas, and, even though we really loved the ship, it feels like we will be repeating ourselves. Just wondering what you would do... I've only cruised with Carnival once and the experience wasn't great.

 

Thanks for an advice.

Would you be getting one cabin or two on the Dream? If you would be getting two oceanview on the Dream for the same price as Freedom then I would say go for the Dream, but if you will be going from 2 staterooms to 1, I say stick with Freedom of the Seas.

I am not partial to insides. So no matter how much I loved Freedom and Indy, I don't know if I would do them in an inside with kids. For that reason, I would book Dream.
