We just got off the Sunshine and overall it was an amazing cruise despite a few hiccups. The good
-Staff was very friendly and attentive. They worked very hard to keep the ship clean. We had an unexpected sea day. Our port was canceled due to tender issues/conditions and staff had to work hard to keep everyone happy. They did an amazing job. Shout out to our room steward Rosa who did an amazing ...
Should have checked the details of this ship before going on it. For 3000 passengers they had TWO hot tubs, one for the Serenity area and one for the rest. The Lido restaurant serving areas were an improvement with the pod areas for serving food instead of the single ones with the long lines. The good thing in Cape Canaveral, was the embarkation and debarkation which both were quick and flawless. ...
Carnival promotes their ships as "Fun Ship's", but a ship that oozes classic french art is probably not the best atmosphere in promoting letting your hair down.
Whether it was the classic art motiff or the particular passengers on this cruise, it was indeed a subdued week. The large waterslide that dominates the lido deck was criminally underutilized. The Serenity hot tubs were out of ...
We (mid 60s) decided to take our daughter(30) and son-in-law (40) on a cruise. We have been on several cruises, first time for them. The main reason we picked the Dream out of New Orleans was because we wanted a long day in Key West (8-5). Our son-in-law is an avid fisherman and we wanted to fish in Key west. We flew down on Saturday January 27th. We took a cab from the Airport to Maison Dupuy ...
First ship was late to arrive. Had 2 life flights the first 2 days, which I know isn't their fault. But we lost our first stop in the Bahamas to stop in Cape Canaveral to unload 2 more emergencies. We stayed there in Florida till 5 of 6 which made us late to Nassau.
I signed up for the Shallow water dolphin adventure (don't pay full price!!!) we were supposed to be there at the ...
This cruise worked for us in terms of time and the fact that we had not been at any of the four ports of call. We also prefer small or mid-size ships with under 3000 passengers.
We also had not visited the Fort Lauderdale area before and were able to spend time before and after the cruise exploring the area.
Before the cruise we stayed at the Ramada Inn Airport/Cruiseport. It is an ...
We have enjoyed many cruises with Carnival and 3 on the Dream. We chose this cruise because it was going to Key West. We choose cruises by destination. We like to go new places and see different and interesting things. We like the Burgundy Lounge comedy and the Encore shows on the Dream. Breakfast in the Scarlet Restaurant is great. The BlueIguana Cantina, the Mongolian Wok, Tandoor and Guy's ...
Cruise # 44 turned out to be the WORST! We picked a cabin with an adjoining door - BIG mistake. Next door was a crying & screaming infant (probably sick) The adjoining door feature allowed little buffer from the noise. After many days & hours of irritation we had to call the service desk to DO SOMETHING; they called the cabin & no one answered.- Why? The parents chose to leave the infant ...
What a step back in time and service. While the boarding delay might be written off to a late arrival from the prior cruise, all else was avoidable.
It started with walking down the deck to our cabin. the fading carpet almost emitted a light show where the service cart had been placed thousands of times before. The entering the cabin determined that there was no refrigerator. When asked the ...
This was my husband and my first cruise. We left from Jacksonville on the Elation. While the ocean was a rough, it did not stop our fun. There was always something going on. The ship was beautiful! Amazing colors. The Carnival Hub app is amazing. The night before we would select our favorite events on the schedule for the next day and the app would send reminders. The crew was fantastic. ...
