Let me begin by saying, that I am a relatively low key person -- easy to please for the most part. I am also a loyal consumer -- when I find something I like I stick with it!

Our cruise on the Carnival Dream was from May 26 through June 2, 2012. We stopped in Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan and Costa Maya.

The trip did not start off on a positive note and I think it was a foreshadowing of what was to come. When we arrived at ground transportation to take the Carnival transfer to the port from the Orlando airport we were told that the ship had not arrived back in Port Canaveral as they had to deviate the course due to a medical emergency. This was not too much of an inconvenience as they did send all the arriving guests to the ballroom at the airport hotel to await the transfers. Carnival did supply beverages and played a movie on a large screen. We were also told that each guest would receive a $15 credit to their sail and sign card to cover the purchase of lunch. We did receive the credit on the account without any issues -- and also a fuel rebate of $8 per person. I had to say, knowing that the ship would change course for a passenger's well-being, actually gave me a great source of comfort! Carnival did call my house, and emailed me, to let me know that there had been a change to the embarkation time, but I had already left the house for the airport long before they called with the message. It is my own fault that I did not use my cell phone number for the contact info on my profile. Something to note.
