We sailed the Carnival Dream the week of June 2 for the Eastern Caribbean itinerary. On this trip were myself, my husband, and our son (age 14). We all had a great time on this trip, and would sail both this ship and this itinerary again.
Embarkation: Extremely easy. We arrived around 11AM and were on the boat by 1145. Employees working in this department were very friendly and very fast.
Cabin: This was our second time in a balcony room. We love the balcony, and will probably find it very difficult to ever go back to just a window. The balcony gives you a quiet, personal space to enjoy the outside. The room itself was spacious enough for the three of us. There was adequate storage space. The bathroom is small, but adequate. Our cabin steward was great - he was always prompt and courteous. He did a great job of keeping our room clean and stocked with fresh towels and chocolates!
Great size room for the 3 of us - adequate storage. Bathroom was small, but sufficient. Balcony is the BEST!
