Carnival Dream Review
Mixed feelings - but pretty sure that I will avoid Carnival.

Additional details
This was our first cruise. However, our family is well traveled. We have lived and traveled overseas and all around the US. I consider myself to be very frugal but willing to spend money on quality when it seems appropriate.
We have never been to the Caribbean and knew that we wanted to hit Eastern Islands on our 1st trip. I priced out our options and chose the Dream (as opposed to its competitors on the same or similar routes) based on cost and somewhat favorable reviews. I would describe the last week on the Dream as a mixed bag.
The ship, its entire staff, comedians, shows, cruise director etc. definitely met my expectations. Jaime the cruise director was so energetic and authentic. We loved trivia with Mr. B and Ben. The kids loved the Fun Force dancers. All 4 comedians were great. Everything was clean. Room steward was amazing.
Cabin Review
Interior Upper/Lower
8402 - 2 ceiling pull down beds and one king. Adequate room for 4. No complaints about size. Quiet. No noticeable noise in halls, above/below. Good location - center floor and slightly closer to the back where food and pools are located.
