Sail Date: Feb 2014

Our eighth Carnival cruise since 2002 and we really liked the Dream, one of the more beautiful CCL ships we’ve been on. Also the largest to date and there were the typical crowded spots but we never felt too crowded. We were on the Western Carib itinerary sailing February 1 and we hit Cozumel, Belize City, Roatan, and Costa Maya. We’ve enjoyed one prior visit to Belize and Roatan, and we’ve spent a lot of time on Cozumel on previous cruises and while staying in the Riviera Maya. This was our first visit to Costa Maya.

For this sailing the early dining worked perfectly for us at all ports, we didn’t have to rush back for dinner and enjoyed lunch in every port, especially Belize. We cruised with friends on their very first cruise and so we watched as they experienced everything for the first time.

We stayed in staterooms 7381 and 7387 starboard aft and we enjoyed nice views of most ports from that side. Although Panorama deck was the same price as Empress I chose Empress deck to have the same room stewards that take care of the suites as we usually enjoy excellent service from these stewards. David was our steward and he was remarkable, the best room steward we’ve had since our first cruise in fact. He anticipated every one of our wants and needs including emptying the mini-fridge so we could use that for our drinks. Ice bucket was always filled 3 times a day, and even a bucket for our wine was filled as well. Can’t commend David and his staff enough for the service they provided!
