The Carnival Dream is more like a Carnival Nightmare. My family of five has been on six cruises, and this one is definitely one of our least favorites. First of all, on the lido deck, when you are laying poolside you have to listen to depressing country music being played all day. I have nothing against country music, however on a vacation I would appreciate a more “happier” upbeat music (like Caribbean music on a Caribbean cruise??!!!) rather than music that makes me want to put a bullet to my head or jump overboard.

Secondly, the entertainment was severely lacking. The cruise director, Hennie, hardly ever had anything planned to do during the day, and when he did there was no information about it. For example, we knew from previous cruises that there are tryouts for the guests to be apart of the show on the last day. You try out on one of the karaoke nights. Hardly anyone knew about this, so some of the spots weren’t even filled, or they were filled with crappy singers since only one person tried out.

Third, The buffet seemed to always be closed at the convenient times. For example, if you wanted to go to one of the shows, the buffet would be closed when you got out.
