We sailed with a group of 35 out of New Orleans.

We had a wonderful cove balcony cabin 2441. I was very worried about being right under the galley, and thought it would be very noisy. Apart from once or twice, I never heard a thing. I did bring along a small fan, which probably helped. The room was very nice, with adequate storage and very comfortable. WE loved the cove balcony. It was so private and cozy. One day we had a Thunderstorm, and it was awesome to sit outside and watch the rain and lightening! We saw a few flying fish, but no dolphins.

The food on the Dream was just like all the other Carnival ships. The buffet was not so great, but I don't usually care for buffet food anyway. The pizza was wonderful, and there is a little hidden Italian sit-down restaurant on the 12th floor, only open for lunch on sea days. Most people don't even know it's there. We did the steak house one night, and it was absolutely fabulous. The best steak you will ever eat. The main dining room was nice. You can have all the shrimp you want on this boat, as the shrimp cocktail is on the menu every night, and a couple of nights there is friend shrimp also. We also enjoyed the sea day brunch. Be sure to try the macaroni and cheese with bacon. It's wonderful! Read more
