Additional details

Sail Date: Feb 2010

Embarkation: it was very easy and organized, however line ups were very long (and we got there early!). But staff was pleasant and helpful and lines moved smoothly.

Ship: the Dream was beautiful, very big, but if you've seen one Carnival ship you've seen them all! Layout was pretty much the same. However, the Lanai deck was a nice addition, as was the Serenity adults' only area, but the Serenity area was very windy because it was on the upper deck. We never had a problem getting somewhere to sit up there. If you want the most sun, score a spot at the aft of the ship near the Sunset pool. The Encore Theatre and the Burgundy Lounge were not big enough to accommodate the amount of people on the ship, so if you want to see one of the shows in there get there at least 30 minutes early.

Accomodation/Stateroom: our ocean view room was very nice and spacious with lots of closet space. We were happy to see the addition of a second shower/sink in the room, however we never used it or opened the door because it had a horrible odour in it, perhaps sewage, but the smell didn't bother us as long as the door was closed. We smelled the sewage smell in the hallway once in awhile but it was mild and dissipated pretty fast. The room steward Henry was great and ensured our room was always in great shape.
