Myself, husband and two daughters (ages 10 and 11) sailed on the Dream May 22-29. It was an end of school year trip and we had been looking forward to it for months. We were not disappointed!! This is our second cruise, both with Carnival, and we are addicted!!
We drove to the port on Friday, May 21st and spent the night at the Radisson. Roll call group met at Fishlips for dinner. We were going to take the hotel shuttle to the ship but we wanted to get there a little earlier so we called a cab. John with Checkered Cab took us to the ship for $10.00 and we ended up having lunch on the Lido deck before our hotel shuttle was scheduled to pick us up.
Embarkation was no problem. We breezed through, no lines. We did have to wait for a few minutes in the holding area before boarding. We chatted with a nice family from Texas and the time flew by. Carnival started boarding earlier than scheduled and we were on our new home for the week with no problems.
