Heard good reviews about the new, large Dream so took a chance with Carnival. Ship has too many folks for the size of the ship. For example, swimming pools are smallest I have ever seen. Dining rooms were poorly designed with very cheap materials. Layout of Scarlet was very bad in that it was full of nooks and crannies like a mid-level restaurant. Bench seat was too low with very bumpy padding. Got apology from restaurant supervisor saying he was no way responsible for the poor design. Most ship's main restaurants have wide-open views, this large restaurant had very limited views. Our table looked at a stairway!

Had an inside cabin on second deck that was small, only seat was a small stool. Never had a cabin before with no chairs or love seat. TV was a nice flat screen. Room steward did a fine job.

Main theatre was a poor design with a lot of poles and bad seats.

Cabin Review

Very small inside cabin with only one small stool to sit on. Bathroom small but OK. Closets OK. Adequate storage under bed, which made closet OK. Had mini frig with good selection of drinks. Good selection of TV channels on flat-screen TV. Had a room safe. Cabin steward did very nice job with ice and towel animals.

Good location on second deck.
