My big disappointment was my cabin location. Cabin 6400 was over the lounge. They played music ever night until 1am. So I could not rest in my cabin until after 1am when the music stopped. I reported it to the purser's office, but unfortunately since the ship was booked completely they could not offer me a cabin change. They sent me a letter of apology and give me a refund onboard credit of 15% of cabin ticket for both my son and I. And 15% discount on my next Carnival cruise. The voucher is good for two years with the exception holiday sailings.

My favorite part of the ship was the Cloud 9 Spa. I purchased a one day pass and loved it and then purchase a pass for the rest of the cruise. The Thalassotherpy Pool and Thermal Lounge was my favorite. Very, very relaxing. I highly recommend it for relaxation. I am doing the Dream again for they holiday cruise 9 day cruise this year 2010. This cruise includes Christmas and New York. This time I book a Spa Balcony on the Spa Deck 12 far from the music and close to the Spa. Unfortunately I was not able to use my 15% discount on this cruise. I will use the voucher on my next cruise on the Magic for my birthday in Europe.

We had anytime seating for dinner. This worked out well for my son and I, since we were travelling alone. With anytime seating you just have to waiting for the next available table in the anytime seating area. We did the Steakhouse on elegant night. The food, service and presentation were excellent.

Cabin 6400 and any cabin nearby will be problematic. These cabins are over an entertainment lounge. Loud music all night until 1 am. Most passengers in that area complained about the loud music under ther cabin.
