My husband and I went on the Carnival Dream Dec 11 through the 18th. This was his ninth and my eighth cruise on Carnival. We have been on a total of 20 cruises total.

Embarkation was very easy. We go to the port around 10:30 and we were on the boat by 11:15 and went straight up to the buffet to grab some lunch. After lunch we booked the VIP passes for the spa for the whole week. It was wonderful with steam rooms, thalassotherapy pool and heated chairs and lounges in the relaxation rooms.

Food for this ship. Buffet was OK I have had better on other Carnival ships. Grill,Deli,Burrito Bar and Pasta section were very good. I don't understand why they have a Tandoor section on Carnival there is never anyone in line for this food, put something else that will be popular with a lot of guests. Dining room food was very good we did anytime dining since we don't like the assigned times. Read more
