We have cruised several times with Carnival and we have not been disappointed. It is always a fun and pleasant experience doing Carnival Cruises, for me and my husband. Galveston, Texas is our homeport- with only 5 hours of driving. We decided to do a short (6-day) cruise from Galveston after a somewhat long 2022 Carnival Mediterranean Cruise and several days of pre-post cruise stay in Rome ...

My husband and I was looking so forward to going on a cruise this year since we havn't cruised since 2019 because of Covid. This was our 14th cruise with Carnival and it was by far the worst. We started cruising in 2009 and a lot of things have changed since then. But it has changed drastically since 2019. They seem to be short staffed with some them being rude and disrespectful. I have never been ...

The food was amazing! They have so many gluten-free options! Paul Mark was our awesome waiter every night and he was the best! Buffet food had so many options! American, Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, French, Sandwiches, and pizza! The Guys' burgers were amazing! When we were in Belize, I was the only person on the Serenity Deck! High recommend staying on the ship for at least one port day. Lei ...

First cruise and I can honestly say this will be my last trip going on carnival dream . I wouldn’t recommend to anyone it’s more so an older cruise. The excursions are not in order like they should be. The WiFi goes in & out. The tv signal doesn’t stay on. They replay the same stuff over in over. The events on ship aren’t worth going to mostly. The workers are courteous. But they don’t know there ...

This is my 7th cruise on Carnival. All of them from Galveston as we live just north of Houston. I actually think this is my last Carnival Cruise. I've followed the Video Bloggers and I'm up to date on the price increases and service decreases but unless you have been cruising before I don't think you will notice it but for someone who has been on 15 different cruises II noticed it right away. ...

Disappointed with the Dream

Cruise was for our anniversary. Lido deck is too crowed with deck chairs in front and sides of pool, which means when music is on you can’t get up and dance. The lido seems a little closed off, usually you can see the hot tubs and kids pool fun area above. During the movie nights, we had drunks screaming with bartenders egging on their rudeness. People had to tell the drunks to shut up, you know ...

A cruise is what you make of it. The Dream is a dream.

Relatively new to cruising, having only cruised to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico, in the past. My wife told me that this 8-day cruise was the best vacation we have ever had. Why? We chose to make this Carnival cruise a means to find enjoyment in being together, taking advantage of the ports and what the ship offered. Choosing to go the value way, allowing for more cruises, we opted for an inside ...

We chose this cruise out of Galveston, within a reasonable drive from Austin. Also, the itinerary to Key West and Bahamas was enticing as we'd never been to those ports. Was a very easy boarding process and we had a great balcony cabin mid ship. Overall the trip was great with wonderful service and the food never disappoints on Carnival. I was concerned with the ship's age, however it was well ...

Well Carnival has definitely been saving money on the food offerings on the Dream. The steak restaurant was so disappointing! We took the Panorama last December and our meal in their steakhouse was one of the best meals ever. I guess they're trying to recoup lost money from Covid. Also the main dining room food was just mediocre; you can get the same food in the buffet and not have ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first cruise ever in my life and will unfortunately be my last! I was very discouraged in so many things on this ship. First the check in process in Galvaston TX was a cattle call with no organization and the agents were rude and just screamed at you for you to get in line. That was the first impression. The food was good as long as you ate in the resturant every night. The rest of the ...
