Carnival New Orleans Cruise Reviews

Since my boyfriend and I live in New Orleans, it was a no-brainer to take a cruise on the Carnival Dream. We did not bring kids, but there were many on this cruise. It was a real mixture of age ranges and races on the ship, which was nice. We were dropped off at the Port of N.O. at about 1pm, the line was long but embarkation went pretty quickly and smoothly. We noticed that a lot of people in ...

I didn't enjoy this cruise quite as much as my last one on the Carnival Freedom that I took with my mother. Part of it may have been the company since I went on this one with my husband who is kind of standoffish (this was his first cruise) and he insisted on spending most of the time in the cabin on sea days. The wait staff in the Scarlet dining room were very attentive but obviously ...

We were part of an alumni group (Geaux Cajuns) that cruised the Carnival Dream on May 14-21, 2017. We upgraded to a 6th floor balcony room which proved to be a good move. The room and bed were comfortable. The balcony was private as you had to lean out to see below. Just over our balcony were lounge chairs and not far down was a hot tub and other outdoor furniture. Some time during every day we ...

On this cruise was myself, my mom and my sister. We had a really good time on the ship, spent a lot of time in the casino. Embarkation went pretty smooth. We arrived about 10:30 and was surprised at how full the parking garage was, had to park on top. Sat in the priority lounge, it was very full. They had some drinks and cookies out. I want to say it was a little before noon when they ...

Embarking in New Orleans was a bit slow but certainly organized. We had to sit for almost an hour before boarding started. I was in the Platinum group so I checked in around 10 am and was not on board until noon. The ship could use a major facelift. It was old. My balcony was rusty and unkepted. I was in an Ocean Suite. Dining was good. My servers Paul, Roberto and Jose were very ...

This was a cruise that I planned to do something different. I wanted to try another port and New Orleans was recommended by a friend. This cruise went to some of the ports I wanted us to go to that we had not done before. Jamaica and Grand Cayman were two places that we wanted to see. We had not been on a ship the size of the Dream. The majority of our cruises had been on Conquest and ...

We chose this cruise for 2 reasons first we wanted to revisit NOLA on our 25th wedding anniversary and secondly to see Jamaica. We sailed the Dream on 3 other occasions and were excited to sail her again. The food was up to par nothing out of the ordinary. Our room was a cove balcony and we loved it! The shows in the main lounge were very well produced and the cast was excellent. As usual the ...

All experiences with this ship were amazing! No complaints except with the shore excursion operator, which is beyond Carnival's control. Cabin and steward were perfect! Food and wait staff were amazing.We met our cabin steward as soon as we arrived to our room and he was always around. The CD, the flying scot, is the best that I have experienced in over 10 cruises. NOLA is the easiest port ...

5th time Carnival cruiser, probably our favorite ship and cruise, I highly recommend the Dream. The following is in no particular order. Really liked the layout of the Dream and how the promenade deck flowed. I don’t know what the condition of the ship was in before the refurb, but my impression was that it was in fine shape. The crew seemed well organized and they were constantly ...
