January was my husband and I 10 year anniversary , booked this cruise with a cruise agent which we have used before and had a great time. I must say that the ship is beautiful, but feel that they did not enough staff for that size ship. We have cruised before with Carnival and had a great time, cruised on the Paradise July 2012, the best time so far.
We had your time dinning, and had a 30-45 minute wait every night for dinner, they would give us a beeper, which did not work in your stateroom. Made the best of it, since we are smokers we went up on deck, which is where we spent most of our time anyway. Always enjoy the ocean view, fresh air and the blue water. After telling our cruise agent since that was one of the questions, yes 10 years, Carnival did nothing for us but a piece of pie. My husband paid for decorations and champagne , which I got to see on the sign and sail card , room Stewart left 2 days before the cruise was over for his vacation , and the replacement did not come to our room on the last night of the cruise, even though the duty free sales were brought on the last night. We complained to our cruise agent but have heard nothing.
Weather was bad, missed two of our ports and got $4.10 per person back. Will try Carnival again, just smaller ships. Food has always been great, weather buffet, or sit down fancy, I did notice that the cocktails were more expensive on the Dream then others.
