Carnival Dream 3/20/10 - 3/27/10 Western Caribbean Review.
For review purposes we live locally about an hour north of the port. I am 41 and the wife is 45.
3/19/10 We stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott about a mile and a half from the port. This hotel is decently priced and offers shuttle service to the port. The rooms are fully equipped with kitchen, dishwasher, all the comforts of home in a 1 or 2 bedroom suite accommodation. We stayed in a 1 bedroom with 2 queen beds and the beds were absolutely comfy.
Small closet, balcony doors make lots of noise when slammed by neighbors. Close to elevators for all activities and disembarking the ship.
