The Carnival DREAM April 17th - April 24th 2010 Western Caribbean Cove Cabin, Deck 2 (Main Deck) Mid-Ship #2301

Before I begin, let me just say that this review is based on the time and accomodations listed. This is what we experienced on OUR cruise. The review is not intended to give an over all DECISION on a cruise on the Carnival Dream so PLEASE don't respond or E-Mail me with negative remarks about OUR experiences on OUR cruise.

EMBARKATION: Carnival finally has gotten it when it comes to embarking. It is just a shame that the Port Authority at Port Canaveral is slacking. We stood on a line for 10 minutes just to be told we had to go to another line because her line didn't facilitate check on luggage with wheels. Would have been nice if they posted signs or had someone walking down the line explaining that to people!! We only waited on the next line for 10 minutes, but when your standing in front of the ship, you just want to get ON!! Carnival boards by a "Zone" system. When you check in, you are given a zone card with a number on it and you wait for that zone to be called. When we checked in, we were given zone 14. They were calling Zone 10 at the time. It took no more than 15 minutes for them to get to Zone 14. We actually boarded at the same time my brother and Sister-In-Law (who were Platnum, VIP members) boarded. We arrived at the port a little before 11am and were onboard about 11:30am. Not too shabby!! Read more
