Carnival Dream May 29, 2010 cruise review for Western Caribbean itinerary.......
This will be a long review but a very thorough review. My husband and I are new to cruising but we researched for months before we went on our cruise. I will address a lot of the issues that we read about before we cruised. I will try to include information that I would have liked to have known before I cruised on the Dream, little things that will make your trip more pleasurable. My husband and I are in our mid 30's and have no children. This was our first week long cruise and enjoyed it very much. We had a Spa room on Deck 12. This was great!!!! We were able to upgrade our room to a spa- balcony room about 2 months before the cruise for only $100. They seemed to not be selling at the regular price and when we saw that they had them reduced, we jumped on it and paid to upgrade. Best decision we made!! We used the spa facilities every day, but one. We really got our money's worth!!!
We drove from the Orlando airport and arrived in port around 12pm ... Embarkation was painless and quick. The only confusing part was that when you arrive at the port, you follow the signs to the dropping off place for luggage and you pull into little marked off areas to unload your checked bags, then back track to the parking lot or the parking garage to park your car.
Cabin Review
Spa Balcony
Spa room had really tacky paintings. The paintings were in bright colors and looked like children painted them. I think a more tranquil feeling should be portrayed in the Spa Balcony rooms. The closets had ample space. The bed had plenty of room under it for the luggage to be stored out of the way. The room was spacious and the bathroom was a nice size. The Sewage odor that came out through the ventilation in the room did put a damper on our time in the room. The balcony was nice but could have used a little roof or coverage as the people on the Serenity deck can look right down into your balcony and they are close enough you can talk to the people looking over the railing.
