Cabin: Balcony

My husband and I sailed on the Carnival Dream from November 13th thru November 20th. Every year we try and go on a cruise for our anniversary and so far so good we have been doing so. This year we decided to go on the Carnival Dream since it was brand new and we wanted something very nice.

Let's start with embarkation:

I have read quite a few reviews of how quickly this went. I don't know if it was because we were on a "full sailing" but it took about from start to finish an hour to get on-board. We arrived at Port Canaveral at 11:30 and didn't get on the ship until 12:30. They call you by zones to get on the ship as well as off the ship later on if you choose so. You sit in line with a bunch of people and everyone starting mooing like we were a bunch of cattle. lol. Though it is always what you make of the situation and my husband and I had fun right from the start.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8E

Cabin was very spacious and plenty of closet space. Bathroom was very adequate and shower was nice. Bed was very comfortable. A/C could be a little colder. The aft balcony was a very good size.

Only complaint really was the only stations you could get were Denver news and traffic. There time zone is different so you couldn't see any prime time shows. No local stations at all and no local weather reports which would really help while you are in port.
