Let me start by saying we had a great vacation. I personally believe that fun can be had anywhere. We loved the Dream's western route it included all of our favorite ports and we had a blast at every stop. This was our first cruise WITHOUT our kids and we planned on staying out and dancing until the bars closed down every night. On every carnival cruise I have been on there was normally an active nightlife, I guess we picked the wrong cruise. It was pretty much dead after 11-12pm, we were the only people at caliente several nights after 1am. As for the ship, we did not like it as much as the valor or legend. It just left us feeling like we expected more and Carnival did not deliver it with the Dreams layout. After this experience, we decided it was time to check out Royal Caribbean and see what they have to offer. Happy Cruising!
