The Carnival Dream was our introduction to the Spa Deck concept, where you have easy access to the Spa Deck, located directly above the staterooms, which includes the gym, the Thalasso Spa and an adults-only Serenity Deck.
As before, on our first Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Victory out of Puerto Rico, the embarkation process was smooth and surprisingly quick for the number of people they had to process through. The ship itself is physically very well maintained, if a bit garishly decorated.
Here are my main points:
Poorly located beneath the gym treadmills which caused too much pounding noise. Balcony was not immune from smoke from other decks below.
