All previous postings have covered much positive and negative of this ship. There is no point in repeating other points of view already posted. My sailing was not much different than the few prior to mine, including change of direction due to the nasty storm ripping through the Western side. I did want to see Nassau and now plan never to return but it was good to see St Thomas after 13 years. Two KMarts on such a small rock was a little too much. I'll pass on any future Eastern excursions.

I'd like to share our dining room experience as it turned out to be the highlight of our sailing, for the most part. We had sailed many years ago on Legend out of Tampa and acquired friendship in Mr. John Wayne and Mr. Ruwan R. John was then an assistant waiter, Ruwan being an assistant Maitre d',four years later they end up on Dream, in YTD Crimson DR,deck 4. It was a pleasant surprise since both of these gentlemen remembered us. Thanks to both of you for making the cruise as nice an experience as it was four years ago on Legend. If you are lucky enough to get YTD and end up on the Crimson DR by all means ask for John Wayne and say hello to the best Senior assistant Maitre d' Carnival has on their ships. They will make it a memorable cruise, even if the food isn't going to step up to your expectations because it didn't mine.

We signed up for the Chefs Table on Monday. For $150USD(2 People)it was very much not worth it. The first part of this event started in the Song Lounge, a nice and quiet beginning of something that fell apart as soon as we relocated to the main Galley. The constant noise and distraction of every crew member trying to get food out to their sections and tables made it very hard to hear presentation. We did enjoy the Chefs Art Steakhouse as always. Food and service was impeccable. We always make a visit to the Concierge Desk and have our gratuity charges removed from our billing so that we can tip accordingly and at our discretion. Read more
