SHIP OVERVIEW

It’s one thing to be fun, but it’s another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a wave of amazingly fun Carnival ships; as the genesis of the Dream class, it set the direction for the ships that followed — first Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze. The ship itself is a unique experience. Get your appetite ready, because you’re gonna need it. Carnival Dream features two dual-level dining rooms, gourmet restaurants and of course, the everybody-loves-it Lido Restaurant. It also features Ocean Plaza, which combines tasty treats with perhaps even tastier entertainment. Entertainment options are all up and down the ship, as is water-based fun, from the heart-racing waterslide action at WaterWorks to the soul-soothing Thalassotherapy pool at the Cloud 9 Spa. Despite its name, Carnival Dream is definitely a reality.

Great Cruise. But, carnival Cruise Line needs to build a private island in or around Belize. That’s not a great stop
