Overview
Carnival Dream is one dream you’ll never want to wake up from. Onboard, you have access to an unending array of great food and drinks, not to mention tons of fun. This ship has a water park, WaterWorks, which has waterslides and features like PowerDrencher and DrainPipe, which deliver a tidal wave of both water and smiles. When you dry off, head to Ocean Plaza, Carnival Dream’s multi-use space where you can eat, play trivia or dance the night away.

Booked excursions through my travel agent. They cost less and you don't arrive with a big group. Highly recommended.
Pros: Great Staff and Activities. Buy the Faster to the Fun Pass
Cons: Buffet was meh, but alternative restaurants and dinner was great
