Carnival Dream

Dream Class review covers: Carnival Dream, Carnival Magic, Carnival Breeze

Overview

Carnival's Dream class, the largest and longest ever constructed for their fleet, ushers in an exciting design concept for the line with a new layout, sleek hull, and distinctive profile. The line has made maximum use of the vessels' added size by creating some truly spectacular on-board facilities and amenities. Unique is the Ocean Plaza, an indoor-outdoor café and live music venue with a large, circular dance floor. A massive floor-to-ceiling curved-glass wall separates the room, creating comfortable seating areas with ocean views and, in a first for Carnival, a half-mile, open-air promenade encircling the ship.

Four "scenic" whirlpools located on the promenade cantilever out over the sea and offer maximum views while you're soaking. Higher up, the Lido Deck is the most elaborate open-deck area of any Carnival ship, with a tropical, resort-style main pool complete with a Seaside Theatre LED screen; a two-level adults-only retreat (called Serenity) with comfortable seating and full bar service; and a huge Carnival WaterWorks aqua park featuring one of the longest water slides at sea. Carnival Dream's family-friendly amenities include separate, purpose-built facilities for the line's three distinct children's programs, along with a full schedule of activities catering to each age group.
