Customer reviews for Carnival Dream
First visit to New Orleans. Holiday even better due to extra day on the ship!
We were warmly welcomed aboard the ship. Service was amazing, very polite and always a smile, nothing was ever too much. Room always clean and fresh, loved the towels. Evening meals in the dining room was excellent. Food amazing and Jorge our waiter was a treasure. Always plenty to snack on if wanted and great to have cups of tea available. This was our first cruise and we really enjoyed it, making new friends daily. The casino was a smoking area, which for me was a negative. Due to my lung condition I was unable to participate which was annoying as I really wanted to play in there. Maybe there could be two areas for the casino, one being smoke free?
