BigB0882 Posted January 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It is official, we are booked on The Dream for early April!! We got a cove balcony, it is very near the elevators but I am hoping the doors don't open out towards the hallways. If so, we will just try to make the best of it. We are so excited. This will be my 2nd cruise, my first cruise was in December and I have been thinking about when we could go again since we got home from that trip (it was on the Elation). Didn't think it would be so soon but I am thrilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LREcruise02 Posted January 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Enjoy and congrats! Love the Dream! We are on her the week before Easter so probably right before you. Our 2nd time on the Dream but first out of New Orleans! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecruiserofships Posted January 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I really enjoyed my cruise on the Carnival Dream last year. Here is a link to my review (contains lots of ship pictures) on my blog: http://www.embarkandaway.com/carnival-dream-7day-bahamas-cruise-review-2014.html Enjoy your cove balcony and cruise! I have heard great things about the cove balconies. I'm guessing based on your original post that your first cruise was on the Carnival Elation. I really enjoyed and loved the Elation, but (in my opinion) my cruise on the Dream was a thousand times more fun. Hopefully you have a great time too!

thecruiserofships Posted January 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2015 This might help you with your research of Cove Balconies on the Dream. This is a link to Zydecocruiser's photo guide to cove balconies. http://www.zydecocruiser.net/CarnivalDream/coveDummies.htm Hope this helps and sorry I didn't mention this earlier. I just thought of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks so much for the link, incredible pictures of the cove balcony! LREcruiser, yes, you must be going the week before we go. We leave on Easter Sunday which is probably the day you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejchron Posted January 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We were on the Dream last May and we're leaving on her again Super Bowl Sunday. Can't wait. You'll love it. ejchron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnwinos Posted January 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We just got off Dream in a Cove Balcony near elevators. The doors open in both the front door and the balcony. We loved our Cove Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshow Posted January 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Elevators open to a lobby area. Hallways are behind the elevators. You will be fine. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigB0882 Posted January 22, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks, I had no idea about these roll calls! I will check it out! I have a question about any time dining. We chose any time dining and it is 2 of us. Are there tables for 2 or will we have to sit at huge tables with other people? I prefer it to just be the two of us, at least until/if we make friends on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted January 22, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Has anyone done a roll call thread for our cruise? I am not seeing one in the roll call forum. I did get added to the FB page, though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you got the Pack and Play offer for $120 pp for balcony? We saw it show up in our offers and were a little upset because we already paid full price but we still took advantage of another Pack and Play offer in June so we will be sailing on the Dream again this summer. :) This cruise is first, though, and only getting closer!

Yes it was....I was in the process of booking with Norweign for the end of the year and by chance decided to look at Carnival Sunday morning and saw that promo...can't beat that rate so decided to book for April.

We were on the Dream last July and absolutely loved our cove balcony. It is so private and close to the water. Such a different effect than being up in a higher balcony. This time we are in a balcony on Deck 7. We can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
