Carnival Dream Review. August 16th Boarding

[tiffy0428]

I had cove balcony 2334. This balcony room was right off the elevator midship. It was very convenient and I never heard noise. I never had to worry about balcony noise, smoking, or privacy. This was great.

 

 

 

 

Atrium again

We had early dinner seating. The food was great every night that we ate in the dining room. We had a four top and our table mates were a nice young married couple.

 

First dinner night

 

 

I had two of these every night

 

This talapia was very good

 

I forgot what this was, it s Ryans food.

 

I swear my towel animal looked like this all week.

Monday August 17th which was also elegant night

 

I got a lot of sun. I didn't play any ship games I didn't eat much because the lines were just way too long for me. Whoever said there's a smell on the 1st and 2nd deck was right and at times yes its very noticeable .

 

I got a nice tan

 

Never used the spa but here's some pictures

After dinner I actually made it to a comedy show. My one and only comedy show. The guy was very funny, I don't remember his name. I laughed throughout the whole thing. After the comedy show we went to the dance club and I must say the music was good every night that we went. I danced and drank and ppl watched until the wee hours of the morning. I was excited for this day to be over, because the next day we were having a 1hr open bar and then a cabin crawl. PSA, please excuse my grammar, I am doing this review from my phone since my computer is down.

I got up on this day excited about our 1hr top shelf open bar and our cabin crawl. I organized the open bar and Sylvia organized the cabin crawl. The open bar was $25.30 per person for top shelf and you needed at least 20 ppl and the cabin crawl was $5 per person.

 

I had about 6 makers mark on the rocks at the open bar party and it felt good to watch everyone enjoy themselves. Now the cabin crawl , we went around to different rooms. We were offered shots, and liquored infused candies, just everything. It was a great event. There were ppl coming out of their cabins at two in the afternoon yelling at us saying we are too loud we apologized and kept moving.

 

After going to all the rooms we met up at the aft pool to find out who the winner was. After doing that we all decided to jump in the pool with our clothes on. Man we got so many rude remarks, curses, and security called on us. I didn't mind I paid my money just like everyone else. We didn't stay in the water long. We did it all just for fun.

After all that excitement , it was time to get ready for dinner.

[tiffy0428]

I was so excited to finally get my behind off that ship. I got up had breakfast and left. We did Sunset Beach Resort. They offer free transportation but some how I got bamboozle and paid $20 for a cab like a dummie. We had so much fun. We kayaked, swam , and drank and ate the whole time. Ryan got so drunk I told him to take a nap.

 

Pulling into Jamaica

Lazy river

 

 

I didn't do any shopping in Montego Bay. I just did Sunset Beach and went back to the ship. After all that sun, I was tired. I never made it to dinner that night.

Thank you, I really appreciate that . I needed that .Second at my job every year we have a prom. This year it was 80's theme so I got that dress. The dress ended up being a huge hit . while at dinner an older lady walked over and stroked my face and said if nobody tells u, you're beautiful and your dress is amazing. Thank you again.

You're going to love the cove balcony. I would sit out there and just look at the water. After being on the other decks and noticing that there isn't much privacy , I can say that I prefer cove balconies. However I will book the other but cove balconies are great.

That's exactly what I plan to do!!!!

[tiffy0428]

For this day I didn't have anything booked, at the last minute Ryan wanted to go swim with the Sting Rays and go to Rum Punch beach or whatever it was. So that morning I got up and went to guest services. $119 later we were booked for the stingray's. I put on my sun tan lotion and headed for the tender. Again faster to the fun wasn't needed . I was booked on a carnival excursion and they took us right away.

 

I absolutely hate tendering . it always makes me sea sick. All that moving and the motion boy oh boy I just couldn't wait to get to shore. After waiting for about 20 minutes we finally took our short tour around the Caymans. I found out that you have to invest 2.3, or 3, million dollars into the economy In order to be a citizen, and their dollar is worth more than ours. Their chickens walk around freely, and I saw a lot of dead iguanas in the streets.

 

Finally we made it to the little boat that we had to take to the sand bar. It was a pretty cool ride. The guy spoke to us we looked at the water and he explained the process for the stingray's.

 

When we got out to the middle of the ocean I was scared saying to myself how in the world can we possibly be out here without drowning. Well i didn't drown lol. Now I don't like slimmy things or animals. Ryan got out there and kissed the stingrays and he was loving it. It was a great experience, while watching a kid scream at the top of her lungs for her mother to help her.

After swimming at the sandbar you get back on the little boat and go to this little beach area. They had jet skis, rental cars, food and drinks. It was a very nice place. The food was great , the drinks were excellent, everything was good. Only thing was that it was expensive, however worth it. We ate had our drinks and went to laye down. I swear as soon as we got comfortable and ready to tan , it was time to go. Oh was I mad , real mad ok not real mad just mad because the fun was just beginning.

 

Now here we are back on the little boat headed back to the main island. One of the workers jumped in the water and everyone was looking like what in the world is be doing. Well low and behold he had saw a starfish and jumped in the water to retrieve it. I thought he was going to come up with Sandy Cheeks and Spongebob but nope just Patrick Star.

 

We continued on our journey then something hit me.....I looked over and said ",Ryan I forgot your credit card back at the island". He looked at me ( this isn't the first time I've misplaced his credit card),

And shook his head. Now because the ride was about 45 min to am hour we couldn't turn around. I got the manager on the phone amdnshe agreed to mail it to us. That was nice but trust me it wasn't going to help being as though that's the card we were using for vacation.

 

As we approached land the driver handed me his phone , it was the store manager . she said hey I'm only a 45 minute drive from you let me bring the card to you . I'll be there by 2pm. You talking about someone happy boy was I happy. In the mean time while we waited I went and brought me some turtles , I love turltes. And I sat in the hot sun waiting. 2pm here she as pulling up. She Gave us the card and her business card and we gave her some cash for her troubles.

 

That really made my day . when I got back home I sent her a business card. We did a little more shopping and waited on the long line to get back on the ship.

How incredibly nice of her to bring you the card. We need more people like that in this world. ❤️

 

 

PS

Cayman Island was/is a great place to go . I am not sure if I would ever go for a shore vacation, but I believe it serves its purpose for a cruise vacation. 7 mile beach is absolutely beautiful and the people there are very nice. Outside of 7 mile beach, the water is just gorgeous.

 

Next up on our vacation is Cozumel Mexico.

We had a blast. We had met about 152 ppl before we cruised on the book of faces . those were the people that we did the open bar and cabin crawl with. We meet some great friends for life.

Back when I first booked this cruise I knew I wanted to do something adventurous with Ryan here. I booked this xrail adventure where you drive and then go to the Jade Cave, however they no longer allow people to go inside so I canceled it. When we got off the ship we found some guys outside and booked a tequila tour. We paid $100, we got a stick shift car and drove all the way around cozumel.

 

It was soooooo fun and hot. If you get sun burned bad please wear a long sleeve or make sure you wear like 200 proof sun block. We stopped at little shops and places , lol this little man offered me pot I laughed at him he said I'm sorry you're not the police are you. No bit you should be careful. At the tequila factory I tasted some of the best tequilla however the price was way out of my range. I did leave a tip though. I saw women on the back of mopeds holding on to their little 9 mth old babies.

 

It was just beautiful and amazing. I went to MC Donald's and got a fish sandwich I was missing junk food. Our tour guide was nice and I made sure I gave him a nice tip at the end. I got to see a beach full of seaweed and one with beautiful blue water. This was the most fun I ever had in mexico.
