Bingotommy Posted November 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just booked a cruise for February 2020 out of Galveston and was wondering if anyone had some good tips on this ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyotravel Posted November 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I would start by going to the Reviews page on the top of this forum and searching for Dream. Also look for video reviews on You Tube on line; they are often very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can go to the top of the opening Carnival page here, and search for the ship you are looking for and it brings up all posts about it. Tons and tons of info.

Lottacruises Posted November 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2019 My tip is to have fun. I've been on the dream quite a few times and have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Love the fifth floor where you can walk around the the outside of the entire ship. Oceans plaza another great area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted November 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Avoid embarkation day crowds by taking the staircase behind the atrium bar to deck 4. Then take the empty hallway to the back of the ship. Then the elevator up to deck 11 for lunch in Pasta Bella. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted November 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just FYI, due to Texas laws, Cheers is not available until the day after embarkation. You also can't get certain Carnival-specific drinks (like the Blue Iguana Chipotle Passion Margarita blah blah, the name is so long I can never remember the whole thing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted November 29, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2019 If the OP is booking a balcony, it may be best to check the deck plans and not reserve a cabin directly over the hot tubs on deck 5. There's usually a bit of noise coming from them and it might be a detraction from enjoying the balcony's benefits. Probably better to book deck 8 or higher while in between the hot tub locations.

It hasn’t been busy like the lido buffet when we were on the Dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
