Carnival Dream sneak peek

When it launches in September 2009, the 130,000-ton Carnival Dream will be the largest vessel in its fleet. Key new features will be music venue with a circular dance floor and exciting whirlpool bathing pools that extend over the ship's beam – giving the impression that you’re actually floating above the water. Carnival is also claiming it will have the ‘most elaborate’ children's facilities at sea, including a water park with two water slides and for the golfers amongst us, there is also a two-level mini-golf course. An interesting new cabin configuration is on offer: family cabins for five with two bathrooms (one with shower, and the other with a minitub and sink) as well as ’cove’ cabins with a balcony near the ship's water line, spa cabins and suites with special amenities.
