Carnival Dream Cruises

On Monday, Carnival Dream, Carnival’s newest ship, left Rome for her first Mediterranean cruise. She carries 3,646 passengers, so she’s the biggest of Carnival’s fleet and she is making three of the twelve night cruises around the Med before travelling to new York for her naming ceremony. And if you think that it’s unusual to have three cruises before a naming, you’d be right!

Carnival Dream has a number of new features, as does every new Carnival Cruise Lines ship to leave the ramp, and things to watch out for on Dream include a two-lane racing slide, a two level miniature golf course and a new comedy club,. There’s also the Lido Deck on 10 which has the most elaborate and expansive open-deck area of any Carnival ship with a tropical, resort-style main pool complete with a Seaside Theatre LED screen, and the Serenity adults-only retreat. Then there’s the Piazza, an indoor/outdoor café and live music venue with a bandstand and a large circular dance floor. A floor-to-ceiling curved glass wall divides the room, creating indoor and outdoor seating areas offering stunning ocean views. There are also five-berth cabins for large families or friends travelling together.

After her naming, Carnival Dream undertake two eight-day cruises to the Bahamas and then she travels to Port Canaveral in Florida for a series of seven night Caribbean cruises.
