Cruise Fleet:
Carnival Dream

Ship Summary

It's one thing to be fun, but it's another thing to be first. When it comes to Carnival's latest series of floating fun-fortresses, this ship was the original, blazed trails at sea... and started it all.

Carnival Dream was indeed at the origin of the recent wave of amazing, fun ships, and as the genesis of the Dream class, set the direction for the ships that followed. And what a direction they've become, first with the Carnival Magic and even the upcoming Carnival Breeze.

But back to Carnival Dream: this ship is an experience in itself. Get your appetite ready, because you're gonna need it. Carnival Dream features two dual-level dining rooms, a gourmet steakhouse and the everybody-loves-it Lido Restaurant. It also features Ocean Plaza, which combines tasty treats with perhaps even tastier entertainment. Entertainment options are all over the place, as is water-based fun, from the heart-racing waterslide action at WaterWorks to the soul-soothing Thalassotherapy pool.

Despite its name, Carnival Dream is definitely a reality. Can't believe it? Pinch yourself... and book your dream cruise today.

Innovative New Staterooms

Particular attention was paid to Carnival Dream's accommodations, as several innovative new types of staterooms will be introduced. The line's first-ever "cove" balcony staterooms - located closer to the water line - offer beautiful sea views and exceptional value.

New deluxe ocean view staterooms - featuring a unique, guest-friendly configuration with two bathrooms - will provide the ultimate in comfort and convenience for guests who can enjoy their unique spaciousness, particularly families. In addition to twin beds that convert to a king, ample closet space and elegant decor, the two-bathroom configuration will include one full bathroom and a second bathroom featuring a junior tub with shower and sink.

There are even staterooms that can accommodate five guests - a rarity in new ship construction and also ideal for families. Additionally, there will be a wide selection of balcony staterooms and suites from which to choose - all offering the best in scenic cruising. Additionally, adjacent to Carnival Dream's luxurious Cloud 9 Spa will be 65 spa staterooms and suites which will offer guests a number of exclusive amenities and privileges.
