Carnival Dream

About Carnival Dream

Live the dream on Carnival Cruise Line's 130,000-ton, 3,690-guest Carnival Dream. Exciting amenities and activities, a host of enticing dining choices and spacious accommodations make her a perfect choice for a multigenerational cruise vacation. Stroll along the promenade, a 20-foot wide outdoor walkway with an outdoor seating area that opens up to one of the ship's highlights — Ocean Plaza, filled with live music, dancing, bars, and a variety of food venues.

Highlights also include the adults-only, outdoor two-level Serenity area for a delightful retreat where you can melt your cares away. Start the day with a dip in the Thalassotherapy pool followed by a massage at the Cloud 9 Spa that will leave you feeling new and rejuvenated. Find a favorite souvenir at the boutiques and browse the duty-free shops. Soak up the sun at three swimming pools and delight your senses in whirlpools that extend over the side of the ship providing unforgettable views. Thrills galore away at the WaterWorks aqua park with an exhilarating four-deck spiral slide.

Family-friendly throughout, Carnival Dream offers Camp Ocean, where kids ages 2 to 11 are kept busy with lots of fun ocean-themed activities and entertainment designed just for them according to age. "Seuss at Sea" and the character parade will give ear to ear smiles.

Bring your appetite because out-of-this-world cuisine is served on Carnival Dream, which boasts a myriad of fabulous dining choices , including casual, formal and al fresco options. International dishes and American favorites are served at the two-level main dining rooms, Crimson and Scarlet, where you can dine in beautiful settings. Head to the popular Lido restaurant called The Gathering, which features pizza, burrito and pasta stations, a New York-style deli, Indian Tandoor, Mongolian Wok and more. Classic steakhouse fare is offered at The Chef's Art and savory delicious sushi is offered at Wasabi. Convenient room service is also available 24/7.

Make yourself at home in spacious and comfortable accommodations — many with ocean views and balconies. Special "cove balcony" staterooms offer "up-close" sea views and more interior space. Guests in Cloud 9 Spa staterooms and suites have additional in-room, spa-related amenities, as well as a soothing and relaxing spa theme.

Enjoy conversation and your favorite drink with friends at various fun lounges and watering holes, such as the popular RedFrog Rum Bar, where you can try Carnival's very own ThristyFrog Red Beer. Other chic venues include the always popular BlueIguana Tequila Bar and Sam's Piano Bar where you can hear your favorite tunes. Dance at the popular Liquid Nightclub and watch a show at Ovation, the main lounge. Try your luck at the aptly named Jackpot Casino. You will be dancing in your seat at Playlist Productions and watch a movie outdoors at the huge screen at the Carnival Seaside Theater. Sing your heart out at The Song Karaoke bar and settle in for a delightful night under the stars at Dive-in Movies where blockbuster films are shown on an immense poolside screen. Let your dreams come true on the Carnival Dream.

The Chef's Art Steakhouse

Deck: 12 Spa

Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious — book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the Steakhouse. Our menu features mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrées, gourmet appetizers and an extensive wine list. The atmosphere pairs remarkably well with — and perhaps even enhances — the culinary creations of our gourmet chefs.

Pizzeria Del Capitano

Pizzeria Del Capitano

On Carnival ships, the captain tends to be kind of a big deal — almost a celebrity. On a few select ships, they’ve even got their own pizza kitchen. The best part? Pizzeria del Capitano is open to everyone, 24 hours a day! And since our captains tend to be Italian, you know the quality of the ingredients truly pass muster. (Sorry, nautical pun.) Hand-tossed dough, made from imported Italian flour, plus fresh mozzarella form a solid base, and a choice of toppings put the finishing touches on this piping hot, fresh-from-the-oven mealtime — or anytime — classic. (Also, try our caesar salad

Mongolian Wok

Mongolian Wok

Chow down on some delicious Asian goodness. First, select your noodles and veggies. Then tell one of our chefs which sauce and meat you want in the wok. Will it be mussels and Szechuan? Beef and Thai barbecue? Chicken and black bean? Don’t worry, the decision doesn’t have to be final — you can come back to Mongolian Wok and try all the combos your heart desires!

Blue Iguana Cantina

Blue Iguana Cantina

Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, our blue iguana, at least. That’s why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw our homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say “mmmm” (which is actually Iguanese for “more, please”).

Guys Burger Joint

Guys Burger Joint

We went looking for someone to help us grill up the best burgers at sea, and we found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy’s Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy’s way, or take it off-road to our toppings bar and truly make it your own.

Bonsai Sushi

Bonsai Sushi

So maybe you’ve had sushi on a cruise before, but you’ve never had it like Bonsai Sushi, our onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot. Dine amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable sushi and sashimi… plus rolls, soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time you’re taking an onboard stroll, stop at Bonsai Sushi for a little something satisfying.

Shore Excursions

The best way to fill your day on shore is to explore our vacation destination's hot spots.

Club O2

Your parents deserve a nice vacation… but then again, so do you. So let’s let them go do their thing while you do yours. Where to? Club O2. Hang out and do stuff like watch movies, listen to music from this decade, play sports and video games, join karaoke jam sessions… maybe even have a pool party or two, all with other high schoolers ages of 15 to 17.

The Warehouse Video Arcade

The Warehouse Video Arcade

If you love to play video games, you’re in luck. Our video arcade boasts a huge array of games, and is open to players of all ages, all night and all day. So get some tokens from the vending machine and let the fun times begin. Challenge your friends to a game, or just see if you can beat the top score. After all, with the video arcade open 24 hours and an entire cruise ahead of you, you have plenty of time to try.

Spa

Decks: 15 Sky 11 Panorama 10 Lido 5 Promenade

Cloud 9 Spa staff are masters (or, maybe more like artists) trained in the craft of simply helping you chill. What’s their secret? Massages, facials, body wraps, thermal suites and more — plus, on certain ships, the amazing Thalassotherapy Pool — these are the tools of the trade. And the trade is ultimate relaxation.

Salon

A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, to focus on yourself. It’s about more than just getting your hair or nails done… but it’s definitely about getting your hair or nails done! Even though you’re on vacation, you won’t have to settle for anything less than the salon style you’re used to back on land. And these good looks go beyond the usual — we even offer services like teeth whitening… great for taking those ‘I’m on vacation and I’m looking great!’ smiles to the next level.

Jogging Track

Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don’t have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise. After all, if you’re going to jog, you’d be hard-pressed to find a place to do it with a more scenic view, or a more refreshing breeze — both of these are available in abundance when you go for an open-air jog on the upper-deck. Jogging tracks are available on all Carnival ships, and are even padded for long-distance comfort.

Blue Iguana Tequila bar

BlueIguana Tequila Bar is the onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews. There’s a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course. So stay cool and take in the bar’s vacation vibe while you kick back on your cruise – that’s what official bar mascot Blue the Iguana would tell you.

Redfrog Rum Bar

Redfrog Rum Bar

Guests have told us we hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. We've taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher, plus plenty of Carnival’s signature private-label draft beer, ThirstyFrog Red.

Carnival Cloud 9 Spa Thalassotherapy Room aboard Carnival Dream

  • Cloud 9 Carnival named their spa appropriately because you will be on Cloud 9 while you’re enjoy a firm yet soothing hot stone massage or simply laying in the Thalassotherapy pool. The Cloud 9 spa also offers salon services if you want to get all dolled up for dinner, or maybe you’ll just feel like getting a pedicure. Either way, Cloud 9 is the perfect retreat after a thrilling day in port.  

Carnival Blue Iguana Tequila Bar on Carnival Dream

  • BlueIguana Tequila Bar You’ll say “Olé” to the refreshing flavors of Mexico at the Carnival Dream’s BlueIguana Tequila Bar. The bar features not only several varieties of tequila, but Mexican beer and slushy frozen margaritas too. Whether you take your drink back to the pool deck or drink in this festive bar, you’ll be one happy passenger.  

Carnival Dream Cherry on Top Candy Store

  • Cherry On Top If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ll find your dream come true at Cherry On Top. This is a whimsical candy store filled with rainbow colored lollipops, chocolate covered treats and an assortment of gummy creatures. Treat yourself to a little stateroom snack or purchase a decadent gift for your favorite person back home.

The friendly Atmosphere was the best part!

Feb 28th, 2024

The People were the best part. It really did feel like a Carnival Family! We had many pleasant conversations wherever we went. People held elevator doors & greeted each other with a smile & pleasantries. The Cruise Director Andy & his team were a lot of fun!

Ship needs improvements

Feb 27th, 2024

We truly loved Guy's Burgers, the casinos, Caliente, and the Comedy shows. We really wished we could have enjoyed the hot tubs more and to have designated hot tubes for adults only. It baffles me that so many parents leave their children unattended on the ship. We had about 10 young children enter our hot tube that was already full with 6-8 adults that they did not know. To me that is so dangerous, but that is my personal opinion. Hot tubes need to be available past 8:00 pm! Definitely get the drink package, it is so worth it! 4 fruity drinks a day, pretty much will equal your daily drink package cost.

Got a great deal emailed to me and we took advantage of a last minute cruise.

great cruise

Feb 23rd, 2024

it was a great cruise the fun squad was great they had a lot of energy and a good party atmosphere quest was amazing and i had a great time this was my brothers second cruise and he has such a good time that he is already booking his next cruise with us all around this was a great cruise but i do prefer the 7 day cruises just because of the age difference in age the 8+ day cruise category seems to have a much older crowd

Family (young children)

Enjoyable cruise

We enjoyed this cruise albeit we encountered some very rough seas, especially on return home. crew and passengers sent to their cabins due to 70 mph winds and thunderstorms!

Amazing Eastern Caribbean Cruise

Marcela my travel agent did a fantastic job advising my vacation planning and services! She always kept me up to date on when deadlines were due which was a very big help. She connected with the most respect and got me very excited for the trip coming up. Working with her made the process so easy and stress free. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Wonderful Caribbean Holiday cruise

Feb 21st, 2024

This was a special cruise with a lot of extra events. It happened during the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras and Valentines day. So much fun and a bit different from the non-holiday cruises. We had a blast. 100% recommend.

Key West and Bahamas cruise

Great visit to new ports. Freeport is still devastated from hurricane. Nassau is a lot of hustle and bustle, but we had a great day. Half Moon Cay is nice. We snorkeled. Key West was fantastic!

Great Astros Fan Cruise #2

Feb 18th, 2024

This was an Astros Fan Cruise. Was on the first ever Astros Fan Cruise last year. Will be on the Astros Fan Cruise next year. Lots of fun!!

You Can Cruise From New Orleans To Spain Next Spring

Carnival's 16-day journey will stop at the Bahamas, the Azores, and parts of Portugal and Spain.

carnival cruise lines carnival dream

Bloomberg  / Contributor/Getty Images

Want to get a head start on planning your dream vacation for 2025? We've just heard Carnival Cruise Line has started selling tickets for a 16-day Transatlantic journey from the Port of New Orleans to Barcelona, Spain next spring.

The epic-sounding itinerary starts in the Crescent City, departing on April 24, 2025. (If you want to spend a few days in NOLA beforehand, check out our list of the 45 Best Things To Do In New Orlean .)

While you're at sea, you can take advantage of the ship's entertainment, from stage performances and deck parties to clubs, pools, and hot tubs. Grown-ups can visit the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, while kids can spend some time at Camp Ocean.

After a couple of days on the water, passengers will arrive in Nassau in the Bahamas for a few umbrella drinks and some beach time. Then the ship will steam across the Atlantic to São Miguel Island in the Azores, where an extinct volcano, breaching whales, and hot springs await.

Next stop: Madeira in Portugal, the "Garden Island" where the famous fortified wine is made. The journey ends with three days in Spain, making stops in the ancient city of Málaga, the beach resort Alicante, and finally, highly cultured Barcelona.

Rates for the cruise start at $860 per person and go up from there—of course you'll pay more for an ocean view or balcony. Or, go all out and book the Captain's Suite, which Carnival says is "the best room you can get… without bunking up with the guy himself." It's a dream vacation, right?

Miami Herald

Miami cruise hits rough seas and pier. How the incident affected passengers and trip

A Carnival Corporation ship chartered as a rock music cruise encountered rough sailing in Jamaica, upending the itinerary and causing anxiety among some passengers.

The Carnival Magic hit difficulties on Tuesday morning, forcing the Miami-based cruise ship to briefly leave a Jamaica port while many passengers were still onshore. But the ship then went to a nearby pier and picked up the people, the company told the Miami Herald on Tuesday night.

The incident happened while the ship was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The ship sailed to the Caribbean out of PortMiami.

“Strong winds and swells caused the pier fender to collapse under pressure, and the ship made contact with the pier,” the company said in a statement.

The Carnival Magic then left the area “for the safety of everyone on board,” the company said, “and later docked at another nearby pier so that guests who went ashore Tuesday morning could rejoin the ship.”

On Wednesday, Carnival told the Miami Herald that the ship “will depart Wednesday evening to continue its sailing.”

The company Ask4Entertainment had chartered the Carnival Magic for its annual rock band trip called ShipRocked 2024, what it bills as “Six Terrifying Nights of Music and Madness.” The ship left PortMiami on Feb. 4 with stops planned for Bimini, Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman.

Bands scheduled to play on the ship’s five stages included Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Highly Suspect, and Badflower.

On Tuesday, I Prevail was supposed to play at 4:30 p.m., but a couple of members were onshore, according to Barbara Ligman, on board with her husband, James Ligman. The couple, both 60, live in Fort Myers.

“We’re fine now that we’re back on the boat,” she said Wednesday in an interview with the Herald. “Yesterday was just horrendous because Carnival was not communicating what was going on.”

The past 24 to 36 hours were uneasy for James Ligman, an attorney born and raised in Miami, and Barbara Ligman, a pilot for American Airlines.

Weather had prevented the scheduled stop in Bimini. Then on Tuesday morning, the ship docked at Ocho Rios. “It was very windy,” she said.

“You can see right away the huge waves crashing over the pier and washing out the port,” she recounted. “Rocks and mud were entering the building.”

About 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, she and her husband got off the ship and started their hiking excursion. They had to be back on the boat by 3:30 p.m. It was supposed to set sail at 4 p.m. to Grand Cayman.

But when they were dropped off near the port just past noon, they saw the boat there, but no longer docked.

Until that moment, they had not received any updates on their mobile app about what was happening.

“People were just standing around,” she said. “Nobody telling you what’s going on.”

They went to a nearby bar to have some drinks. Later they and others were told to clear the pier and were taken by shuttle to a house.

She estimated about 1,000 people were in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house waiting.

“We had no idea where the boat was,” she said. It was raining and getting dark. Yet, “We’re getting no information from Carnival.”

Finally, “we got an update at 6:30 p.m. that the boat is docked and ready to board” at another pier. They were picked up at about 7:30 p.m. from the house.

Damage to the ship and pier wasn’t immediately clear.

Carnival said passengers were never stranded. “Our guests were not and would never be left behind.” People ashore “were taken care of by the Carnival team and shore excursion partners.”

The company said no one was hurt and that ship services continued to operate.

The Carnival Magic stayed in Ocho Rios on Tuesday night, canceling a Wednesday visit to Grand Cayman.

The 1,004-foot vessel is a Dream class, large-scale, bow-to-stern cruise ship with a capacity of 3,690 guests.

Carnival Cruise Line is part of the parent company Carnival Corp., headquartered in Miami-Dade County.
