Carnival Dream, a Dream Class cruise ship, offers 5- through 8-night voyages to the Caribbean departing year-round from New Orleans. Among the exciting features available on board this ship are Carnival WaterWorks (an aqua park with multiple waterslides and a splash park), Carnival Seaside Theatre, Cloud 9 Spa (a 40,000-square-foot spa), a large casino and a fabulous youth program (for children ages 2 through 17).

Guests onboard Carnival Dream can raise a toast at the RedFrog Rum Bar or BlueIguana Tequila Bar, sit back and laugh at the Punchliner Comedy Club, or sate their sweet tooths at Cherry on Top (featuring a well-stocked assortment of candy). Following a refurbishment in 2017, new venues also include BlueIguana Cantina, Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse, Pizzeria del Capitano, Bonsai Sushi and the Alchemy Bar!

Carnival Dream was the first ship in Carnival's fleet to debut Cove Balcony staterooms. These balcony staterooms feature a private enclosed balcony (with a large picture window view), located much lower on the ship than a typical balcony would be found (a benefit of the enclosed balcony).

Another pioneer type of accommodations for Carnival, first available aboard Carnival Dream, were Cloud 9 Spa staterooms. Guests staying in such accommodations benefit from private access to the spa, 2 fitness classes per individual (for up to 2 people per room), as well as priority in booking spa appointments. Cloud 9 Spa staterooms are available as an interior, ocean view, balcony or suite.

Among the many dining options available on board Carnival Dream are the main dining rooms, 24-hour room service, a pizzeria, a grill, a huge buffet, as well as a specialty restaurant (see below for details).

Ship Highlights

Carnival WaterWorks
One of the first things you might notice when seeing Carnival Dream is the massive waterslides located towards the top of the ship. Carnival WaterWorks, an aqua park featured on several Carnival ships, has been taken to a new level aboard Carnival Dream. It features multiple giant waterslides (including the longest waterslide at sea), as well as a splash park for kids.

Carnival's Seaside Theatre
Check out a movie, live sporting event or concert on this giant 12' x 22' LED screen, with a 70,000-watt sound system! It's located outdoors, right by the Waves Lido Pool.

The Chef's Art Steakhouse
This is the specialty restaurant on board Carnival Dream, taking the dining experience available on the ship to a new level. There is a per person cover charge to dine at this venue, but it's worth trying at least once (although you might come back a few times after experiencing what it's all about).

Caliente Dance Club
One of Carnival Dream's evening hot spots is definitely their dance club, Caliente. Playing a wide range of music late into the night, and featuring a large dance floor and bar, this is a place you wouldn't want to miss out on if you're looking to have a good time while on your Carnival Dream cruise.

Cloud 9 Spa
This 40,000-square-foot, two-deck spa is Carnival Dream's ultimate escape (and is the largest spa ever featured on board a Carnival cruise ship). Among the many treatments and amenities available at Cloud 9 Spa are a Thalassotherapy Pool, Thermal Suite, Aroma Stone Therapy, Balinese Massage, Exotic Frangipani Body Nourish Wrap and much more! Also located in this area of the ship is a state-of-the-art fitness center, offering various exercise equipment and classes (such as yoga and pilates).

Serenity
An adults-only retreat, where you can be pampered the way you deserve to be! It's a great place to relax while your kids are having fun in the ship's fabulous youth program.

Jackpot Casino
Feeling lucky? Try your luck at Carnival Dream's Vegas-style casino. Among the many games are blackjack, roulette, poker and slot machines.

The Lanai
Take a relaxing walk along this half-mile promenade, enjoying amazing views along the way. Perhaps you'd like to take a dip in one of Carnival Dream's jacuzzis that are located on the outer edge of the deck, giving a fantastic view to its occupants!
