OVERVIEW
Carnival Dream represents a large step forward over
earlier Carnival ships. Since the debut of Carnival
Destiny, Carnival has been developing the Destiny design
over eight subsequent ships. However, it has done this in
relatively small increments, adding new features and
increasing the size about 12,000 gross tons in 12 years.
The Dream is some 17,000 gross tons larger than her
immediate predecessor Carnival Splendor and 50 feet
longer. The result is a very substantial ship with a great
deal of gravitas.
This greater size has allowed Carnival to fulfill its
desire to be very much a family-oriented cruise option.
Carnival carries approximately half of the children that
set to sea each year but it is still thought of by many as the
young people's party boats that it was in its early days.
With the space and facilities dedicated to children on the
Dream, there can be no doubt that the emphasis here is on
family-fun.
This is not to say that the Dream is not an option for
adults. Its comedy club has family and adult
performances. It has a large outdoor adults-only area
called Serenity. It also has a large and luxurious spa.
In fact, that is another theme that Carnival has been
developing over the years - - better and better quality.
This is especially apparent in the food offerings in the
main dining rooms and the specialty restaurant.
Dream also features quite a few new ideas. Chief
among these is the innovative outdoor promenade the
Lanai.
Overall, the interior design of the ship is more
restrained than in earlier ships by ship designer Joe
Farcus. While this produces less opportunity to explore
the ship to see how the underlying design theme has been
developed in the various public areas, the overall result
is still attractive. Farcas' use of brighter lighting
especially serves to enhance the overall decor.
Carnival Dream is homeported in Port Canaveral,
Florida and does cruises to the Caribbean and to the
Bahamas.

Dream has an expansive Bridge with
state-of-the-art technology. The officers drive the
ship from a central console situated in front of
two pilot-like chairs. There are also control
consoles on either side of the bridge that are
used in docking and undocking. Because the
Lanai blocks a direct view of the waterline along
the side of the ship, television screens show the
officers how close the ship is to the dock.

Complementing interior architect Joe Farcus' designs are various works of art.
For the most part, those works in the public areas are found in the stairways
and in the hallways outside the cabins. However, there is also the occasional
surprise such as reproductions of Frederic Remington's Old West bronze
sculptures.
