What exactly do we mean when we say the Carnival Dream will be the perfect ship for a fun-filled vacation for the whole family? Well, with more than 19,000 total square feet of space catering to children, 'tweens and teens, the 130,000-ton Carnival Dream is designed as the ideal family vacation. From indoor spaces and outdoor waterslide races, to kid-friendly staterooms and kid-approved dining, CARNIVAL DREAM is the ultimate family vacation destination.
Let’s start with the expansive indoor and outdoor play areas dedicated space to the supervised programs for three age groups -- Camp Carnival (ages 2-11), Circle "C" (12-14) and Club O2 (15-17) -- each offering a full schedule of morning-til-night activities organized by highly trained staff.

The focal point of Carnival Dream's children's activities will be an expansive play area encompassing 5,000 square feet of space and offering magnificent ocean views. Located on Deck 11, Camp Carnival will be divided into three distinct sections, each catering to a different age group and featuring everything from an arts and crafts center to video game consoles such as PlayStation2 and Wii, a karaoke machine, air hockey and foosball tables. And, like all "Fun Ships," Carnival Dream will offer a wide variety of activities specifically geared toward children, including the WaterColors art program; ExerSeas, emphasizing physical fitness, SeaNotes, with fun music-oriented games and activities; and EduCruise, designed to educate kids on the ship's diverse European and Caribbean itineraries.
If your kids designed their dream room, this would be it. Camp Carnival will also serve as the site for Carnival’s babysitting services, which are available from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. nightly and cost $6 per hour for the first child and $4 per hour for each additional child in the same family. A reception desk will provide parents with a convenient and inviting venue to check their kids in and out of the program.
Their New Circle of FriendsLocated on Deck 4, the 1,075-square-foot Circle "C" center gives 12- to 14-year olds a place to call their own, with a dance floor, DJ, a video jukebox and Internet workstations, providing the perfect place to just kick back and relax.
Something your young teen actually enjoys? You bet. The Coolest Club at SeaNext to Circle "C" is Club O2, a 2,740-square-foot teen club where older kids can make new friends, and dance to the latest hits cranked out by a high-energy DJ. Designed as the ultimate "chill" space, this expansive room also includes a soda bar, music-listening stations and a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system. Both the Circle "C" and Club O2 programs have a dedicated director who oversees a host of fun activities, including late-night movies, video game contests and pool parties.
This cool club is the hot spot for your 15-17 year olds. Right next to the teen club is The Warehouse, an expansive game room featuring the latest video and arcade games. Our teen cruisers can even enjoy Carnival’s popular Y-Spa youth spa program offering a variety of soothing treatments.
The Greatest OutdoorsAs the largest "Fun Ship" ever constructed, we've made the most of the Carnival Dream's massive open decks by creating a variety of fun features, including Carnival WaterWorks -- the largest and most elaborate water park at sea, a 303-foot-long, four-deck-high corkscrew water slide and another awesome 104-foot-long spiral water slide that leads into a giant funnel.WaterWorks also includes twin double-lane 80-foot-long racing slides and various squirting fountains, splash zones, "dump buckets" and more.
This will be the most awesome waterslide at sea. Carnival Dream's other open-deck activities include the line’s first 18-hole miniature golf course, as well as basketball and volleyball courts with stadium-style seating.
Extra Spacious Staterooms Carnival Dream's family friendly features even extend to the ship’s accommodations, which include spacious deluxe ocean view staterooms featuring In addition to twin beds that convert to a king and ample closet space, the extra-roomy cabins will include one full bathroom and a second bathroom with a junior tub, shower and sink.In addition to dozens of inter-connecting staterooms, many of the Carnival Dream's accommodations can hold up to five guests - a rarity in new ship construction and also ideal for families.
This is the new "Deluxe Oceanview" stateroom featuring two bathrooms. Kid-Friendly DiningWith dining such an important part of any cruise, Carnival Dream will also offer the widest variety of kid-friendly culinary choices at sea. In addition to a grille serving hamburgers and hot dogs, The Gathering casual poolside restaurant offers 24-hour pizza and ice cream while extensive children's menus, with a daily junior special promising something new each day, are available in the main dining rooms. And with Carnival’s "dining under the stars" program, kids can also enjoy a meal with the youth staff in the Lido restaurant allowing parents to have a night to themselves.
Carnival Dream will also offer our Fountain Fun Card program which, for a one-time fee, offers unlimited soft drinks throughout your cruise. And greeting guests each night as they return to their staterooms are Carnival’s wildly popular "towel animals" – in the shape of a swan, monkey, pig or dozens of other creatures – custom-designed by our talented stateroom stewards.
