Catchin' up with CARNIVAL DREAM

We're super excited because we just got the latest round of photos detailing the construction of the brand new Carnival Dream. She's really coming together now and looking like what will be the most spectacular ship we've ever built. We couldn't wait to share them with you, so here you go. See for yourself and let us know what you think.

Just in case you weren't sure what you were looking at, you can see our signature funnel and Carnival Dream lettering.

This shot should give you a good idea of just how big this beautiful ship is.

Remember we talked about the DREAM's stern, well this is her bow (front).

We're taking shipboard water slides to a whole new twisting, turning level on this ship.

We'll be publishing more images of CARNIVAL DREAM's construction real soon, so keep coming back for more updates.

We are leaving for our Mediterranean Cruise on October 15 2009 on the Carnival Dream. I can't wait!!!! We planned this trip for years, but everytime we booked it, something would happen healthwise to my husband (a diabetic) to make us have to cancel. Now, it finally appears to be happening fo us, and we couldn't be happier about it.

May 12, 2009 11:16 PM:

We're celebrating our 32nd Wedding Anniversary on Nov. 12 when the Carnival Dream pulls into New York Harbor. We have celebrated our Anniversary on each of the last 2 new Carnival Ships. This time it will be on the Trans-Atlantic. Funny thing is we live just 35 miles north of the NY Harbor right on the Hudson River. This voyage makes it number 19 for us on Carnival. We are wishing our spring and summer away just to live out our Dream!

May 13, 2009 10:52 AM:

WOW!!!!! No other words describe it!! We are booking on the Dream in Feb 2011. Just returned from yet another FANTASTIC cruise with Carnival!!! Can't say enough about you and can't wait to get aboard the Dream!!! Keep up the great work Carnival and Crew!!!!

May 21, 2009 09:40 PM:

I am cruising on October 15th with my husband on the Carnival Dream on the Meditteranean Cruise. I have a few concerns, and I was wondering if some experienced cruisers can answer my questions? My husband is ambulatory, but due to complications of diabetes, and chronic foot problems, his walking needs to be limited. He is able to walk, but not for long distances. He is able to stand, but shouldn't stand for long periods of time without moving. We want to take the Pisa by Trolley excursion, but are concerned about the amount of walking. Are there places to sit on this excursion. Can we modify the excursion to, perhaps, forego entering the baptistery and cathedral to avoid lines and much walking? Will there be places we can just sit and admire the Tower of Pisa while sitting nearby on a bench or anything. I am just trying to avoid any mishaps while overseas. Thank you for all of your feedback.

We did request a wheelchair for embarking and disembarking the ship because I understand that lines can be long, and he wouldn't be able to stand in them.

May 26, 2009 12:02 PM:

Can not wait doing a birth day cruise (50th) Dec 3rd and friends are getting married. Our 10th cruise will be great.
