The Carnival Dream, and her sister ships the Carnival Magic and Carnival Breeze are the largest (and newest) ships in the Carnival fleet. 
I had the opportunity to attend the Carnival Dream naming ceremony and to take a two-day "cruise to nowhere" on the ship when it was first launched.
My first impressions of the Carnival Dream are excellent. The ship is beautiful, and its exciting new features, cabin categories, and dining options are sure to be a hit with those who love large ships and a fun-packed holiday.

During my recent cruise, 1/29 – 2/4/11, on the Carnival riends and I had contracted the Norovirus. This was the diagnosis we were given by the medical center upon the ship. . I am very concerned and disappointed in how this extremely contagious virus was handled upon the voyage. To my knowledge there were approximately 127 people quarantined with the virus. This does not include:
Passengers that did not meet the criteria for quarantine
The captain and members of the crew insisted that there i a protocol in place that they follow when an outbreak such as this occurs. I can assure you that this was not followed properly.
We believe we should be reimbursed from Carnival for this cruise, follow up visits to medical professionals, and other expenses accrued due to the ship’s improper infection control.
As of today, Tues. 2/8, I was finally contacted by Alicia I was told by Alicia Norman, NO, we do not compensate. I do know for a FACT that many people in the past have been compensated who contracted norovirus on past sailings. She insisted no. I have requested that her supervisor contact me, and requested her name. The only name she gave me was Martha. At this time, I still have not heard back from her.
Both my infectious disease physician & I believe that I nor my cabin mate would have had contracted this gut wrenching virus if the proper infection control practices were followed. Would you please advise me how to proceed with this?
