New features of the Carnival Dream include Ocean Plaza, an indoor/outdoor café and live music venue; enhanced children's facilities, including expansive play areas and a huge Carnival WaterWorks aqua park; "scenic whirlpools" that extend over the ship's beam; and a variety of new stateroom categories, including those specifically catering to families.
Ocean Plaza is designed to be a comfortable oasis during the day and a bustling entertainment complex at night. This indoor/outdoor café and live music venue features a bandstand where a variety of musical genres will be showcased, along with a large circular dance floor. A floor-to-ceiling curved glass wall separates the room, creating indoor and outdoor lanai seating areas offering stunning ocean views. Guests at Ocean Plaza can also enjoy full bar service, along with an espresso bar offering gelato and a variety of baked goods, along with high-speed Internet access.
Carnival Dream also takes the traditional cruise-ship promenade to new heights with The Lanai, a half-mile, open-air promenade encircling the ship on Promenade Deck 5. Here, guests can take a stroll while enjoying spectacular ocean vistas, read a book, or just take in the sun from one of the many deck chairs that will line this open deck area.
Along The Lanai, four "scenic whirlpools" cantilever out over the sea providing magnificent sea views. Higher up, Lido Deck 10 offers the most elaborate and expansive open-deck area of any Carnival ship with a tropical, resort-style Waves Pool complete with a Seaside Theatre LED screen, a Serenity adults-only retreat, and numerous other features.
A wide variety of lounges, bars and nightspots – including a new dance club concept offering indoor/outdoor access – is accessible via an 11-deck-high atrium whose ground level will offer a cantilevered bandstand atop a massive dance floor. Other features include an expansive 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa – Carnival's largest and most elaborate health and wellness center to date.
Carnival Dream Staterooms
The Carnival Dream includes several new types of staterooms. Some of the most interesting are the line's first-ever "cove" balcony staterooms, which are located closer to the water line on deck 2 and offer beautiful sea views and exceptional value. The balconies on the cove cabins have a smaller opening and can be closed if the weather is very rough.
Carnival Dream has new deluxe ocean view staterooms geared towards families. These feature two bathrooms! In addition to twin beds that convert to a king, ample closet space and elegant décor, the two-bathroom configuration will include one full bathroom and a second bathroom featuring a junior tub with shower and sink. These staterooms can accommodate five persons - ideal for families.
Additionally, there are a wide selection of balcony staterooms and suites from which to choose. Finally, adjacent to Carnival Dream's Cloud 9 Spa will be 65 spa staterooms and suites which will offer guests a number of exclusive amenities and privileges.
All Carnival Dream staterooms feature the Carnival Comfort Bed sleep system with plush mattresses, luxurious duvets and high quality linens and pillows.
Children's Amenities on the Carnival Dream
Carnival Dream's numerous family-friendly amenities include separate, purpose-built facilities for the line's three distinct children's programs: "Camp Carnival" for kids ages 2-11, "Circle C" for 12- to 14-year-olds, and "Club O2" for teens ages 15 to 17, along with a full schedule of morning-til-night activities catering to each age group. Sure to be a hit with guests of all ages are Carnival WaterWorks, an expansive aqua park offering exhilarating water slides and various water spray apparatus. Carnival Dream is also be the first "Fun Ship" to feature a two-level miniature golf course.
Year-Round Cruising From Port Canaveral on the Carnival Dream
Following its New York departures, Carnival Dream repositions to Port Canaveral, Fla., where it launches year-round seven-day Caribbean cruises Dec. 5, 2009. On its new Port Canaveral-based program, Carnival Dream departs every Saturday on alternating weeklong cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Eastern Caribbean cruises will call at Nassau; St. Thomas/St. John, U.S.V.I.; and St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles; while exotic Western Caribbean voyages will visit Cozumel; Belize; Costa Maya; and Nassau. Carnival Dream assumed this route from the Carnival Glory, which was redeployed to Miami to operate year-round seven-day Caribbean cruises.
