The Ship: Carnival Dream

It’s one thing to be fun, but it’s another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a wave of amazingly fun Carnival ships; as the genesis of the Dream class, it set the direction for the ships that followed — first Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze.

The ship is 1,004 feet of fun, luxury, and excitement, capable of accomodating up to 3,646 passengers. It has a passenger-to-crew ratio of just under 3:1.
