It's one thing to be fun, but it's another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a recent wave of amazingly innovative and fun Carnival ships. As the genesis of the Dream class, Carnival Dream set the direction for the ships that followed in her footsteps - irst Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze.

But back to Carnival Dream: the ship itself is a unique experience with the way-fun RedFrog Rum Bar® and the very cool BlueIguana Tequila Bar. Get your appetite ready, because you are gonna need it. Carnival Dream features two dual-level dining rooms, a gourmet steakhouse and dedicated sushi spot Bonsai Sushi.
It's also got a full menu of our latest and greatest casual spots for a bite: BlueIguana Cantina, Pizzeria del Capitano, Guy's Burger Joint™ and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse. (That's Guy as in Guy Fieri, by the way - so you know the food's delish.)

Carnival Dream also features the borderline-magical Alchemy Bar and Ocean Plaza, which combines tasty treats with perhaps even tastier entertainment. Entertainment options are all up and down the ship, and so is soaking-wet fun, from the heart-racing waterslide action at Carnival WaterWorks to the soul-soothing Thalassotherapy pool at the Cloud 9 Spa.
Despite its name, Carnival Dream is definitely a reality. Can't believe it? Pinch yourself... and book your dream cruise today.


Dining Venues on Carnival Dream

bonsai sushi restaurant

Bonsai Sushi

So maybe you have had sushi on a cruise before, but you haven't ever had it like Bonsai Sushi, Carnival's onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot. Dine amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable sushi and sashimi plus rolls, soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time you are taking an onboard stroll, stop at Bonsai Sushi for a little something satisfying. Please Note: Additional charge applied to eat here


blueiguana cantina

BlueIguana Cantina

Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, the blue iguana, at least. That's why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say " mmmm" (which is actually Iguanese for "more, please").


steakhouse on carnival legend

The Steakhouse

Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious by booking a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. With menus featuring mouth watering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrees, gourmet appetizers - even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.) The Steakhouse's atmosphere pairs remarkably well with, and perhaps even enhances, the culinary creations of our gourmet chefs.
Tip: Like any destination restaurant, reservations are highly recommended, and can be made online after booking your cruise. Your meal is at an additional charge and includes an appetizer, salad, entree, side, and dessert.


Entertainment Facilities on Carnival Dream

the waterworks on carnival pride

The Waterworks

Wanna splish, splash the whole day away? Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival Vista's onboard waterpark. First up, there is the Twister Waterslide, hundreds of feet of spiralling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you will find anywhere.

Select ships have side-by-side racing slides, which make serious competition seriously fun. Wear your speed suit for Speedway Splash, which features hundreds of feet of racing action, plus special lighting effects you will experience on the road to victory. DrainPipe ends with one major swirl of a finish, while PowerDrencher takes soaking seriously, just picture the biggest bucket of water you have ever seen, raining down on you from above. This isn't just for kids, the young at heart are encouraged to zoom and splash around too!


the red frog pub on carnival pride

The RedFrog Pub

Get into an island state of mind before you even set foot on one. RedFrog Pub is Carnival Breeze's laid-back, no-worries, oh-so-lively Key West-inspired pub. Sample Caribbean fare, dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip Carnival's tasty signature private-label brew, ThirstyFrog Red. So kick back and feel the island vibe come to life. You will be a local here before you know it.


playlist productions on carnival pride

Playlist Productions

Everyone has those perfect songs that never fail to get them moving. Playlist Productions, Carnivals' onboard theatre team brings lists like yours to life! Your favourites become full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house. Shows vary by ship, but there is a playlist for every music lover. Need a few examples? How about the spicy sounds of Amor Cubano, the movie-magic soundtrack of FLICK, or Vintage Pop with its 20s-jazz-meets-modern-hits?

Release your inner rock-n-roll patriot during America Rocks! Enter the centre of groove with the passionate Heart of Soul. Feel the arena-shaking sounds of Epic Rock, the piano-pounding sounds of 88 Keys, the totally bad-meaning-good 80s Pop to the Max, plus the funky, sophisticated and not-at-all exclusive Studio VIP, where everyone is welcome to come and get down!


camp ocean

Camp Ocean

The little ones can enjoy the best parts of summer camp, year-round aboard their Carnival cruise. At Camp Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years). Together with their group they will enjoy tons of fun-filled, age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, songs, games, toys, dancing, movies and video games. When comes to mealtime, kids eat together and get their own menus with back-on-land favs like mac & cheese, chicken nuggets and more. The whole time, Carnival's experienced counsellors will be there to make sure everyone in these small groups has an amazing time. Plus, when the sun goes down it's time for Night Owls (fees apply to use this service), but kids get to stay up late having fun while their parents also enjoy themselves well into the night.

Suess at Sea:From the whimsical and always wonderful world of Dr. Seuss comes Cats in Hats, Fish Red and Blue, and both kinds of Things - 1 and 2. And they are all coming to a Carnival cruise near you as the world of Dr. Seuss leaps off the page and onto Seuss at Sea. Dr. Seuss's timeless stories are the kind kids memorize, and this is the kind of cruise you will remember for a lifetime. The whole family will still enjoy all the classic Carnival activities, but the littlest ones, and their families, will also enjoy an all-new, extra-special experience as the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss comes to life around them.
Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favourite Dr. Seuss friends and more. Seuss at Sea truly brings your child's favourite books to life.
