Carnival Dream

What Should I Pack?
The first thing to remember is that you're on vacation and you are onboard Carnival Cruises’ ‘Fun Ships’ to have a good time. Secondly, remember to travel light. Keeping these two pieces of advice in mind are very important for packing.

Casual attire and resort wear is typically appropriate attire onboard and in-port. Shorts, slacks, sundresses, blouses, sandals, etc., are appropriate for women, and clothing for men is just as casual. Travelers might also want to consider bringing along a sweater or jacket for cool evenings and inexpensive rain gear in case of a sudden shower. While restaurants typically have casual dress code, there are also instances where you may visit a specialty restaurant or attend a special Captain’s Cocktail Party and Gala Farewell Dinner that requires business casual or formal attire. For days in port where you will be participating in various shore excursions, you should dress accordingly to the dress codes of the sites you are visiting, as well as bring a pair of sneakers for strenuous walking.

Formal Wear: Men: suit and tie, sport coat, tie and slacks; Women: evening dresses, cocktail dresses; pantsuits.

Casual Resort Wear: Men: sport shorts, slacks; Women: dresses, skirts, shorts, Capri pants.

*Please Note: Shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner.

Carnival Dream allows guests to pursue rejuvenation and health while onboard through the ship’s fitness center. Aerobics, Pilates, spinning, and yoga are a sampling of what energetic passengers are able to enjoy in addition to weights, a jogging track, and a wide variety of exercise equipment. Through huge windows, guests of the fitness center have a panoramic view of the ocean as they focus on mind and body during their work-out regimen.

Carnival Dream is a ‘Fun Ship’ in every sense of the phrase. During the day, laughter and music fill the air as guests enjoy live calypso bands and tropical drinks by the pool, entertaining rounds of putt-putt golf with the kids, exhilarating water slides, energizing basketball games, and much more. Inside the ship, lounges, theaters, shops, and more invite guests to spend the day exploring all of the different possibilities. At night, the fun onboard Carnival Dream extends until the early morning, with movies by the pool, fabulous night spots, comedy and theatrical shows, and a casino that is never short on surprises.

Guests will discover dream-like pampering and self-indulgence while taking advantage of Carnival Dream’s amazing spa facilities.
