$755 million dollars can buy some pretty nice things!
Greetings Ben.
Unfortunately, sometimes when it's all put together, it comes across looking cheap. Perhaps cheap to the eye, but not to the wallet.
I still wish more was done with the Ocean Plaza. That area had such potential but it really comes across as looking rather cheap and tacky. Just not very inviting to sit and have a coffee. I'm still hoping in person it will look and feel totally different compared to how it looks in the pictures.

Great pics Carlos. DREAM is an attractive ship, no doubt about it. I still like the looks of the Spirit Class best, but DREAM would come in second as far as Carnival is concerned.
Does the Dream only have two pools for a 130,000 ton ship? The aft pool is small too. That's got to be a hot mess on sunny days at sea.
Many posters knock the Norwegian Epic for its pool areas but at least it has 4 (5 if you count the indoor therapy pool in the spa).
Remind me again why they need 5 - 6 foot glass railings along the Promenade... I understand along the cantilevered whirlpools, but along the entire deck????

Yes, only two relatively small pools. This was a concern I shared when I first saw the deck plans. I've always felt the Destiny/Conquest Class are short on pools, but DREAM takes it to a new level.

Carnival passengers have a tendency to, well .... "fall" overboard.
It's a shame they didn't do more with the promenade. At least they added a forward set of doors, something that is lacking on the previous Destiny/Conquest Class ships. Unfortunately they didn't add anything else, and it looks strange that the entire forward section of the promenade has nothing but a white steel wall behind it.
