We went to the Carnival Dream last dec 23rd from New Orleans to r West Caribbean is pretty ok,But still I would not suggest to pick this for the following reasons.
1) Stateroom bed has urine smells on the first day with stinky due to Ocean View room. Later they fixed after complaining by changing bedsheets etc, So I suggest go for balcony when you pick any other ship.
2) I am in FWD, the cruise is pretty shaky compared to my last DISNEY DREAM, Kids got irritated with this.
FIRST day bed is urine smell, could not able to sleep and woke up in the mid of night or turned face up and slept, later I complained and they came and fixed by changing the bed sheets.
