Carnival Dream is the lead ship of the Dream-class of cruise ships. Like all but one of her sisters, she is operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Fincantieri at its Monfalcone shipyard in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy, she was floated out on October 24, 2008, and christened by Marcia Gay Harden.
At 128,000 GT, Carnival Dream was the largest ship yet built for Carnival Cruise Line. She has two sister ships, Carnival Magic, who entered service in May 2011, and Carnival Breeze, who entered service in June 2012.
Carnival Dream and her sisters Carnival Magic and Carnival Breeze were expected to have the widest variety of activity, dining, and entertainment options of the entire fleet, and were the largest ships ever built in Italy, by Fincantieri at the time.
Carnival Dream features an array of cabins, from interior staterooms to suites, and introduced newer forms of cabins for Carnival Cruise Line. One new type of cabin is a deluxe ocean view stateroom. The deluxe ocean view stateroom has two separate washroom facilities. Another new cabin for the cruise line is cove balcony stateroom. The cove balcony stateroom has a partially enclosed veranda. The ship features special spa staterooms that are currently available on Carnival Splendor and Carnival Breeze. Carnival Dream also offers couples massages.
Carnival Dream is the first Carnival Cruise Line ship to feature a water park with multiple slides as a newbuild. The ship uses a larger variation of the water park that was recently added to the Fantasy-class ships. The ship features an 18-hole miniature golf course. The ship also features a wide outdoor promenade deck that includes an outdoor cafe and a whirlpool jacuzzi in four places along the outside edge of the deck.
