In every port we were docked next to the Dream and pretty much everyone from our ship and the Disney ship that was our other sister ship said she didn't look so good. Most ships on port days do a shit ton of maintenance including rust removal, etc and you just did not see that on the Carnival ship and a lot of people who were on board complained about it (plumbing especially). They skipped Nassau because the Dream was having issues even getting into port despite very calm water. Lots of pissed off people because there's some pretty expensive excursions on the island (Atlantis and all) and they wouldn't even anchor in the harbor and let people tender to shore. I talked to a few crew members who had been crew on other cruise lines who all said that NCL and a few other cruise lines (like Celebrity) are very careful to dry dock their ships for at least a total of 1 month out of the year combined (usually it's one to two weeks at a time) to do heavy maintenance on them. Carnival apparently does not do that and hasn't had any issues only using dry dock for "emergency" situations, but now it's coming back to bite them in the ass hard core.

I wish you luck PB but I'd definitely advise you guys to opt for the travel insurance. Even on these busted cruises their "consolations" are super shitty and I know if I took time off for a 7 day cruise that broke down half way through, a free 3 day cruise would not be enough to make up for it.

Welcome back!

Wife called today.. ended up getting 2 cabin upgrades and saved $1200 on 3 rooms. I'm going to be drunk all cruise, so what do I care!

This is pretty much how I spent my last cruise with the in-laws. And they make the drinks strooooong, which is good because each drink costs a child's body part.

I hope you can drink enough to make yourself oblivious to any human fecal matter that you may have to wade through. Just in case!

Sounds like a damn good result at the least. I hope it goes well.

This shitty ass job on her eyes. I used to be better at detailing :(

Edit: I finished the other eye, which looks even worse. And now the damn parts won't fit together. Guess that's a double rant.
