Default Dream ~ 2 Day Cruise to nowhere?

What happens on a 2-Day cruise to Nowhere?

Do they still have a show?
Is everything open as usual?
Is dinner more casual?

What else is different?

We're looking at a quick weekend on the Dream Nov 13-15th out of NY?

I have done two CTNs (though not on Carnival) and yes, everything is the same as a longer cruise--it's just shorter! Should be great--we'll be the FIFTH people to be in that cabin! Can't get better than a brand new ship (other than being passengers on 1-4th cruise!)!

Depends on the departure port. We were on one earlier this year from CA and the casino's were not open. Supposedly a CA law about a ship without another destination.

Hopefully they're open from New York, if not...it's no big deal really.

The casinos were open on the ones out of NYC. Duty free shopping too.

See you onboard CarnivalCruzer! It'll be fun! ANY cruise is fun!
RE: your question about casual--I'm not bringing formal clothes. Nice, but not formal.

Default Dinner Options

What are the dinner options on a two night trip?
Formal, casual?
Set table arrangements or anytime seating?
