Even Worth It To Book The Dream Now?
Hello everyone! My question is this: has the Dream been in service long enough now that it is pretty much trashed and worn out? Will it even be worth it to book if it is that bad? When will Carnival start offering deep cut-rate fares to fill the ship?
 I just want to be sure to book a cruise that I will enjoy! Thanks everyone for your help with this!

YES!!!! The dream will be absolutely beautiful for a very long long time!! Carnival, in my opinion, takes very good care of their ships!
As far as deep discounts, one never knows when the rates will go up or down. I was surprised that the Oasis prices are still out of my reach a year and a half after she first sails!  I think the prices on the dream are reasonable for a new ship.If you want to enjoy a cruise on the dream, consider joining our cruise critic group cruise on Feb. 20, 2010! We have lots of discounted private tours and hotel, etc. We also have lots of fun events planned for onboard the ship. Also, John Heald will be the CD this sailing and so we have him to look forward too as well!!

Oddly phrased question But, we have looked into bookings for late 2010 and they seem to be in line with those on the Miracle and Legend for equal cabins.

She's brand new and sailing across the Atlantic.We sailed on the Fantasy in June and she was built in 1990 and she was certainly not trashed or worn out.

The Carnival Dream will be considered a "New" ship until the Carnival Magic makes her debut in June 2011, then the "New" will be dropped from the Carnival Dream like it was from the Carnival Splendor. Personally I do not feel that any ship that is 6 months or older a new ship because by then thousands of people have cruised on it.

Well, I don't know. Everyone is always asking about the worst ship, worst cabin, worst whatever. All I could figure was things go bad pretty quickly, practically overnight. I wasn't trying to be a smarty-pants...

Did no one pick up on the "tongue in cheek" element in the OP's post?
