Carnival Dream for Kids

It's no surprise that my family loves to cruise. It's the one vacation where we don't have to convince my daughter. She knows that once we step on board a cruise ship it's going to be fun. And vacations are all about fun, right?

This summer my family sailed on the Carnival Dream from Port Canaveral, Florida. A few weeks ago I shared 7 of my favorite things on the Carnival Dream. My seven-year-old, not wanting to be outdone, asked to share some of her favorite things on the Carnival Dream, too-- from a kid's perspective.

Here's her list of 10 awesome things for a kid on the Carnival Dream, with a few notes by me:

Notice her keywords were awesome, cool and fun!

1. Camp Ocean - It's the greatest thing ever! I loved dancing and making t-shirts. We did activities like play on computers and watch movies. The counselors were really nice.

2. Water Park (WaterWorks & MiniWorks)-  I had so much fun at the water park. I played on the small slides and in the water fountains. There was one big slide that I was allowed to go on that was really fun.

3. Golf Course - The miniature golf course was awesome because it was a pirate golf course. I even got a hole-in-one!

4. Dinner - Every night at dinner I ordered shrimp cocktail because it is so delicious. I love the sauce! Watching the waiters sing and dance was really fun. Mom's Note: Our server, Georgie, was exceptional. He indulged my daughter's every whim, from shrimp cocktail every night (without asking) to extra desserts...we looked forward to his wonderful service.

5. Airbrush Tattoo - I wanted a tattoo because I never got one before. I chose a seahorse because it was sparkly and colorful. Mom's Note: The airbrushed tattoo lasted the whole cruise, and she received many compliments on it.

6. Bunk Beds - I loved sleeping in the top bunk bed. It was nice and soft and I don't get to sleep in bunk beds at home. Mom's Note: We cruised with my mother, so we needed a cabin that could accommodate the four of us. I was really surprise how comfortable those pull-down bunks were, not to mention the actual Carnival bed (dreamy!).

7. Carnival Teddy Bear Workshop - I chose a cute kitty to stuff because she had lots of outfits to choose from. I named her Cookie because she looks like a big fat cookie. Mom's Note: This activity was so much fun; the whole family got involved. The bears (and other animals) start at $10 each, which includes the stuffing, birth certificate and box. Outfits were a steal starting out at $2 each.

8. Mardi Gras Party - The party was so much fun. They gave out beads and balloons and I danced with my dad.

9. Towel Animals - The towel animals in the room were so cool. My favorite was the monkey hanging from the ceiling. We also got an elephant, a swan and a honeymoon (heart).

Speaking of towel animals...

10. Carnival Dream Towel Elephant - My mom and I met the big Carnival towel elephant. He was very cute and I think he should be named Ellie.

Honorable mention:

Room Service Grilled Cheese - The grilled cheese from room service was so good, I ordered one almost everyday.

Special thanks to Carnival Cruise Lines for hosting my family. All opinions are our own.

    I am so glad you shared this post! I've cruised 4 times so far, but none since having children. I think it would be a wonderful experience for the kids in a few years when they are a bit older, but my husband isn't sold on the idea. I'll have to share this with him. Tell your daughter thanks for sharing her view. We love Carnival Cruise Lines & it's awesome to know that even kids can have a great time!

    This looks amazing! I'd love to take my kids on a Carnival Dream Cruise one day. Love all the photos, it really gave me a feel for what the ship and trip were like.
