Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we are going on the Carnival Dream for 8 days. So, this is going to be our longest cruise ever and first time on the Dream.

Security was a breeze. They had the drug dog out. Um, but everything everything was good. Everything worked out.

So, the two things on the buffet that you can never go wrong on day one is the meatball lasagna and mashed potatoes.

It's going to be a great cruise no matter what. We'll see if things can be different. But we are sailing away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Drop off luggage ahead of time to save time during boarding.
Use Discount Cruise Parking in Galveston for convenient parking.
Try the meatball lasagna and mashed potatoes from the buffet on day one.
