About the Dream Class
The Dream class ships were Carnival’s largest when they launched and introduced WaterWorks, a dedicated aqua park with waterslides including the signature Twister slide, to the Carnival fleet. These ships carry around 3,600 guests and offer a comprehensive Carnival experience with multiple pool areas, a full complement of dining venues, evening entertainment, and the Carnival Kids program.
