Easy for me - I am the editor and one of the founders of Cruisemates, Paul Motter is my real name.
I just got back from Carnival Dream yesterday and I have to say it is one of my favorite Carnival ships yet. This is an active ship for young people - no string quartets or fencing lessons. The bands ROCKED

and the casino is huge. The nighttime laser light show to Pink Floyd and other bands is "awesome" as the kiddies say ('ahem)
