Carnival Dream EMBARKATION Galveston 8 Day Eastern | Cabin 9207 | FOOD | Day 1

[@travelwithhaydenyt]

Dream looks like a really good ship! Can't wait to try some bigger Carnival ships. The biggest Carnival cruise we've done is the Liberty (highly recommend that beautiful ship!)

[@melindavelka9600]

MarQ Anthony is the best! One of my favorite cruise directors!

[@3dogmom]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@sarakeith5480]

Truly amazing that you up on the late side!! I am early to sleep and early to rise! Probably on a cruise I would change my normal pattern! I love everything about the ocean!! A fun cruise so far! Thanks!!

[@ScottsonDeck]

Dream was our very first ship we ever went on, and we had a blast. We also can’t wait for the Vista cruise with you!

[@GerardoEspinosa-t8g]

Awesome video going on the Dream in January first cruise ever staying in cabin 11205 cant wait🎉

[@davewhiting5169]

Dream is a great ship, we really enjoyed our cruise on her in 2017. Pasta Bella is always good for lunch and away from the crowds. We can't wait for the Vista cruise with you guys and some other great people 😃

[@alinelson2]

Hi Favor and Robert! I always enjoy embarkation day! You two always make it so fun by going all over the ship and showing it! They do need to fix the special menu program so people can get their food right from the start! Nice first day! Hugs!

[@CruisingforFood]

This ship has a special place in my heart as it was our first Carnival cruise ship! She's still a beauty! I've never had Pasta Bella. I need to remember that it's there. We always make a bee line for Guys and Blue Iguana. We try to stay away from the buffet the first day.😆I have never used Menu Mate. I think I've only seen someone there once on all of my cruises. They need to do better with that. That was a great shot of the Vista as you were leaving. How do you even sleep on a cruise?😆

[@LifeWithFavor]

I hear that so often, Dream was someones first Carnival Cruise. It took so long for us to finally sail on her. She was cancelled 3 or 4 times for us and that was not always from the Pandemic! Yes, Menu Mate needs some improvement. I could not believe we passed Vista, usually she sails out first! Hugs my friend!

[@stevepse]

I hate to say it, but I found I go to bed earlier when I'm on the ship. I think it is about getting a lot of extra rest

[@juliep.3660]

Hi Favor and Rob Ship looks amazing and I am sure you had a great time. So looking forward to watching this cruise series Thank you for sharing. Take care 🐱🐹

[@sharoncruisingscene]

Thanks for sharing Favor. We board this ship for the same cruise in January!

[@skylane1829]

We just got off the Celebration and it was amazing…..let’s try the Dream now.

[@TiggyTabbycat]

Greetings from Dickinson! Cruising in August, my 3rd. Husbands first so I’m trying to find him good examples:)

[@Mrcjxd1]

YAY new cruise series cant wait for more

[@3dogmom]

I board the Dream tomorrow. This made me so excited to be back onboard!! Kinda envious that you got another trip with MarQ before he left Texas :(

[@LifeWithFavor]

I LOVE MarQ... He is one of the very best CD"s we have had. Happy cruising! You are on board now! Hugs!

[@3dogmom]

@LifeWithFavor we are indeed- at the Costa Maya port at the moment :) Roatan tomorrow. Frankie P is our CD this time and we are enjoying him but MarQ is next level.

[@lauriegrube007]

Great vlog!

[@johnrecchia8731]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing !

[@jrags35]

Thank for this we are taking this cruise in August

[@LifeWithFavor]

Have so much fun!! Thank you for watching! Hugs!

[@markfriedman5358]

It's great you show the munus,but I couldn't see up close what was offered It was too far away,make it closser,Thanks

[@marnance1]

Fyi. The drink package on Carnival is the only cruise line that does not offer the package on day one out of Texas. It is not a Texas rule it is a Carnival rule. Drink pkg starts day 1 on Royal

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi, you are incorrect. Please look up the Texas TABC laws. No matter which line in Galveston they must adhere to state law. New York has similar laws. Take care .

[@kizzyarseneau5740]

Looks like you had fun

[@LifeWithFavor]

Such a great week! Thank you for watching! Hugs!

[@maribel8melendez]

Going on the dream this summer. Since 2018😮. I miss it. So now we just go straight to muster no need to make an appt or do it all together with the rest of the passengers?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Correct, just go to your muster station and they will check you in. There is a video in the app and a crew member will also give a short demo on the life vest. Takes only a couple minutes, no groups and no specific time just get it done as soon as you can. Have a great cruise!

[@dominiquefrazier00]

Hope you had a great time

[@LifeWithFavor]

We did! Thank you for watching! Hugs!

[@skylergreen3433]

So excited for these videos!!! My husband and I are taking this cruise in February! Thank you!

[@LifeWithFavor]

You're going to have a blast! Such a great itinerary! Hugs!

[@attilathefun_traveler]

Oh goodness! Oh wait this February? We are going next February 2024, hope we’ll see you then too! 😊

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Thank you for another great video, since the return after de Pandemic we have done 6 cruises. We just got back and are leaving again on the 28th, on Royal, Freedom of the Seas, we have never done that ship, so wanted to try it. looking forward to another getaway, and then the New Year’s cruise on Oasis of the Seas!

[@LifeWithFavor]

I cannot even imagine how amazing your cruise on Oasis will be! One day we will do a New Years cruise! Have so much fun on Freedom! We are leaning more and more towards Royal, not sure why exactly but it's happening! Hugs!

[@jeffbuescher1027]

You always do such a great job with your cruise videos. We went on our first cruise in June and the information you provided regarding the MSC Divina helped us so much.

[@LifeWithFavor]

Thank you so very much, I really am so glad I could help in any way! Glad you had a great cruise! Hugs!

[@truetexangirlj6280]

I really enjoy the very detailed information you provide in the videos. I’ll be going on the Vista March’23 (spring break) I’ve never done excursions through carnival but would like to get some set before we go. I just don’t know where to start. The carnival excursions are pricey for just 3 hours..

[@jamesgardner578]

Good morning favor fam I’m going in February on RCL Adventure of the seas

[@LifeWithFavor]

Have so much fun! Have some pizza for me! Thank you for watching!

[@lindamontemayor6265]

Hello Favor and Rob. You mentioned a cruise to the ABC islands. Can you advise details on that. Thanks so much for any info. Love watching yours vlogs.

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi! Our Carnival Horizon vlogs have Aruba and Curaçao as port stops and they were AMAZING! We have not been to Bonaire yet so I cannot offer any info there. here is a link to the play list: kzbin.info/aero/PLm5oPa1EMIs3SCUuqjI50I08HM0YCIEjh We will be sailing ABC again in 2024 on Vista. Hugs!

[@miked4306]

How long did it take you to the VIFP level, very impressed, and are you happy with those benefits vs other cruise liners?

[@joshuagerami5802]

Hello Life With Favor I Like Your Galveston Texas Carnival Dream Cruise Vlogs i am Going to Waco Texas and Grapevine Texas and Fort Worth Texas on My Thanksgiving Break This Week Life With Favor

[@LifeWithFavor]

Enjoy your road trip! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ellamaestogo5866]

Hello, my husband and I are going on the dream in Dec. And we were wondering do the wall in the cabin are they metal?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi, I am fairly certain they are but for an answer that is 100% I would check cruise critic... people on there will know for sure! Happy cruising!

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Hi Favor, love your videos! We just booked this cruise on the Dream for next Feb 25-Mar 5 and are so excited. Question - do you change the clocks on the ship since all ports are Eastern time zone? Thanks

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi! Thank you! Time change: It depends. Your cruise director will let you know well in advance if clocks will change according to your port of call or if you will stay on ships time. You will get a notice in your cabin and it will be announced several times over the speaker and usually your dining team will remind you. On our particular sailing we did change times but not in every port. MarQ our cruise director made announcements in the mornings to let us know. You are going to have a blast! Happy cruising and have some pasta for me! Hugs!

[@davidchilton8509]

Hi Favor and Robert. I love your vlogs. very instructive. Ive never been on a cruise and would like very much to go on one but my wife is hesitant. We live very near Galveston, (Clear Lake City) and have worked in Galveston when we were first married. What cruise line and ship would you recommend for a couple in their 60's?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi my friend! Hmm that is a big question! To recommend a cruise line I need to know a bit more about your personality and what type of fun you like to have! SO when I get asked this question this is my usual reply. If you like to join in on the fun, listen to music on the pool decks have plenty of grab and go included food options and enjoy a drink or two or more then Carnival is your line. If you prefer to sit back and watch the fun and listen to music but not all the time, like to have more quiet spots around the ship and fewer crew lead activities then Royal and or Norwegian are for you. If you really like to relax, have peace and quiet, top notch food choices, really fun but quiet/calmer crew lead activities and very little music around the ship and no water parks or water activities, only a pool then Princess is for you. We cruise Carnival for the Go, Go, Go cruise experince with lots of fun crew lead activities. We cruise Royal/Norwegian for the AMAZING Entertainment, the good food and the BIG ships with loads of different and often unique experiences. We cruise Princess to relax. We had a GREAT princess cruise but is is a slower cruise and there is nothing at all wrong with that! Hope this helps! Whatever line you cruise you can do as much or as little as you want. ANY of the lines you can find quiet places to relax and you can find good music and happening spots with dancing and lots of fun! Hugs!

[@sabrinalavdisarnold825]

How early can you drop off your carryon bag in your cabin? I would like to drop off our sodas. We'll have 3 12-packs.

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi, If you are platinum or above once you are on the ship you can go and drop off in your cabin. Otherwise they ask that you not go to your cabin. That said, I try and wait until at least 11 or 12 in Galveston to allow our room steward time to at least get the last person's towels/sheets/trash etc out of our cabin so our items are not in their way. Hugs!

Hi! Did you drive in from Houston? Is the drive ok on the day of embarkation?

Hi, we live in Katy and drive in the day of on all of our Galveston cruises and so far have never had an issue. It is about 2-2.5 hours for us. Hugs!

If and hopefully when we find out that my husband is in remission ( Dec 21st ) we might take a cruise instead of an all inclusive. I think that you have my personal email. Could you tell me there what crusies you have planned so if we do take a cruise we could finally meet with you ?
