Kinda starting to think I shouldn’t have booked with carnival after reading through this thread

I cruise on Carnival once/yr.

1- RCCL and NCL never run that itinerary from Galveston. You’d have the extra expense to fly to FL to go the Bahamas on those lines.

2- Expect a party crowd. You’re on an 8 day so that’s going to limit a lot of the riff-raff. People are going for a long trip and to do exactly what you are doing—get over to the Bahamas from Galveston.

3- There will be a ton of families and kids which will temper any rowdiness.

4- I’ve been on the Dream. It’s a nice ship. They’ve added some of the dining from newer ships. Its design is the louder, bright decor more like Carnival’s older ships. But it’s pretty popular.
