Carnival Cruise Lines will introduce its first comedy club on its new 130,000-ton Carnival Dream. The club will feature six comedy shows on four nights during each voyage. The new 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream -- the line’s largest ship -- is set to debut Sept. 21.
Presented in the 425-seat Burgundy Lounge, the comedy club will highlight a variety of comedians offering both family-friendly and adult-only performances each night. Six 35-minute shows will be presented nightly, with show times at 6, 7:15, 8:30, 9:45 and 11 p.m., and 12:15 a.m. The last two performances will be R-rated adult-only shows.
Carnival Dream’s comedy club is one of several entertainment options. Three high-energy revues -- “Dancin’ in the Street,” “Get Ready” and “X-Treme Country” – will feature elaborate sets and costumes, video technology and sophisticated special effects. The Ocean Plaza is an indoor/outdoor café/live music venue with activities and entertainment planned from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m. Guests can relax with specialty coffees and sweets while enjoying a variety of live music.
Located on Promenade Deck 5, Ocean Plaza will also serve as the venue for activities ranging from scrapbooking classes and trivia contests to karaoke, and art, spa and photo seminars. Jugglers and magic shows also will be presented, while the Fun Force, Carnival’s acrobatic troupe, will perform high-flying antics. Other diversions on Carnival Dream will include solo entertainers along the Dream Street Promenade, a karaoke lounge, sing-a-longs in Sam’s Piano Bar, steel drum and Calypso bands on Lido Deck, and live bands playing everything from rock to Latin to disco.
Carnival Dream will also feature Carnival’s Seaside Theatre, a massive LED screen on Lido Deck showing movies, concerts, sporting events and other programming.
Carnival Dream debuts Sept. 21 with the first of three 12-day Grand Mediterranean cruises operating roundtrip from Rome (Civitavecchia), followed by a 16-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Rome to New York from Oct. 27 to Nov. 12. Carnival Dream will operate two eight-day Bahamas/Florida cruises departing Nov. 15 and Nov. 23 from New York.
The ship will then reposition to Port Canaveral, Fla., for a nine-day Caribbean cruise departing Dec. 3. Carnival Dream will launch year-round seven-day Caribbean service from Port Canaveral on Dec. 12. Reservations are currently being accepted for Carnival Dream’s European and Caribbean departures.
