Carnival Vista vs. Carnival Dream vs. Carnival Breeze: How Carnival's Three Galveston Based Ships Compare

7/17/2022

 
Carnival Dream Docked In GalvestonCarnival Dream Docked In Galveston
          Currently, the Carnival Vista, Carnival Breeze, and Carnival Dream sail from Galveston. This combination of cruise ships gives Galveston cruisers many itinerary choices and options for cruising. The Carnival Vista has been sailing from Galveston since 2018, the Carnival Dream began sailing from Galveston in 2019, and the Carnival Breeze came back to Galveston after the coronavirus pandemic shutdown to start cruising in 2021. 
      While all three of these ships are Carnival Cruise Line's ships, there are a few differences between the three. Each of these three ships are members of different ship classes. 
         I decided to put together a chart that will compare some basic information, amenities, and features of all three of these ships. ​The information is not comprehensive, which means not all differences or features are included. The goal of this chart is to give some basic information about each ship.
