Carnival Dream Docked In Galveston Currently, the Carnival Vista, Carnival Freedom, and Carnival Dream sail from Galveston. This combination of cruise ships gives Galveston cruisers many itinerary choices and options for cruising. The Carnival Vista began sailing from Galveston in September 2018 and the Carnival Freedom began sailing from Galveston in February 2015. The Carnival Dream is the most recent Carnival ship to be deployed from Galveston and the ship has been out of Galveston since May 2019.
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.
