<p>The massive scale of Carnival&rsquo;s newest and largest &ldquo;Fun Ship,&rdquo; the 130,000-ton Carnival Dream, combined with recent technological advancements and the incredible imagination of the line&rsquo;s entertainment team, have created the most spectacular shows at sea that raise the bar on shipboard entertainment.<span></span></p>
<p>In addition to three spell-binding production revues that will feature elaborate sets and costumes, state-of-the-art video technology and sophisticated special effects, Carnival Dream will offer a multitude of entertainment choices, everything from solo singers, comedians, and live bands to &ldquo;Fun Force,&rdquo; the line&rsquo;s high-energy acrobatic team, which will perform in different areas throughout the ship.</p>
<p>&nbsp;The first production show, titled &ldquo;Dancin&rsquo; in the Street,&rdquo; is a dramatic departure for the line, combining a gritty, urban feel with the latest in special effects, including groundbreaking neon lighting and video projection technology, to create a truly spectacular and memorable show. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Dancin&rsquo; in the Street&rdquo; makes maximum use of the Carnival Dream&rsquo;s talented cast &ndash; particularly the &ldquo;Fun Force&rdquo; team which takes center stage in the show and entertains guests with break-dancing numbers, acrobatic Chinese pole routines and even a high-flying trampoline segment to leave audiences breathless.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Realistic sets with city scenes &ndash; exposed brick walls, street lights, and more &ndash; along with recognizable songs that run the gamut from pop and R&amp;B to hip-hop and hard rock, make &ldquo;Dancin&rsquo; in the Street&rdquo; a truly one-of-a-kind show.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second show, &ldquo;Get Ready,&rdquo; takes a musical look at various professions through a variety of styles and genres, from classic tunes of the Motown era to recognizable R&amp;B hits and songs from some of the greatest vocal artists of all time, with elaborate production numbers themed to different occupations.&nbsp; Showcasing the Carnival Dream&rsquo;s highly talented singers and dancers, the 50-minute show is sure to have audiences singing and dancing in the aisles.</p>
<p>In &ldquo;Get Ready,&rdquo; legendary hits such as &ldquo;Midnight Train to Georgia&rdquo; and &ldquo;Mustang Sally&rdquo; are playfully employed to highlight transportation workers, while crowd-pleasing songs like &ldquo;Please Mr. Postman&rdquo; and &ldquo;Signed Sealed and Delivered&rdquo; offer a unique homage to mail carriers. Popular contemporary tunes including &ldquo;Sledgehammer&rdquo; and &ldquo;Work to Do&rdquo; are featured in the construction segment while &ldquo;Rescue Me&rdquo; and &ldquo;Hold On, I&rsquo;m Coming&rdquo; round out a high-energy number focusing on rescue workers.</p>
<p>Like the name implies, the third show, &ldquo;Xtreme Country,&rdquo; is a toe-tapping salute to country and western music with a unique Carnival twist. The show opens, appropriately enough, with a visit to a rodeo with singers and dancers donning 10-gallon hats for a clap-along line-dancing number, followed by a stop at a ranch and a raucous saloon, with authentic western-themed sets and costumes.&nbsp; The show culminates in a memorable finale showcasing the U.S.&rsquo;s familiar red, white and blue, ending with a magnificent fireworks flash.</p>
<p>In addition to these three lavish revues, Carnival Dream will offer a diversity of entertainment venues to suit every mood or taste.</p>
<p>These include the new Ocean Plaza which will not only offer a unique venue place for guests to relax and unwind but will also feature a wide variety of different entertainment options that will vary throughout the day and night.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also offered on the Carnival Dream will be the line&rsquo;s legendary comedy revues with hilarious comedians who have appeared on network talk shows and comedy clubs across the country. &nbsp;Carnival Dream will also feature Carnival&rsquo;s Seaside Theatre, a massive LED screen on Lido Deck that will display movies, concerts, sporting events and other programming.</p>
<p>Other options include solo singers along the Dream Street promenade, a dedicated karaoke lounge, rollicking sing-a-longs in Sam&rsquo;s piano bar, steel drum and Calypso bands on Lido Deck and live bands playing everything from rock to country to disco.</p>
