Cruising from Baltimore was great! They have the check-in/check-out process down to a science. We were able to park and get on board within 20 mins (NOTE: Parking for the week will cost you UPFRONT $105).
As with all Carnival Cruises, the staff greeted us with many warm welcomes. The atmosphere was filled with people of great spirits and seemingly happy to be vacationing. Of course lunch was available on the Ledo deck as we await the rooms to be available. Our bags were at our door when we got to the room at approximately 2:30pm. The room stewart greeted us and introduced himself shortly after getting into our room. His service the entire time was excellent and was always just a phone call away.
We chose "your time dining" which is convenient, however there was often a wait of about 20-30 mins for a table since it was 9 of us who wanted to eat together. Service in the dining room was great too but twice we did experience a long wait time between the food starters and the main course.
This is unlike other Carnival sailing I've been on. On "the fun ship" there are always activities for everyone, however my daugher (in the 15-17 age category) was often bored with the O2 club. This age can be a bit difficult at times because of their great desire to be older and go into the adult (18+) clubs, but can not. It would be great if Carnival had a bit more late night activities for this age group.
