Traveled with wife and four children - we had three balcony rooms on Verandah (Deck 8) forward, starboard. It was our third cruise with Carnival.
Highlights:
Embarkation and Debarkation at Port Canaveral cannot be easier or faster. We arrived at port at 10:45AM and were on the ship by 11:15AM. We have learned to show up early - you beat the line and get on earlier. Even at this time we were loading zone 14 and could have come yet earlier. Clearing customs on the return was very easier - no more than five minutes. Clearing Jacksonville and Miami customs took much longer. We very highly recommend Port Canaveral and Carnival for their on/off process here - they do a very good job.
Overall great room, plenty of space, three closets, drawers for storage plus fridge, safe and nice themed room. Balcony is great. This room is forward and on the starboard side and views are excellent. Love Carnival's balcony rooms.
