Embarkation: This is the second time out of Tampa. We got into line after dropping the car off with Capital Parking at about 11:00. We did a cash deposit of $700 for our sail & sign, they had a special line for this and we were the only ones in it. The credit card line was very long, glad we did cash. We were on the ship by 11:30-11:45.
Ship: Room 4124 (interior with french doors) was wonderful, great layout (king bed, sleeper sofa and 1 upper) for family of 4 and a great central location on the ship. General layout of the ship was good, it never really felt crowded and we quickly figured out how to get around.
Our first time locating Camp Carnival and Circle "C" was a bit confusing, but we kind of liked it being hidden so we did not have to worry about some drunk finding the area late at night.
Great set up for a family of 4. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids aged 12 and 11.
