I had never cruised with Carnival America before.
It took quite a long time to board this ship, lots of elderly passengers having to wait in long lines to board the ship.
I'm not used to having to give up my passport to a cruise company until we were ready to get off the ship,but I got over it in the end:)
Cabin 1185 is a bit noisy a night, it has the casino above it.
It is near the lifts\stairs, launderette and is a good size for an inside cabin.
