Carnival Victory - June 2006 - 4 Day to Halifax

This was our eighth cruise overall (2 Princess, 2 Celebrity and 3 RCCL) and our first on Carnival.

Embarkation - We drove to New York from Pennsylvania, and other than getting through the Lincoln Tunnel, the ride was uneventful and we were at the pier by 11:30 AM. We parked on the pier (paid our $96 for four days) and waited at the elevator for about five minutes. Got tired of waiting and decided to take our bags on the escalator which ended up bypassing the baggage check in area. Within ten minutes we were on board (carrying all of our three pieces of luggage) and dropped them in our room, which wouldn't be ready until 1:00 PM. Read more
