This was our 3rd cruise with Carnival. DH's 4th overall, my 10th.

We stayed at the Intercontinental and watched as a Royal Caribbean pulled in Saturday morning and then our Triumph. The lighting was dimmer on the Triumph and DH deemed our ship the "Ghetto Ship". It was a joke... for the most part!

Check in was quick and easy... got to the port at around 12:15, sitting down for a quick bite by 1:00. Deli as wonderful as we remembered. Into the room by 1:45.
