Being Miami residents , cruising is like going to the beach. Embarking in Miami is not one of our favorite things. We rather drive and embark somewhere else.The passengers tend to be rowdy and rude.
Embarkation process was fairly easy being we are Platinum members and we had our own area to embark. This was a change from previous cruises, so when we got to the ship we were stress free for a change.
The ship itself was very nicely decorated a far cry from the usual Carnival decor.Our stateroom w/balcony was very spacious and we had no qualms about any of it including the bed and pillows.
Mid ship balcony cabin, excellent location , nothing small about it.Plenty of room .
