FYI  two mid 50's adults, true Carnival fans, Florida residents, first time sailing in the month of January! Booked an Ocean View  Main Deck cabin 65, right near the elevators.

Arrived at Port Canaveral before the buses hit, just prior to 11 am; we were far from the first cruisers to arrive. When paying for our parking the attendant advised us that we would receive complimentary valet parking as Elation would be returning to port and docking in Glory's spot and our car would be brought to us. The only other choice we had would be to drive to the other terminal and park and get transportation to our docking area  no thanks  we wanted on the ship!

Embarkation was a breeze! Fun Pass was completed as were immigration forms as was sign and sail form  in no time we had our sign and sail cards and were on our way to sit and wait until 11:30 to board the ship. Read more
