Embarkation was very quick, there were lines but they moved quickly. the crown and anchor was definately a lot short than regular lines. Beautiful ship!!! we boarded about 1pm and our cabin was ready. we explored the ship and had pizza for lunch it was very good. our cabin was 2582. It was average size. very quiet. slept like a rock every night! was very comfortable. it did have a smaller port hole , verses some very large ones in most rooms. our cabin attendant was great, I swear he was always working very hard!! we had pre paid gratuities ,but gave him a little extra because he was so good!!!

Sea day , was good. Never felt overcrowded anywhere. Was surprised to hear there was 3900 people on the ship. So many pools verses ,other cruises we have been on. Our son loved the flow rider and did it every day. We had our two kids with us 16, and 17. They were disappointed with the teen club, said carnival was much better. But overall like the cruise better than others we had been on. My son almost 18, hated the 1 am curfew for kids. Carnival has no curfew. My daughter and I ,did the mother daughter Massage. Was great!!!
