Sail Date: Mar 2014

My husband and I have just returned from the March 8th sailing with port calls in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. This was our 10th cruise, and 6th on Carnival. By way of background, we are mid 40's with no kids. Vacations for us mean sleeping late, drinking, eating, relaxing by the pool, gambling and enjoying the music and comedy shows. We have enjoyed Carnival cruises in the past because they generally draw a younger crowd with more nightlife, and we know what to expect for what is usually a very fair price. This cruise far exceeded our expectations!

Embarkation: This was a breeze. We live about 4 hours away, so we drove down and arrived around 2pm. We parked in the structure and used the curbside porter service for our checked bags. Went through security, checked in and were on board within 30 minutes. Note that they will take your picture for the sail & sign security, and that you have to remove your hat for that photo (not a very attractive photo for me since I had been wearing my baseball cap for the past 5 hours). Also, if you wear a hat into port, you will need to remove it for security purposes when returning to the ship, but at least they are taking a photo.

Our cabin was ready, so we dropped off our carry on baggage and headed for the back pool bar. Drink in hand it was time to explore the ship. Enjoyed some sail away music on the Lido deck and headed to our cabin to unpack.

Cabin Review

We had a standard balcony cabin on the Verandah deck.
