My husband and I have cruised about nine times and this is our first time on Carnival. I wanted to try their new ship and booked it for the itinerary of Aruba and Curacao. We usually get a mini-suite but this time upgraded to an Ocean Suite on deck seven.

We flew into Miami the night before and stayed at the Best Western which arranged a shuttle to the port. We arrived around noon and I was too impressed with the embarkation. It was a very crowded terminal building and finally someone told us which line was for suite passengers. When we got to the end of the line we hit a bunch of people in another lineup! Very strange and confusing. It turned out that our service desk was on the other side of the line-up so we had to cut through them to get set-up by a clerk.

But that was only part one. Then we had to go to another waiting area where there were about 40 passengers waiting to get processed. They were called in order of arrival and it was very hard to hear your name since the lady just stood at one end of the room and called your name. Once chairs became available we moved up closer to the front.

Cabin Review

Deck Seven about 3 cabins from the forward elevators. Very convenient. Balcony was very noisy when there were people in the hot tub on Deck 5 and/or in the Ocean Plaza outdoor cafe. You cannot look down at the water anymore from this deck. Looking down you see Deck Five. No problems with the cabin itself.
