My wife and I sailed on our first cruise/honeymoon cruise on 3/26/06. Sorry it has taken me a long time to write the review, but I just never thought about it.
Booked through online only travel agent and included cruise air. Total cost was around $2,400.00 (airfare was not cheap either booked separately or through cruise line.) We were in a cabin 6432. It was one of the special L-Shaped Cabins that had a queen bed and huge balcony.
We left Raleigh around 7:30 and connected in Wash. DC - Reagan Airport to Ft. Lauderdale. Once in FLL we got our bags and found the Carnival rep. She made us wait forever. We arrived in FLL around 11:00 and were made to wait until 2:30 to leave for the ship. We were not happy and the lady that worked for Carnival must have been recruited from the DMV. She had no personality and was very rude. I asked her several times that if it was going to be awhile more that we needed to go get some food and come back. She just kept telling us that if we left for some food and the bus was ready, they would not wait. So we finished off what snacks we had.
