Started with a drive to Port Canaveral and stay at Comfort Inn with their park and cruise package. Going was easy on shuttle return was not nearly as good.Room at Comfort inn was not as good as past two stays.AC was loud all night. Breakfast was provided in the morning.
Embarkation was fairly easy. the only real problem is the Carnival people at dock do not do a good job of communicating where to go after each part of process. They send you one place and tell you to wait and after they complete that part of process they send you one place to sit to wait for boarding. Then you find that you were supposed to be sitting upstairs. After boarding my room was ready when i boarded as a Platnium member. Went to one of Lido for lunch and had one of many average meals.
My room was 12016 a Spa cabin . Cabin was good and our cabin steward Denis and his crew were great overall and very friendly during the entire stay. Cabin was always clean and ready when we left and returned..Minor problem was that only two elevators went to the 12th floor. They did not travel there quickly as waits could be several minutes long. Not a great problem as it was only two floor walk if took another elevator.Had to learn the ship as it rained on Friday and could not figure out how to get to breakfast without going outside.
Cabin was in the middle of the floor. Easy elevator access when they got there. Could walk out dood and onto the Serenity deck. and walk across to Lido. Problem with room someone liking to sleep later than 6am is cleaning on Serenity deck starts then and you hear chairs moving around. Easy availability to spa if you have a package, Balcony is good position when docking to see ports on this cruise.
