8th cruise overall, 6th on Carnival.
Embarkation: Very quick.....arrived at port around 11, pretty much straight through to get our Sail and Sign Cards. Boarding Zone 2. On the ship by 12:15 eating a Guy's Burger and drinking a beer. No complaints with this process. Went to see if our room on Lido was available about 1:10, all good, suitcase already there! Good tip to the porter seemed to help!
First Night: Got my Drinks on Us card from Felipe. Gambled a bit, nothing major, decent drink service. Early dining, put in a booth with another married couple. Everything was a bit slow, but overall decent.
Great location! Quiet hallway, close to the food/pool, but not too loud! Old television, no flat screen yet!
