Traveling Companions: My husband and I traveled with our best friends from college, we have been traveling together for 7 years. There were 3 couples in all. This was our 4th cruise, our 3rd with Carnival.

My DH and I flew in from Florida to Puerto Rico on Saturday, our friends were to fly in the next day from Alabama. We flew American Airlines on a direct flight which was very nice arriving in PR at 10am. There were no problems with our flight on both arrival and departure.
