This was my 7th cruise with Carnival, and my least favorite. I went with a group of 19.
Embarkation: we took a bus from Providence to NY. It was chaotic when we got there! Not to mention that the buses AC broke and we were all hot and irritated by the time we got there. The wait was not that long in the terminal, what took forever was the line to check in. Of all the cruise i have taken, this one seemed to be the most unorganized that i have been on. When it was finally our turn to check in the girl at the desk had no clue what was going on. She didn't even know how to take my credit card and activate my sign and sail, and said the machines were down and i could go to the pursers desk and they could do it later. Funny thing was the people next to me, who were in my group, had no problem with activating there sign and sail card with their credit card.
Days at Sea: these, in my opinion are the best days to relax and have fun!! i enjoyed them very much and met some really nice people! We all hung out at the aft pool because it was suppose to be adults only.
