This was our 7th cruise overall and our 6th one on a Carnival ship. We love Carnival so we booked this cruise without a second thought! Being this cruise would also take in Halloween, we were very excited about going! We are big kids at heart! We packed our Halloween costumes and headed for the port!

We also brought along my new travel sized mobility scooter, being this was our first cruise with me having limited mobility issues (due to neck and back problems). The scooter measures only 17 inches wide and it fits through a regular sized cabin door. It breaks in to 2 pieces and fits in the trunk of a compact car - still leaving room for groceries next to it. I am mentioning it because it plays a major role in why we were treated so badly on this cruise - more to come on that issue later.

Embarkation: We used Carnival transfers from Orlando airport to the cruise terminal. Drivers were always polite and helpful. Bus rides to and from the airport/cruise terminal were prompt and the buses were comfortable. Ran in to some problems inside the cruise terminal. We were directed to an area where other mobility challenged passengers were waiting for help. After sitting there for quite some time, we decided to get in to the regular line. That line moved quickly and we had our sail & sign cards in no time! But then we were once again directed to sit back in the other waiting area. Read more
