Embarkation

We decided to book this cruise at the last minute to do something different and special for our anniversary. We always book with our Carnival PVP since she has taken good care of us so far. We booked a flight to Miami from Atlanta leaving the same day as the cruise. We did not experience any major problems getting to Miami. Our flight left Atlanta about 30 minutes late but the pilot did a good job of making up the time. We got to the airport at about 12:45 and waited for the very slow baggage people to get our luggage on the conveyor belt. After we collected our bags, we caught a cab to the terminal. The porter that handled our bags and the Carnival employees inside were nice and helpful. What was not so nice were the security people and the check-in lines. Just a hint, if you're on the Main, Upper, or Empress decks, prepare to wait a while. These decks had the longest lines by far. By the time we got checked in and up to the area where they take the embarkation photo, I was in no mood for a picture.
