History: This is our second cruise, both were with Carnival. This was however, our first without kids so we were able to splurge on our room. Boy am I glad I did. We are now spoiled for any future cruises!
Embarkation: arrived at the cruise terminal about 10:30 and was on board within 30 minutes.
Cabin: The aft wrap around cabin could not have been nicer! We spent most of our time in the cabin on our own balcony - away from the crowds. Since our balcony wrapped around the ship, we always had a nice place to sit outside away from rain and/or wind. The cabin was for the most part quiet, we did hear chairs scratching over us during the day only, but it was not bad. The balcony had 5 chairs and 2 tables. 2 of these chairs reclined so we could lay down...the tables quickly became our foot rests.
