We flew in the day before and stayed at the Wyndham Hotel at the Miami Airport. Check out time at the hotel was 11am, then we got a taxi to the cruise ship, $25. Embarkation was extremely fast. We were on board before 1230p and could eat up on Lido then, but our rooms were blocked off. The hallway doors were locked until 130p. We toured the ship and did some people watching. At least two huge family reunions were on board with us.

At 130p we went to our room 9212, Don expected it to be smaller than what it was, considering the past two Carnival ships we were on we had Balcony rooms. There were three closets, a small chest w/ three drawers, and two night tables with a door to hide away belongings. A nice size TV- with an extension cord behind it that had the TV and the safe plugged in. Also, there is a plug in on the desk with an international plug and one 110 plug.

Muster drill went smoothly, nice calm day of weather. Then it was off to the Cruise Critic meet and greet :) A nice group- we saw at least four couples routinely throughout the week. It was nice to see familiar faces. Food: In the Washington Dining room, Rohan and Evighenny, were taking care of us for dinner. Wonderful service, and Rohan took time after dessert was finished to stop and talk with us each night. He told us of his room on board, and how during his free time he sleeps mostly. He has been with Carnival for 14 years. Rosie's Restaurant had a wonderful assortment of food at breakfast. The last buffet line seemed to have more available. We didn't eat lunches. We tried the sushi bar on the last night, there were a few nights it wasn't open on our way to or from the early sitting. Don ate at the pizza place a couple of times and said it was decent, not like back home though.
