Spent the night before the cruise aboard the Queen Mary which was right by the carnival terminal. On cruise day we rolled our luggage over to the area of embarkation.

An extremely incompetent Carnival employee tried to direct us into the main LONG waiting line though our boarding passes said PRIORITY on them. He finally realized this and directed us to the Captains Lounge for us to check in. We did not see any porters to take luggage (they were on other side though no Carnival employees were swift enough to point this out). We got checked in (partially as it turns out) and were on way to security priority line. It was then that we got turned around to go find a porter. That took about 20 minutes, at which time when returning we got mixed in main line. They also neglected to put a Faster to the Fun sticker on our Sail and Sign cards. So the whole Priority experience was totally ruined!

Once onboard we got up to our suite, which was very nice. The decorations ordered were in place and liquor was delivered prior to our arrival. Our luggage took several hours, contrary to Faster to the Fun money spent.

Cabin Review

Ocean Suite

Cabin OS

Our cabin was great (aside from the whirlpool not working). Quite roomy and the balcony was huge. Bring an extension cord if you use CPAP machines or noise generators. Also a power strip. Recommend minimum 15 foot cord.

Our steward was absolutely the best.

Los Angeles

Stayed aboard the Queen Mary the night before. This was an awesome experience and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Puerto Vallarta

Great show, wonderful meal. The 45 minute boat ride each was made fun by the crew entertaining us.

Cabo San Lucas

Not much good too say about Cabo. Was only there a few hours and quite tired of all the hustling by vendors and beggars.
