What a great cruise! – We were watching the weather closely before we left to see if Hurricane Matthew would impact our trip. By going to the Carnival website we were able keep apprised of their plans – the only change preboarding was that we were going to switch Freeport & Nassau.
The ship announced 2,100 passengers – so I think that there were a fair number of pre board cancelations – it did not seem crowded and everyone was relaxed & having a good time.
I purchased "Faster to the Fun" and thought that was worthwhile - avoided much of waiting around.
