We chose this cruise because the dates worked for us after 5 days at Disneyland.

Our cruise family included myself, DH in one OV cabin and my DD and her BFF (both 13) in the OV cabin beside us. This was our 5th Carnival cruise, second out of Long Beach and first not having a balcony. We decided to go with 2 OV cabins instead of one suite to give the girls and us more space and two bathrooms! It worked out very well.

We had FTTF and arrived at port around 11:00 - it took way less time to get from Disney to the port than we anticipated. However we were able to check in right away and were among the first on board an hour later! We were in our rooms with drinks in hand by noon!!! Our bags arrived within the hour - love love love FTTF. We all had lunch, a quick tour and nap well before the muster drill. It was great getting on board so early! This is our third cruise with FTTF - it is a MUST buy for us each time. Read more
