History: My Husband & I just sailed on our 13th cruise. We are both 45. We have cruised with Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland America and of course Carnival. This was our 5th Carnival cruise but have sailed on the other lines for the past several. Our return to Carnival was great!!! I had previously ranked them lower than the other cruise lines but was pleasantly surprised how on par they are.
Travel to the Pier: We drove from Toronto and this time parked across the river at Weehawkin (Port Imperial) Parking is much more reasonable than at the Pier in New York!! Enjoyed the 10 min Ferry over and very short walk to the Ship.
Embarkation: was fine 30 minutes and we were on the ship
