Well to start off my husband and I are 28 and this is our 3rd cruise with Carnival. We are always partial to carnival based on the value and past service has always been great!
We started our stay by arriving Friday night and staying at Radisson at the Port - which is great because you can park your car for free and get a shuttle ride over to the port, luggage and all for just a tip to the driver! Awesome!
Embarkation - dropped off the luggage, filled out a health form, got our paperwork ready, did our sign and sail and walked on the ship within 15 minutes. Very fast and efficent process.
