Embarkation day, Sept. 26 We checked into the QM at about 9:30 am and then proceeded over to the terminal to wait in a line for 3 ½ hours. But we were 15th to get on board in our line!! My hats off to the Carnival workers who kept people from coming forward to cut in line. These women must have children because they have eyes in the back of their heads. They could see them coming before they knew they were coming.
Carnival allows the weddings on first, Skippers Club then those needing assistance. By the way, just because one person is in a wheelchair it does NOT allow the party of 12 with them to get on. Then the pre-registered guests are allowed on. From this point on SMILE!!! Every time you turn around you are posing for a photo-op!!
The lines moved quite quickly once we started. You first go through x-ray then off to your first photo-op. Next station your sign & sail card is placed in a kiosk and your photo is once again taken. Make sure you take the time to look at this lovely picture when you return to the ship at one of the ports. My DH had his tongue sticking out!! LOL. Then it is off across the gangway to the ship. Oh yeah Smile!!! Another Photo-op.
