We flew into Miami the day of the Cruise having already purchased Carnival's transfers to the ship. There were several passengers on our flight from CLT to MIA that arrived at 12:10 pm. We were met at baggage claim by a Carnival Rep and after everyone had collected their bags we were escorted to a waiting coach. We waited about 1 hour to load the luggage and then depart for the ship. Upon arrival, the porters quickly took our bags and we were directed inside the terminal. The lines were long considering it was now going on 2 pm. Security was quick and we were directed upstairs to check in and obtain our Sign and Sail cards and soon we were stepping foot onto the Carnival Glory. The lines at embarkation would be the longest lines of the week for anything.

We quickly made our way to our balcony cabin 6282 on the Upper Deck, we were right off the main glass elevators, but noise was not a problem at anytime during the cruise due to the location of the cabin near the elevators. We checked out the balcony and then made our way up to the Lido deck for lunch as we had not eaten since around 7 that morning we landed in Charlotte and had 3 ½ hours between flights. We had enough time to eat before the muster drill. We made our way down to muster station D for the drill, the other passengers began making their way as well. By the time the alarm sounded to signal the start of the drill just about all passengers were in place. Gary, the cruise director made an announcement that we would be just a little late in leaving. If you looked over the side you could still set that luggage was being loaded. At a little after 5 we set sail for our first port of call, Nassau. As we had early sitting for dinner we decided to make our way back to the cabin to see if any luggage had made it yet, all 4 of our pieces had made it, I was surprised as we were one of the last groups to embark.

The seas were a little rough, but I have seen rougher. (Shows in the main lounge, the Amber Palace) would be cancelled 2 nights because of rough seas and for the safety of the dancers and performers. Some passengers were upset, but Carnival can not control the weather and since I was not at home and not working this did not upset me, after all I was on vacation and I was going to have a good time rain or shine. By the way it rained 5 days.
