Background: Two first timers, a married couple in our 40's. We were accompanied by parents who had cruised before but never with Carnival.
* We were on the cruise that was postponed a day because the ship could not come into port due to high winds. Carnival called us to let us know not to come into port. My parents are in St. Pete, so we hadn't even left home yet. For us it was no problem. They compenstated us well.
Embarkation/Disembarkation: It was so smooth and fast. No waits at all. My uncle dropped us off out front, a porter was right there.It was super organized. My parents said it was the most organized embarkation and debarkation ever for them.
Super convenient location, close to atrium. One floor up to dining room. Quiet.Not much movement. Connecting room.Plenty of closet space. Great shower.
