We are casual cruisers from the U.K. and this was our third cruise, our first with Carnival.
Embarkation:
We stayed a few days pre-cruise in Miami (Sofitel Miami airport) so we were able to get to the port earlier than we were meant to, however this wasn't a problem. We arrived at 10.30 am and were through check-in in 15 minutes, we were given a zone 3 card and then sat for about an hour waiting to board. When boarding commenced we were on within 15 minutes. We were able to get a drink at the bar and had lunch at Rosie's buffet which was still relatively quiet.
6449, very roomy nice balcony. Was a little noisy because the Eagle bar is right below
