This was our second cruise on the Carnival Destiny and it was even better then last year. We decided to go on the Destiny again because of a deal we got due to a class action lawsuit that Carnival had. We were able to get a very nice balcony cabin for less than what most people paid for a standard room. This time we went on the European Delight itinerary.

The flight from Phoenix was long as usual but traveling from the West coast makes embarkation a snap. We arrived in San Juan around 6:30 pm and went down to baggage claim to meet the Carnival representatives. We hailed a porter and picked up our luggage and had it taken out to one of the busses waiting to take us to the pier. Very easy. Make sure you get a porter if you have lots of bags.

Embarkation was very easy since most of the guests were already on the ship. We walked in got our Sign and Sail cards and our picture taken and were in our room all within a half hours time. Read more
