This was our 4th cruise on Carnival. We wanted to venture to a new destination other than the Bahamas, so we chose Canada.
We live in North Carolina and prefer to drive to the ports, and found New York was similar driving distance for us as to Miami.
We stayed in Lyndhurst NJ prior to the trip for a couple of days and explored New York City as part of our trip.
Nice location. Central to both the Amber Palace and the Platinum Dining room.
There was some noise from below occasionally, but not excessive.
