Our group was myself, wife, son and daughter in law. This was our second cruise, both with Carnival. We flew in from Ohio. Worrying about the hurricane that was brewing in the gulf.
We pre-purchased the Carnival shuttle from the airport to the port. Went very smooth.
Embarkation- We got to the pier around noon, checked the bags when we got off the buss.
Cabin- We had a balcony cabin on the port side of the Upper Deck. Very nice and clean cabin.
I was concerned about the view, being over the life boats. But it was a perfect view. Our
cabin was sort of in the front just as the waves were breaking. Very quiet room.
