Loved the ship and the crew, Kudos to them. The ports choices, I would have liked one of the privately owned Cays instead.
The port is easy to get to and find, we stopped by to see the ship and get pictures before parking. I chose to park away from the port and arrived by shuttle. Our luggage was quickly taken and we were on our way in at 12:30 AM. Inside there was a short 5 minute wait to get through security. But the check-in was immediate and we were on the way to the ship with out any wait.
First stop, Mongolian Grill. Wow, I remember when the lines where short, but this was a popular place on the ship and the lines were normally long. Depending on the cook, the dishes were excellent. Ate on the back deck and waited for the rooms to be ready. While we waited for the rooms, we grabbed a pizza and it was up to par with Carnivals past cruises. Actually, I noticed they cooked them a little longer and the crust bubbled and the chesses slightly browned.... Loved it! Some how found room for dessert and grabbed on of my favorite desserts, Vanilla Napoleon with Cherries.
Lots of crew traffic late at night, Smoke from the crew smoking outside on the front deck lofted into the cabin.
