Overall, a fun weekend away. The ship itself is very colorful.
EMBARKATION -- Fairly smooth - Was met at the airport by a Carnival representative and took a bus to the pier. Not too long of a wait. Expect to stand in lines for a bit while you go through the process to check in and get your Sail and Sign Card. You'll also have to face the first of what will be many encounters with ship's photographers.
Once on board I had to attract the attention of a crew member to get directions to my cabin. Luggage was delivered quite quickly.
