Ok....let's get this party started! (well - Just back from the cruise - Fr Lauderdale, Day at Sea to San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua & Tortola then 2 more days at sea back to FLL - I'm so dark US Customs asked if i was a US Citizen when I got off the ship ha, needless to say the weather was perfect! - After all the anticipation we finally arrived for embarkation at 11am - everything went very smooth. Once on the ship, we went through the registration for using our CCard for the adventure and costs incurred while on the ship - best way we find. We opted to forego the automatic tipping charge Carnival tacks on to your account and pay each individual, some more than what what was recommended - but none less than suggested.
We met w/ other cruise critic memebers whom we met online at the Meet n' Greet as pre-scheduled via Roll Call- all went well - Day at Sea was awesome - relaxing - party time began. We chose this itinerary for the 3 days at sea - more relaxing we find.
San Juan (been there, done that so even though we were there at night - didn't do much - walked around then back to ship. Could have stayed on the ship to be honest but if you haven't been - check it out and go with others while walking around - always a rule for me when in a different country.
