Let me start by saying this was my second Carnival Cruise and the second time I cruised out of Galveston. My first was on the Celebration in 2003 with DW. This cruise we had 6 other family members with us.
Embarkation: Well what can you say. The last cruisers did not get on the ship until 5:15. Yes a whole 1 hour and 15 minutes after the ship was to set sail.
The first two days at sea were typical fun and games and the Mardi Gras Deck Party was really neat alot of people participated.
