This was my 22nd cruise and probably my 10th on Carnival. I booked through their website and received an offer via snail mail and was able to lower my price to about $700 pp for a balcony on Memorial Week.
Getting on the ship was a nightmare. Check in was outside and wrapped around to nearly the Queen Mary. People were still getting off the ship until 12:30pm. We ended up standing in line for quite some time.
Our cabin was amazing!!!! 6231 was a perfect location. Loved the layout of the ship. Most Carnival ships are choppy and this one allows you to walk through each floor. The decor....is a different story.
