My mother and I chose this cruise because it was short, cheap, and from a port that is a pretty quick drive from home and a beautiful area.
Embarkation:
We had FTTF and the entire process was quick. Because we were at the terminal prior to it being open for boarding, we did have to wait a short while. One thing that annoyed us was, although we were among the first seated in our FTTF section, we were seated as such to become the last FTTF passengers to board. Not a big deal, and that's not Carnival's fault. Just a little obnoxious.
