Embarkation: We were disappointed when we didn't get FTTF, but it turned out we didn't need it. Got to the port at our staggered time 11:00 am and were on board by 12:00 and our room was ready and our luggage showed up an hour later.
Room: We had an interior (5218) in the Havana area. Ernesto our room steward took care of every need. No we could not hear the bands playing at night in our room.
The whole Havana experience made this cruise worth it, otherwise it was a typical Carnival cruise.
