Being over New Year's seemed fun. The Carnival Sensation was the ship. Sailing out of Port Canaveral. Port Canaveral is a 30 minute drive from our home. I dropped off the family at drop off area and went to park the car. It was a short walk back to the terminal. We went through security then up to get our sail & sign cards. Then about five minute wait to get our boarding photo and board the ship. Less than 30 minutes to board. Good to get there early. We were on board by 11:00 AM.
