Review summary

We really enjoyed the cruise with the exception of the embarkation process. The worst boarding experience we have encountered in over 10 cruises. Carnival really needs to work on their check-in process! The rest of the cruise was very enjoyable, with good service and great food.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The worst - we were in line for nearly 2 hours.

We enjoyed the putt putt golf and ping pong. The pools were always too crowded.

Went to the final night Rock Show and while the performance itself was good, it was way too loud.

Majority were very friendly and helpful.

Embarkation was rough but debarkation was horrible for me. Were you on the cruise 10/28 cruise?

Embarktation is really a hit or miss. Also depends on what time.

We learned on our first cruise, using a porter when leaving the ship is faster through customs because they have their own line.
