Review summary

Overall cruise was great. Had tons of fun with friends. Only disappointment was the Faster to the Fun.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Had the Faster tobthe Fun pass our appt. time was 11-11:30. We got there at 10:45 went right through the line quickly. Got held up going through security. Half our group got faster to the fun, our half was made to wait because the waiting area was full. Once allowed to go through we went on with other passengers. After finding a carnival employee, they sad they were really sorry, but some people just show up early. She pushed us through and we did get to our room earlier then the rest.

Geoffrey was amazing! He took very good care of us. The food was great. We had entertainment every night. Sam from the Iguana Bar greeted us by name whenever we say him all through the boat.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
I think this was the one thing that bothered me the mist. Everyone recommended the Faster to the Fun. Did NOT work for us here. We were supposed to disembark at 8:00 because of the fog we could not. Not the ships fault at all. Had food and activities which was great. At noon we went to our area, they explained priorit would go first so they could catch flights which we agreed with. Next those who carried all their bags with the pass went next. We were told our bags weren’t out yet, but as soon as they were we would be next because of the Faster to the Fun. Finally at 2:00, we started to disembark. As we were allowed to leave we noticed that the whole ship was embarking. We felt that the staff lied to us, they told us we were the next priority. When we did get to our bags, most of the other baggage areas were empty.
