embarkation is more efficient now than pre covid. works great if you show up at your scheduled check in time. sit there and wait for your zone to be called. I've never had to deal with lines, however, lines are a part of cruising. in rcl we didn't board until 1pm and waited forever in lines, debarking we couldn't get off until almost noon

We haven’t been on Carnival for about 5 years. Have cruised others. I can’t believe They have not straightened out their embarkation. Other cruise lines are so organized. Was considering the Magic I’m April but after reading these I’m having second thoughts…

Thanks for your review. Sounds like the food quality and long lines were dissapointing.

Hmmm…cruising right when a lot of schools let out for summer might explain some of the embarkation and debarkation issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️ But, thanks for your review.
