Review summary

Great ports except we were to dock in Juneau. We got stuck on tenders instead. The line to get back was just under 2 hours wait for tenders. They delayed us 3 hours to get off also.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Getting on at the port in San Francisco was fabulous. Very quick process. We were supposed to leave port at 4, sail under the Golden Gate Bridge around 430. People sat in the chilly rain outside expecting us to leave port any minute. After an hour people went in. We left port at 630. Not a word about the delay during or after waiting in port all this extra time. Carnival never said a word about why. They could have made an announcement.
