Getting off the ship takes forever!! Our excursion was delayed by 3 hours. I think there could be a better system but that’s not Carnival fault it’s Cuba

Paradise was my first cruise in October and I fell in love, came back and booked my 2nd cruise on the Vista, now if I could just sleep until it’s time to go I’d be happy! 😁 🚢
