Review summary

It was much better than I imagined it would be. Seemed that Carnival got docking priority at every port. No porting at all on trip -walk on and off.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very quick. And the Embarkation cake was delicious .

Ship tip

Sample the embarkation cheesecake when you get on board (only available on first day of your cruise). Sign up immediately for the Behind the Fun” tour once you get on board. Tour is very limited (our boat had a limit of 12 guests).

Should have signed up for the excursion boat to get us closer. Recommend that you opt to do this excursion in case the boat can’t get close because of icebergs!
