Review summary
This was our fourth cruise and, since we love Carnival, we decided to book our wedding. Our experiences at the port were by far the worst we have experienced: a lot of mixed messages from the staff (including traffic officers, porters, security checkpoints, etc.), and this is considering we were VIPs for this cruise. Once we were in full care of Carnival staff, things completely changed. Ship was amazing, ceremony went smoothly and reception was flawless. The destinations (Grand Turk, La Romana, Aruba, and Curaçao) were fantastic and the days at sea were very entertaining. Everything was fine until we got back to Port Everglades again. Lines were extremely long to go through homeland security--and this is considering we were GROUP 1!!!
