Review summary
Well, we boarded, has some drinks, ate at main dining, had some more drinks and went to bed. We woke up at 5 am to our hallway filled with smoke. The ship was dead. No electricity. Little to no working toilets. The crew tackled the task at hand. All food was served on lido. At one point I saw the crew humping a person in a wheelchair up the stairwell. The entire time the ship was adrift, the crew made sure everyone had everything they needed. Of course, as with anything, there were a lot of cry-babies that thought it was the end of the world (they obviously hadn't spent any time on an aircraft carrier). Was it the cruise we expected? No. Was it the worst experience I've ever had? Not even close. Carnival handled it well and was more than fair to the guests.Embarkation
