Review summary
Not sure if we will sail Carnival again or not. We basically did this one for the stops. Will go back to Royal next time. Inly saving grace was the cruise director. Also I do want to applaud him for the absolutely beautiful Military Appreciation he did in our last season day. It was so moving and one if the best things that happened that week.Embarkation

Ship tip
When debarking for shore excursions, don't rush to get off the ship. They only opened in gang plank and were hurding us off like cattle. You were waiting in line a ling time to get off. Also if you are given a free drink card to use in the casino, be prepared, because you can only get those drinks from a waiter that you can never find. And they make those drinks in the back, so they are so watered down when they bring them to you. After my husband was given this they wouldn't even let him buy a drink at the bar if we were in the casino. The card was more of a hassle then a benefit.
