Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Late returning to Galveston and unable to disembark until 1230 but still had to leave room by 830 and sit in common areas waiting to disembark. Once out of port had to walk to parking instead of using the shuttle because the line was ridiculous with no order and unable to know where the end of the line even was. Complete CHAOS!

Loved the Vista. Won't ever go out of Galveston again. Too many issues with getting to and from the port, fog etc al.

1st Carnival Cruise
