Why are you in such a hurry? Slow down and relax. So many negative people posting. If you want perfection, you need to cruise the premium lines.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Table cloths on Carnival ships has been a thing of the past for several years; except on some Journeys cruises. If that’s a deal breaker for you, choose a different cruise line.

they don't give you a boarding time. it's a CHECK IN time, when you can check in at the port. boarding time is when customs and the coast guard say it is
