Embarkation Day: we had the 12:30-1:00 board time and had also received the delayed boarding email from Carnival. So we taxied over to the port around 1:30 to check in. The line outside was crazy long. Then we heard someone saying "if you have a 12:30 boarding time follow us" Hallelujah!! We walked right up to security & then right up to the check in counter. Then we walked right into the ship! I kid you not...No waiting!!

Our rooms were on Lido port side #9238 & #9242. They were ready so we dumped our carry-ons and headed for the pool area. We had already purchased the Cheers program online before the cruise. This is a must! You don't have to wait in any lines to sign up and you get a slight discount ordering ahead of time.

There weren't a ton of people on board yet so we grabbed a Fun Ship drink and headed to the back for some pizza. Next we grabbed some sun chairs and listened to the DJ while we people watched. The DJ Zen was really great. Reminded me of why I love Carnival. They really are the fun ships!

 

 

 

 

Muster drill is ridiculously long and I don't know why. But we started to leave before it was over and that always stresses me out! We left port around 6pm but hung out on lido for a bit longer to dance and party. We chose anytime dining so no stress for dinner.

I liked anytime dining and we hardly waited any of the 4 nights (except the last because of the waiters singing I think). I did miss getting to know your own wait staff tho. We had the same waiter Johni the last 2 nights and we treated him like he was part of our group! The girls loved him and it made me miss that relationship you have when its your own wait staff every night.

After dinner we went to the welcome aboard show. I loved the CD "Matey" but this show was pretty uneventful. The next 2 shows made up for it but he needs to step up that first night a little. Can't they all just be John Heald?? We then went to the comedy show and he was hilarious. An Hispanic big guy (sorry name?) and his speel was being Mexican so I can say that. He was really good. Stumbled into the piano bar after that and found our favorite place. More on that later but Andy is sooo great!! Love him and dare I say better than Ron Pass? So funny and cool and the girls loved him

 

 

That's all for tonight. Thx for reading!
