Creator's Key Takeaways

We were surprised with a 4 Day cruise for our 8th Wedding Anniversary!

This is a great way to park if you don't want to park Carnival it's a little bit cheaper save you some money

The elevators are a mess everybody's trying to squeeze in everybody's trying to make their way somewhere

We usually take the steps but because it wasn't too bad we decided to just wait on the elevators
