Creator's Key Takeaways
Boarding was unbelievably fast — no lines, no waiting, just straight onto the ship!
We had 11 sea days during this cruise. Um, we only had three port stops and we did do a full Panama Canal transit.
I say for one of the first Spear class ships, she's in really good shape.
It's the fastest on the ship. I mean, they've been pretty good the past few cruises we've been on.

Our 16‑day Panama Canal adventure aboard the Carnival Spirit begins! Embarkation Day is always exciting, but this one surprised us in the best possible ways — from a smooth boarding process to exploring our home for the next two weeks. We start the day in Seattle after a night at the DoubleTree, grab breakfast, and take our first‑ever Tesla rideshare to the cruise terminal. Boarding was unbelievably fast — no lines, no waiting, just straight onto the ship! Once onboard, we explore the Carnival Spirit’s decks, check out the Halloween decorations, grab our traditional first‑day treats on Lido, and take you along for a full balcony cabin tour. From the updated décor to the balcony views, we’re already settling in. As the ship sails away from Seattle, we enjoy the sailaway party, wander the decks, and wrap up the evening with dinner before crashing early (East Coast time hits hard!). We’re so excited to bring you along for all 16 days of this journey — sea days, port days, the Panama Canal, and everything in between. Thanks for joining us!
