Creator's Key Takeaways

We chose the Carnival Radiance because this just fit really well with our work calendar and we also have two of our kids with us this trip.

We've never stayed in an interior room before. We've either done a balcony or an ocean view.

The sail away party is almost the indication to let you know how fun it's going to be.

Always do your muster station as quickly as possible. That way we can get all the dos and the don'ts out of the way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the porters for luggage handling and tip them well.
Do your muster station as quickly as possible after boarding.
Consider priority boarding to access your room early and drop off bags.
Be patient with dining service on the first night.
