Day 1: Norfolk Embarkation, Ship Tour, and more Leaving on a cruise from my home port of Norfolk, Virginia has always been something I wanted to do. On top of that I’ve always heard that going on a carnival ship is an experience. Well, I can say we definitely had a memorable experience. Typically, I am loyal to royal, but if I’m going to review cruise ships in the future I need to start looking at other companies.
