Creator's Key Takeaways

We're about to get on Carnival Encounter for an 80s cruise.

I already feel relaxed.

That was a bit of fun. It was packed.

Dinner was lovely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the $40 embarkation day dining credit at Luke's for great value.
Be prepared for self-service in the Pantry/Lido Marketplace and maintain hygiene.
If your bag doesn't arrive, check Deck 4 Forward Security.
