Creator's Key Takeaways

It was another friendly Carnival cruise. Everything I expect Carnival to be. Um, I don't remember one negative interaction with anyone.

I'm just going to say the ship is old. It's old. It is the Destiny. You know, that's what it was built as.

We woken up at 2:30 in the morning by the captain saying that we are experiencing a power outage.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Asphalt Lots for parking in Norfolk; it is organized and efficient.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship layout confusionBe aware that some decks (3 and 4) do not allow front-to-back movement due to galley or comedy club obstructions; use the promenade on deck 5 instead.
