Creator's Key Takeaways

We've never been on this particular ship. What we know is it's one of the smaller ships within its fleet.

The check-in process at this particular port was actually quite seamless in our opinion.

It's proof that you don't need a mega ship to have a mega fun vacation.

Overall, Cabin U45 is simple but comfortable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print your luggage tags and have your room number ready for porters.
Use the Carnival Hub app to reserve a table for anytime dining.
Complete your muster station drill as soon as you board to start your vacation.
