YouTube Video Description

After nearly a year and a half since its last sailing, Carnival made its first return cruise since 2020 -- and I was onboard to experience the whole thing. The good news for people that love to cruise is that the experience on the trip was very similar to how it was before the pause. However, there were a number of changes that you should know about before you set sail. Want to read our daily live-blog about the sailing?
