My wife and I decided to book a Carnival Cruise because they advertise themselves as the fun ship and we wanted to expose our 15 year old son and his friend to cruising. We ourselves have sailed together 4 times, once with RCL and Celebrity, and twice with Holland America. We booked the 4 day western Caribbean cruise on the Fascination out of Miami because we wanted to take the boys to Cozumel.
We drove from South Carolina to Miami over two days. My first tip to anyone driving to Port Miami is to gas up your car in Fort Lauderdale before arriving at Miami. I-95 into Miami is a nightmare to drive. There are a lot of exits with no entrances back onto the highway. Most of the exits dump you into the ghettos. When you exit to get to the port you have to drive through some very rough parts of town to get to the docks so gassing up will save you a lot of grief. We paid $48 to park in the parking garage which was not too bad. The garage is in close proximity to the ship.
Looks like we need a 3rd shift mod for Spam cleanup. At least one or two attack every night lately.
