Well after a not too interesting flight, where we were allowed the honor of buying movies for 6$ which only worked for the first 30 minutes of the flight, sorry no refunds, we arrive in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Now if you went whole hog on the carnival cruise experience you bought tickets to get to the boat using their travel service. We were smart, actually we thought we were arriving early enough that we had time to see San Juan, not so much. Turns out however that taking a taxi is far cheaper than the carnival bus...
Anyways, once you check in and wander around the enormous boat (we are on victory, carnivals Triumph class ship which is one of their smaller ships at 110,000 tons) trying to orient yourself, find your room and bags and figure out where the free ice cream is, things settles down nicely. Karl, with a K, our cruise director gave us the welcome aboard speech and then opened the casino. Disney has nothing on carnival when it comes to organization, the logistics of feeding, moving and entertaining 3000 people while cruising at 24 miles an hour its amazing.
