Carnival Encounter Embarkation Day 19 May 2025 | What Really Happened on Day 1!

Embarkation day aboard Carnival Encounter – and we’re taking you along for the ride! We boarded early, the check-in was smooth and stress-free, but there were a few surprises waiting for us onboard. From a glitch at The Pantry (hello, hungry and confused) to a drinks hiccup thanks to a delayed muster clearance, yep, we’re spilling all the embarkation day tea! This vlog shares our real experience of what worked, what didn’t, and why the full ship muster drill made everything a little interesting. Stick around to the end where we chat about the whole process and what you need to know before your next Carnival cruise.
