We enjoyed the Carnival Freedom. It is a big ship, although we had envy when we saw a bigger Carnival ship in one of the ports which had the water park on top – now that would have been great. We had a few minor problems – the biggest being when the battery died on the swipe card lock on our room so we couldn’t get back in! This took too much mucking around to fix, but otherwise the whole experience on the Carnival Freedom was fantastic.
Miss 3 loved cruising
One of the things I liked most about our Caribbean cruise experience was how happy the staff appeared and how friendly they were. Within a few days, many people seemed to know our names, especially S (not surprising as her red hair got her constant attention, even other guests started remembering us). The service overall was fabulous. We were especially happy with the staff at Camp Carnival. S fell in love with this place (more about Camp Carnival ).
