Our sailing date was February 23rd - March 1st 2008. 7-day Eastern Caribbean Cruise with stops at Puerto Rico,St. Thomas, and St. Martin.

SOME BACKGROUND ON US: My father (50/s), mother (50's), brother (15) and I (20) traveled onboard the Freedom. This was my parents 7th cruise and my brother and I 6th cruise.We had previously sailed Carnival before and love their ships.(Carnival Victory,Carnival Spirit,Carnival Liberty & Carnival owned Costa Cruise Line-Costa Atlantic, and Costa Mediterranea)All cruises were to the Caribbean. Been to these ports in the past and wanted to revisit them again.

Arrival: We always fly the day of due to our schedules. Living in the northeast(Near Buffalo New York) we had some worries but everything worked out great. We purchased air and airport transfers through Carnival as well as insurance just incase (Highly recommend this)and had gotten to the ship with plenty time to spare. We flew U.S. Airways from Buffalo,NY to Philly then to Miami and took a bus ride with our transfers to the Miami Pier. On the way home we used our transfers from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale Airport and flew to South Carolina back home to Buffalo, NY. We had no delays (THANK-GOD!) and had a pleasant time. Read more
