We just returned from a 12-night Med cruise on the Carnival Freedom. The reason we chose this ship was the itinerary. It was the only ship that spent an overnight in Venice. The price was also the most attractive of all the 12-night Med cruises that we had checked.

Our air arrangements were done independently since we had considerable air miles that we could use. We flew Delta from Miami via Atlanta to Rome. Once we arrived at FCO Rome Cabs was waiting to transport us to our hotel. We again were fortunate to have Starwood points so we had booked a two-night stay at the Rome Excelsior Hotel on Via Veneto. The stay at the hotel was the highlight of our vacation. The room that we had assigned was beautiful! The hotel was built in 1903 and is considered one of the grandest hotels in Rome. In fact, the hotel was voted one of the top 100 hotels in Europe by Conde Nast Traveler. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the Via Veneto. The accommodations were first rate and so was the service.

After our three-day stay in Rome we were picked up by Rome Cabs and were taken to Civitavecchia. Once we arrived at the terminal we breezed through the check in process and were onboard the Freedom in a matter of minutes. As stated in other reviews the terminal area is functional.
