Sail Date: Jan 2010

Sailed from Ft. Lauderdale on Jan. 30, 2010 aboard the Freedom. Embarkation was typical, about a one hour ordeal. No snags, staff was efficient.

Weather problems made for a nightmare in getting to Ft. Lauderdale, but our group of 8 made it flying from three different directions. Stayed Friday night at the Renaissance Ft. Lauderdale Marriott. Very Nice. Cute little French pastry shop behind hotel. Pricey, but good.

Economized with an interior cabin on deck 9 this time. Tiny, but sufficient. Our cabin steward, Skinner, was great. Efficient, attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. Only complaint with cabin would be the air conditioning. It was often uncomfortably warm in our cabin. We were all the way aft, so maybe that explains the problem. Friends in other cabins seemed fine.

Cabin Review

Small, but adequate. Good storage, better than usual shower. Comfortable bed. Inadequate air conditioning. Near an exit to a small deck overlooking the ship's bow.
