We were on an 8 day western Caribbean on the Carnival Freedom. We we're on the Glory 2 years ago and had a good idea of how the ship was set up.

We arrived in Fort Lauderdale on 4/9 and spent the night at the Renaissance at the Port. The hotel was clean and comfortable, the staff was pleasant. The room was missing a coffee pot part, the safe and iron didn't work. Minor things but not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel, enough said.

Went to the port at 12:00 noon. There were 8 cruise ships in port including the Oasis of the Seas, a really impressive sight. Check in of luggage was efficient. Went inside to a quick moving line. Check in was quick and painless. It took maybe 20 minutes from dropping off the luggage until we we're aboard. We went to the Lido deck buffet for lunch. It was crowded but that is expected on sailing day. We ate at the fish and chips and it was OK. The rooms were available at 1:30pm. We were in a cat 8C balcony on the 7th (Empress) deck. The room was Carnival, nothing exceptional but more than adequate. The bed was quite comfortable and everything worked. We met our cabin steward and he was like I have always had with Carnival, pleasant, rarely seen and had radar for when we were out of the room. He was in and out right now. I rate the room cleaning service as excellent.
