We drove down from North Florida to Ft. Lauderdale the night before. Stayed at Cambria Suites for a room and parking for 8days for what they charge to leave your vehicle at the port. A very nice place to stay. We were traveling with two children 8yo and 13yo. I do not recommend getting to the port at 2pm or after. If you plan on staying at this hotel be sure you book the shuttle when you make reservations, we were pushing it for time. ( ask for the cruise transport and room special they have)Getting on the ship was no problem other than hot and carrying a 12pk of water and coke per person. It was a handful at the time but well worth the savings when we got on the ship. We have sailed Carnival several times before and always were on the Rivera Deck in the middle of the ship but I let them talk me into moving up to the front of the ship on the Empress deck . Never Again! When the seas are rough you are rocking so badly. My husband, myself and 13yo daughter put the trans derm patch behind our ears. Wish I had done this for my 8yo she was so sick, and so was everyone on the ship from rough seas. That was only the first two nights. Gave her Bonine and a patch and she was better the next day. We were traveling with 21 friends. Some of them were on the Rivera when visiting there room you could tell that the rocking was MUCH LESS ! If you are in doubt about being sick use the patch and get a room middle of the ship on the Riveria deck .

Freedom is an older boat. No complaints other than it was extremely difficult to find your way until the 7th day J. The Big Easy and the Beatles shows are a MUST see! They were extremely breathtaking! A whole lot of talent on this boat. I read reviews from others that said they were no good? It was great! Comedian RJ Mclellan and the Ventriloquist were so FUNNY!!! Even the non R rated version. Food was GREAT!

ST Thomas- did not do any excursions but shops were nice and enjoyed Senior Frogs.
