Carnival Cruise Line is using a temporary terminal in Fort Lauderdale while theirs undergoes renovation. I believe our cruise, Freedom- July 24-30, was the first ship to depart using this facility. We arrived at approx. 1 PM and waited over 2 hours in line to process. Much of the line was outside in the hot sun and water containers were not refilled when emptied. Once inside, there was very little organization and it was very slow.

Once aboard, many passengers were still attempting to eat lunch and the ship held the fire drill anyway. This should have been delayed since the late boarding was Carnival's fault.

Our server in the Posh Dining Room, early dinner, was superb. Andre was professional, courteous, patient, and accommodating. He was the bright spot in the entire cruise. The food in the dining room was average, not near as good as a CCL cruise last year on a different ship.
