This is my first attempt at a cruise review, however, my wife and I are what most would refer to as reasonably experienced cruisers. The subject of this review was our twelfth cruise. We have sailed previously on Norwegian Cruise Lines (3 times), Royal Caribbean (6 times), and this makes three for Carnival. We have sailed out of the ports of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, and Galveston.
The cruise that I am reviewing today is the July 28 to August 5 sailing of the Carnival Freedom out of Ft. Lauderdale. ( Port Everglades ) It was an eight day cruise that called at Grand Turk, La Romana in the Dominican Republic, Aruba, and Curacao.
