Carnival Freedom Review

Additional details
My wife, daughter and I took the 8 day Carnival cruise out of Fort Lauderdale departing Feb 13, 2010.
We had a cat 12 cabin as we really enjoy the extra space. We find that we do spend a lot of time in our room, contrary to popular belief.
Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived at the pier at approx 11:00am. We went to VIP check in and there was no line at all. A very courteous woman checked us in and asked us to wait a few minutes. Within 10 minutes we were escorted onto the ship and asked to go and have lunch on the Lido deck. That is exactly what we did and the food was excellent.
Cabin Review
Our cabin was #7289, It was large, comfortable, tons of closet space, the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub and shower, two sinks and a bidet. The balcony was double sized with 4 chairs and two small tables. The tv was central in the room so the people sitting or sleeping on the couch/bed could watch while the people in the bed were sleeping or visa versa. There were also two chairs so all could watch tv together. There were plenty of electrical outlets especially in the dressing room vanity area. The room was only short distance from the elevators, and was very quiet, not a lot of foot traffic. There was a minibar.
