Carnival Freedom Review

Additional details
We just completed the 6 day Western Caribbean cruise on the Freedom. In a word, it was Fantastic! We were about to give up on Carnival but this cruise brought Carnival back up on our list. From embarkation to disembarking, everything went great!
We flew in on 9/4 and had a room at the Best Western cruiseport at the airport. Nice room and it was just a place to sleep. The had a continental breakfast and it was a 1 block walk to Winn_Dixie to stock up on last minute pre-cruise needs. The shuttle to the ship the next morning started at 10AM and the line formed early. It did go smoothly and we were at the pier by 10:30. We had VIP check-in and went right through and only waited about 20 min before we were on the ship.
We had received a call several days before our cruise to solicit us to upgrade our cabin. We took the offer and went from 6B to OS. The suite was very nice. It was considerably larger, had plenty of storage and it had a tub which made DW quite happy. Other than VIP embarkation we did not notice and additional "perks" with the suite. That didn't really matter since I was out quite a bit and DW loved the balcony.
Cabin Review
Ocean Suite
OS cabin 7273 was a beautiful room. There was the bed and couch area that were spacious. Lost of closet space. The room has a larger flat screen TV. The bathroom was large and has a nice jacuzzi tum with actual glass shower doors on the tub. There is a separate vanity area next to the bathroom. the balcony was nice and had 3 chairs and a table. Being on deck 7 meant cabins above and below and the room was very quiet.
