Older ship. Been on before. Had only one outlet by desk. But made use of plug behind tv. Ship was clean

Look for plugs behind tv. Also the USB ports on tv will charge.

Shopped and went back on ship. Didn’t care for any excursion or port pool. Enjoyed the pool on the ship with just a handful of others.

Carnival Freedom // New Years 2021 Cruise
Cruise was wonderful as always! Been on 21-22 cruises, so at Platinum Status, but that really meant absolutely nothing. Nothing different than a first time cruiser. Very disappointing.
Wonderful return to cruising
