I am glad you enjoyed a fun first cruise experience on the Carnival Freedom. On our first couple of cruises it seemed like right when we got a good feel of how to get around on the ship the cruise was almost over. Just book more cruises and enjoy the learning experience. There are also many videos on YouTube that can give you a great idea of what to expect. We didn’t have the YouTube option when we started cruising. Welcome to cruising and thank you for taking the time to share your review. 😎🚢☀️🩴🏝🪸🐠🌺

Nice review. The more you cruise on different class ships, the easier it is to find your way around. And yes, research all you can prior to cruise.

Glad you enjoyed it. There are lots of websites and videos online that are great for researching ships and ports prior to sailing. Knowing what to expect can make for a much better experience.
