We've traveled on Carnival once before (4 Night on Carnival Sensation) and were left a bit cold to returning for another cruise. Our close friends love Carnival and we had the chance to try again on this cruise on the Carnival Freedom (newer/bigger and better itinerary). We had a beautiful suite (7315) and it was beyond great! Our cabin steward - Romano - was always there and everything was impeccable. He couldn't have been more friendly and there was never anything out of place. The ship was full occupancy and you never felt crowded. The food was always very, very good and the Burger Joint was one of our favorite places. The shows were outstanding, with 88 Keys topping the list of standouts. Danny (Ledinsky) was an amazing performer and we'd love to see him perform again. Also, Frankie G (from Tennessee) was one of the best piano bar entertainer we've seen in quite a long time. He was hilarious and quite an amazing player, we loved singing and having fun in Scott's Piano Bar. Don't miss either of these performers if you get a chance to see them - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED! With all these kudos - I can't really think of any negatives to say. The crew we interacted with knew our names - Irine at Viennese Café always (without fail) knew my name and order and greeted me with a wonderful smile and laugh each morning. Carnival you have made us a repeat customer and we look forward to sailing with you on Carnival Breeze in February. Don't hesitate - go on a cruise with Carnival - you'll never want to come home.
