Just awesome review and photos!!

We have not been on the Magic but did have a room low, all the way in the aft and it vibrated quite a bit and was a bit loud. Some people don't mind it while others enjoy it;) We said we would never do that again!

Went on the Dream in May and got the Deluxe ocean view room that slept 5 ( 5 adults I may add, it was a lot cheaper this way rather save money on the room an have more to spend on other things) I never really felt super cramped in the room either but that's IMO

We have done this before with 2 adults and 3 kids and it was not bad at all. Nice having the 2 bathrooms as well;)

We were on the other side in Spa Balcony 11235 and it was super quiet! It looks like there may be rooms right over yours by the deck plans. I believe the open space is where they have the workout classes (yoga, spinning, ect..).

We just bring a small portable one with us each time;)

We have had two of them and really enjoyed them both times. I would for sure think there would be enough space for 5. The larger bathroom and closets are very nice with extra people.

We love it! The freedom to drop off all your things right away is for sure a plus!!

The wine tasting last month on the Imagination was about $10, lasted an hour and you sampled 5 different wines. It's done by one of the maitre'd's and was a lot of fun.

We did this on the Dream and really enjoyed it! Though I do have to say that Disney did offer many more of these style classes and we really enjoyed them. Hopefully Carnival will add more of them in time.

Our entire bunch enjoys it! Lots of great food.

Awesome review, thanks for sharing!

Maybe everyone got a free cruise. :cool:

That is what I was hoping;)

Haven't been on the Sunshine yet, though have been on the Dream three times and always a great time! Love that ship!

On the Dream, we have had a Cove, Regular and Spa Balconies and the Spa balcony on Panorama Deck was our favorite! Great location to everything and very quiet.

We have been on the Dream many times, GREAT ship you will love! We have had a Cove Balcony, Deluxe Ocean View, Regular Balcony and this past one a Spa Balcony. We actually liked all of them though I do have to say the Spa Balcony on Deck 11 was by far our best! Great location, very quiet and extra perks of the use of the Spa. The Deluxe Ocean View is also nice since it does have the 2 bathrooms. In the Spa Balcony we used the large Spa showers at night for dinner, very nice!

My girls wear a sundress or skirt to dinner on casual nights. You will see a mixture of everything at dinner;)

Yes, with ES you can always upgrade, just not downgrade.

This is what I have always been told as well;)

:( Was looking forward to it like others!

We had a Spa room so ours was included, though I don't know if I would purchase it by itself. Really depends on how much time you plan on spending in the Spa rooms, pool, ect.. We did use it, but not nearly as much as I thought we would. Just a time frame thing with so many other things to do;) We did though take advantage of the large spa locker rooms for the great showers at night/mornings.

We have used it for other Ports and loved it. Though I personally would not purchase it for Charleston. Getting on the ship was very fast and rooms were ready quickly as well.

I have one that I purchased from the Blue Iguana and bring it on every cruise;)

Thank you for the review! Looking forward to the Freedom again this fall!

I would for sure go with Deck 11 with a covered balcony. We had one this past September and LOVED it! In the front of Deck 11 there is a nice spiral staircase and elevator that goes directly up into the Spa.

My husband and myself are both coffee drinkers and we both enjoy it;)

We purchase the Gift Cards now and use them to put on our OBC. I don't like that fact that Cruise Cash is "Use it or lose it"!

Great review so far...thank you! We can't wait to go back on the Freedom this fall!
