Anybody know what's going on with Freedom?

[kruzerci]

Is something wrong? Shes still right outside our hotel room and she hasn't moved. I thought she was supposed to sail at 4PM. Hope nothing is wrong.

[Lisa0719]

I've been watching the webcam and see she is still in port. I was wondering the same thing.

[KPfromCT]

Looks like she's moving now!:D

yep, added i think 2.0 plus suess at sea

[SMSACE6]

Yes she was just in for two weeks dry dock to get the 2.0 upgrades of Guy Burgers and Blue Iguana, and more.

 

She will also be moving to Galveston in 2015, and will be replaced in Ft Lauderdale by the Conquest.

They sure are!! John is going to be answering a lot of dissatisfied folks.

 

The funny thing to me is all the people complaining seem to have no idea that Carnival is not responsible for the luggage until it is on the ship. Once we give our bags to the porter's they are the ones responsible, so these folks should be complaining about the port workers not Carnival.

 

Clothes can be dry cleaned or laundered. Common sense tells me not to pack medications or electronics in a checked bag, these items should be in your carry on. I feel for them having a bad embarkation experience and hopefully the ship will take care of the people as best they can. If not I bet there will be a lot of folks invoking Carnival 24 hour guarantee!

If you line your suitcase with a garbage bag. Or buy the XX large ziplock bags and pack your clothes in these, you will never have wet clothes delivered to you again. We were in Long Beach a few years back with the same circumstance. Torrential rain. It happen right when the bags were being staged to be loaded onto the ship. A lot of fellow cruisers had the same problem with wet clothes. Our suitcases were soaked, but all clothes were dry.

Excellent idea! I would have never thought to do that, and never have, but now

I know what can happen, so thanks for the tip. I will be sure to do this on my next cruise.

[lady_cruiser]

Thanks for the photos megr1125.

 

And, thanks for the tip Dan Tanner

Not a big waffle eater, unless they have ice cream, fruit, powdered sugar or whipped cream on top, but I'm liking the blue and red in the waffles. What are the colors (what type of food?).

That is why I have a hard cased suitcase, I sometimes fly out of a small airport where you have to walk outside and board the plane via stairs, so luggage goes out too, well I think most airlines your luggage can be exposed to rain while being loaded? Anyway I was dumbfounded when the 2nd layer of clothes were damp but no liquids had leaked, then I realized it was that my luggage had gotten wet but the luggage had dried out and the top layer of clothes...so I switched to a nice hard shell case, which is actually lighter. Not sure how they claim the luggage was "left" outside it's outside on racks until it's load, part of the process....as rain is part of S. FL weather.

I do this regularly for all travels. Had lotion, rubbing alcohol, and fingernail polish remover spill all over my clothes. Put each day's clothes in freezer bag and also keeps me from overpacking.
