You'll never look at one the same again 😆 11 minutes ago, pcvtmom said: I've really enjoyed sharing your travels! I'll look forward to your next trip report. I'm a Carnival fan, but now you have me checking out Cunard, as well. Have a safe trip home. Very different experience but if you go in with that knowledge I think you will have a great time. Very nice cruise line! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to hear a follow up from you if you have "sea legs" now that you are back on land and having been on a ship for so long. I was thinking about that too last night. Especially as rocky as the last few days have been 😆 2 minutes ago, princess76021 said: Thank you so much for this cruise I really enjoyed it!! Anxiously awaiting "our" next one!!

Do you remember how to drive? 5 hours ago, jam19872016 said: I think the issue is the huge increase in demand when a ship arrives. Hopefully this port would be set up for it, but you would think Miami would and it's a nightmare. I never knew how to drive, but the state of Florida signed off on it anyway 😆 Curious how this went for you. We have a regular driver we call to drop us off or pick us up at the port. When he's not available to pick us up, we just grab a taxi when we get off the ship - and the rates have been very similar but we are super close to the port. I still have several pages to go back and catch up on but just wanted to say thank you for posting your live review - I've really enjoyed following along! I woke up around 4:40 this morning (not on purpose) and saw the Freedom with her lovely new tail just about to enter the channel to the port. Watching the cruise ships come in while I'm still in bed is a sight that never gets old! 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's not available to pick us up, we just grab a taxi when we get off the ship - and the rates have been very similar but we are super close to the port. a couple of months ago my daughter and her friends were on their way to the Miami cruise port (from Orlando) when their car broke down about 45 minutes away... they called an UBER and the driver understood her assignment! LOL the driver bobbed & weaved their way through the traffic, exceeded the speed limit and got them to the port with LITERALLY minutes to spare. They were rushing to the terminal just as the doors were closing... that UBER driver saved the day and got a very VERY generous tip for their dedication to getting there. I would say that the UBER drivers (at least that one!) do a good job! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted November 6, 2023 #3585 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Good Morning -- I have truly been enjoying your review(s) sporadically, as a binge reader... I started when you were @ 70 pages or so - I am now on page 87 (your final day on QE) & you are currently up to 143. Looks like I need to find time to binge a "few" more pages - hoping to catch up b/4 your cruise home is over 😎 Your review has been Fantabulous & love you & Mom can transition from Carnival to Cunard so seamlessly... Your enjoyment of cruising & these cruises specifically shines through! Cheers - Von 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank12 Posted November 7, 2023 #3599 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Thoroughly enjoyed following along with you. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us. We've sailed on Freedom 4 times ( twice with that hideous, deformed funnel). Glad to see her back in shape! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
