Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got off a Carnival Freedom sailing out of Orlando's Port Canaveral with stops in Nassau, Halfoon K, and the still shiny Celebration Key.

I'm the solo cruiser, Wade Heath.

There is nothing better than that classic Carnival energy.

I'd say if you plan to spend most of your time ashore or exploring ship venues, an interior really is just a savvy way to save and still have a comfortable home base.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an interior stateroom to save money if you plan to spend most time ashore or exploring ship venues.
Bring a compact nightlight if you're queasy about total darkness in interior rooms.
Use GoPort for affordable transportation from Orlando International to Port Canaveral.
