Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been on Carnival Freedom before I think it was September of 2022 so really excited to see the differences in the ship here

they announced you as the grand prize winner for $100 but because you were not there you cannot claim said prize and they wouldn't let Matt claim it either

I will say that Carnival Carnival as a whole has added a little more seasoning to their meals um everything has a little bit more of a kick than I remember on the paradise

we are going to try out the kids club this time around on this ship we really are trying out the kids club they're open all day tomorrow

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Make sure you can get the life jacket on your little one when you first get on the ship

✓Faster to the fun is not worth it on short 3-4 day cruises unless you have many tender ports

✓Bring cruising ducks to hide and share with other cruisers
