Freedom PHOTO Trip Review to ARUBA, GRAND TURK, DR, & CURACAO

[Scuba's wife]

Hi,

I noticed on your air boat in the Everglades that you had ear plugs. Did they provide those or did you bring them yourself?

Thanks! Really enjoyed your review as we are doing the same itinerary in June with an 11 year old daughter.

Thank you. The tour provides the earplugs. This is really a great cruise, and I am sure your daughter will think it is amazing!

At work and need to get some done. I'll come back later to finish reading. I've only gotten thru the Dominican Republic tour.

Go ahead and book the cruise during your lunch hour!!!! The Freedom is a great ship. And you cannot beat the value of this itinerary with any other cruiseline.

The next to last stop was at the Lighthouse. I didn’t get a picture of the lighthouse, but managed to catch it in a photo at Arashi Beach. There was a herd of goats that roamed the field next to the lighthouse. Again, the animals intrigued my kids (pun intended).





Our final stop was Arashi Beach. The kids snorkeled some here, but we were really not in the right location to see anything. The water was a nice refreshing end to a hot, dusty, and fun day.











To be continued…

Did you bring your own snorkel gear, or did you rent?

Thanks for posting! Looking forward to Aruba and Curacao on our next cruise.

These new posts reminded me that I wanted to share our Old Time photo. It was advertised in the Funtimes one night that there would be Old Time photos. There was no line when we walked by, so we decided to do it. The kids had so much fun picking out the costumes, and there were probably 20 or more to choose from with varying sizes. My son, who hates getting his photo taken, enjoyed dressing up as a old western bank robber. These photos were the same price as all the other portraits. So, compared to the price of Old Time photos at beach vacation destinations, this was a deal.

We brought our own snorkel gear, but I think they also had some available for free use in one of the Jeeps.

Wonderful review and a others have said your pictures are amazing. I did look on carnivals web site at lunch but it wouldn't let me pick the freedom or the breeze for may or November 2014. I'll keep checking or check another website to see if is available yet.

I look forward to reading your other reviews.
