Having just completed a Mediterranean cruise, I did a bit of daydreaming as I saw this story and photo, by Jennifer Grech of the Times of Malta, telling of the newest Carnival Ship, “Freedom”, with St. Mark’s Square in the background.
There is a “reasonable possibility” that Carnival Freedom, the biggest North American cruise liner operating in Europe, will start calling at Malta.
The official naming of the 110,000-tonne vessel took place in Venice yesterday, presided over by “godmother” Kathy Ireland. Carnival Freedom will sail on her inaugural voyage, a nine-day Mediterranean cruise from Venice, this afternoon. She will then launch a schedule of 12-day Mediterranean and Mediterranean and Greek Isles cruises beginning on March 14.
Okay, I’m ready to book my next cruise!
My husband and I did our first cruise on the inaugural voyage we were really looking forward to it , sadly disappointed didn’t sleep from the continuous banging shuddering vibrating dining room food lovely, staff wonderful kicked off boat 6:15am flight out of Rome @ 13:40, my husband is diabetic couldn’t have breakfast went hypo at airport and surrounded by the rudest americans God blew a breath into. Never again on Carnival
Tracey, Thank you for your comment. Sorry you had a bad experience. I hope you’ll give cruising another chance, perhaps trying another cruise line.
