Details, Details

If you’re thinking ahead to how much money you should put aside to completely enjoy this trip, the cruise price includes: stateroom/suite accommodations, plentiful meals (including 24 hour room service), non-alcoholic beverages, most onboard activities (i.e.: basketball, table tennis), entertainment, access to bars/lounges, port charges, government charges and fees.

Keep in mind that the price does not include gratuities ($10 a day is typical), soda, wine, beer, spirits, casino gambling, video games (tell the kids to bring allowance), shopping, taxis, meals while in a port of call, service fees in optional restaurants, excursions and pre- or post-cruise hotel packages. 

Carnival Freedom is one of 22 Carnival fun ships sailing from several US home ports, so you can also save money by driving rather than flying to your port of embarkation. Rates vary according to season and itinerary. Why Carnival instead of its excellent competitor, Royal Caribbean? The comparable six-day Royal Caribbean cruise from Fort Lauderdale only sails four months of the year and its prices start $200 higher.  Also, during the peak summer season, when Carnival Freedom prices rise (adults pay $679 in June, $719 in July and $469 in August), there are no alternative six-day cruises in this market.
