Back from the Bahamas
Blog — By Rolando on April 6, 2009 at 7:43 pmHi All,
Sorry I have not responded to your comments. Just got back from the Bahamas and am now finally settling down. We left last Saturday and just got back late last night. Our cruise left port out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. From there we jumped on the Carnival Freedom then island hoped through the Eastern Bahamas.
Carnival Freedom 2009
We stopped at Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Antigua, Tortola, and Nassau, Bahamas. My personal favorite was Tortola just because it seemed less commercialized and more relaxed. The beaches were also crystal clear and the white sands were unforgettable. My least favorite was Nassau just because it was too commercialized. Our tour sucked! We didn’t stop at any beaches.
The cruise itself was very good! This was our second cruise within a 2 year year period so the comparison was easy. Our first cruise was with Princess Golden through the Mexican Riviera. Freedom had slightly better service and the food quality was about the same. However, I did like the 24 hour buffet on the Golden.
The entertainment was also about the same. What we did notice, was that Freedom offered more actvities for kids and there was more of a mixed crowd, i.e. mixed ages and nationalities. The Freedom was definitely geared more for families.
Overall we had a great time and have sunburns to prove it LOL! Thanks for visiting the site while I was gone. I’ll comment back as soon as I can. It’s great to be back!

Finally back online after a week of catching up with work, house work, and garden work woo hoo! had a great time and can’t wait until our next vacation.
@Debo Hobo
Yup we’re back. Cruise is sure is the life. Don’t have too cook, clean, or move bags around. It’s kinda sad to leave, but I guess I have to work hard to take another vacation. We were disappointed in the food. We wanted the local stuff. Every where we went, the served American food. If I wanted that I would have stayed home lol. The cruise ship had the best food I guess especially on their formal nights, but it was nothing to write home about
@shiera
Hey Shiera, you haven’t missed much here. Are you in Japan still?
@Maria
You’re half Puerto Rican? Cool! What’s the other half? With Spring here and Summer around the corner it’s gonna be hard to work and blog. There too much to do outside. Hope you’ve been out this week.
