(NC)-Imagine the fantasy of your “floating hotel” calling into port to show you so many of civilization’s most prized antiquities. Take a look at the 12-day itinerary of the grand Carnival Freedom, the newest ship in the Carnival Cruise Line (CCL) roster. Freedom is a whopping 110,000-ton vessel featuring balconies on 60 percent of it’s ocean view staterooms. CCL makes luxury cruising more affordable and yet, this line ensures that every family member takes home a custom-made memory of his or her own. You will get the chance to visit Athens, Rhodes, Naples, Ephesus, Istanbul, and Rome and more. On board, there are 22 lounges and bars, an Internet caf�, a 13,300-square-foot spa with outdoor jogging track, and four swimming pools, one with a 214-foot-long water slide. Dining choices include two-level formal restaurants with extensive menus and wine lists, a 1,400-seat casual poolside eatery featuring a 24-hour pizzeria, and a reservations-only supper club for intimate fine dining. Teens have their own fully supervised, state-of-the art clubs, and so do younger kids. It’s no wonder that cruise passengers, no matter where they are on shore, are always excited to get back on the ship.
