&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Considering a trans-Atlantic on the Freedom or Splendor this coming October or November.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Do you know what type of weather we can expect…I looked at the stats and I know it will be cool, but can we expect to get some sunbathing days on the TA portion of the voyage or will be be confined to the closed &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;decks? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Great sailing…. Gerry (Montréal)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I had posted this message previously, but put it on the Europe board..... I guess that was the wrong place for this and I received no answers.&amp;nbsp; Thanks in advance for any information you can share....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We have a small group (6) booked on the Freedom for the April 26, 2008 sailing from Miami to Rome....&amp;nbsp; Looking for general information regarding this cruise....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Formal nights (number)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Do they have 24 hr food (of any type available)?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;Is coffee available 24/7 (for the VERY EARLY risers.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; Laundry service onboard.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; We have booked this trip with Legendary Journeys and will have a 6 day stay in Tuscany following the cruise....&amp;nbsp; What are the general luggage limitations when flying home?&amp;nbsp; Shipping options for purchased items?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;6.&amp;nbsp; This will be our 4th Carnival cruise, but the first TransAtlantic.&amp;nbsp; My wife is concerned about stability in the open ocean.&amp;nbsp; Comments?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;7.&amp;nbsp; Have arranged category 8A cabins... comments?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;8.&amp;nbsp; Any general information relating to shore excursions (must do/avoid, etc) appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;9.&amp;nbsp; I have seen mention of Wi-FI areas on the ship.... what is the cost of this service?&amp;nbsp; It is getting hard to be away from email for any length of time these days &amp;lt;grin&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;10.&amp;nbsp; Any other comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I will be sailing alone and I am looking forward to a lot of private time to relax, read, roam, and&amp;nbsp;exercise.However, I'll&amp;nbsp;get bored on a 14 day Cruise and would appriciate spending small periods of time interacting and connecting with&amp;nbsp;a few "like-minded" souls. I have been divorced for over 10 years and&amp;nbsp; have two adult sons. I am a retired High School Art Teacher, and have traveled the world extensively. Hope to hear from some of you before the Transatlantic Cruise departing Rome on October 28, 2007.&lt;/P&gt;
