We chose Carnival because we had sailed with them before. We were on the Carnival Freedom. We drove to Galveston and parked at the terminal. Be sure to prepay on line, you can save $5.00. We were on board by 1pm. Our ocean view room was even ready. We were served lunch on the Lido deck. We didn't get our luggage till later in the evening, which was fine since we didn't plan on changing clothes. I ...
I had a wonderful time. i was in cabin 7266 and Brian took really great care of us and saw to any need we had. I had some really great waiters in the Posh Dinning Room,Denzel,Darwin and Sop(sorry I did not write down the names) They were the best waiters they were john on the spot to help and see to our needs. Everyone was wonderful.
I enjoyed the shows and playing bingo.I wish I could just ...
We haven't been on Carnival in over 10 years, we used to cruise a lot before we had kids so we waited until they were old enough to enjoy themselves. Our oldest is 11 and the youngest is 6 and this was his first cruise. I will start off with it was a piece of cake to get on the ship which only took about 15 minutes. This trip I spent the $ and got into a suite because I knew a regular balcony ...
This was my first cruise and it was so wonderful. I was sad to see it end and hated leaving the ship for the last time. We had a balcony room on deck 7 in the aft. The room was pretty roomy and the balcony was perfect. Embarkation was a little different as we had to turn around due to a passenger having a medical emergency,(we were met at the dock by an ambulance) but we understood and hoped that ...

We sailed with a party of 39 people, this is my 7th cruise on Carnival, my third out of Galveston. This was by far the best cruise I have ever been on. That is including the Royal Caribbean cruises I have sailed. The food was delicious. I never ordered from the extended menu at the dining room but my husband ordered Lobster twice and he loved it. We ate in the dining room six ...
My husband and I are veteran cruisers - 10 plus over the last 20 years on other cruise lines with other adults, but never in the summer when school was out, so the heat and children were new to us. Our expectations were not real high but we were a group of 20 plus and family of all ages ranging from mid sixties to under 2, so we boarded with a good attitude and were determined to have a good ...
I chose this cruise because the dates matched when we could travel. This cruise exceeded my expectations in most areas.
Food: The food was exceptional. We did the Chef's Table experience, and it was truly memorable. We enjoyed meeting Chef Panda and Sous Chef Rebel. The kitchen tour showed how hard the Carnival staff works to make your dining experience the best possible.The dining room staff ...
The itinerary for this cruise was Key West/Freeport/Nassau out of Galveston on the Carnival Freedom. This was my fifth cruise with Carnival but the first on this boat and with this itinerary. My GF cruises a lot more than I do (she attained Platinum status on this cruise) and she had done this itinerary before but not on the Freedom.
Cabin
We were in cabin 7439 which was at the back of ...
Only problem we had was getting booked for late dining which we didn't do - too late.
All other aspects were wonderful. Great excursions, great ports, had a great time.
We went into Key West, Freeport and Nassau and did excursions at Freeport and Nassau.
In Key West we did a hop and ride which worked out well for us. Visited with Jacques for a haircut in the spa and enjoyed different ...
The dining room food and service were excellent. Putja and Marija were great servers. The buffet was very average. Guys Burgers was very good. Entertainment was very average. The excellence of the main dining room and casino earned the 4 stars.
We were surprised that the dining room quality exceeded our NCL , and Royal Carribean cruises. So do not eat at the buffet unless you miss your ...
