I had so much fun on the Freedom. OMG! Sure, it was spring Break and there were a lot of youngsters walking around drunk but hell, that's all part of it right? Not once did I wait in a line more than 4 people deep for the buffets or grills. I found the food to be always hot and well prepared, especially in the MDR. Like the reviewer before me, Piotr (Peter from Poland) was our waiter, he has a great sense of humor. I've had early dining and late dining and find the food hotter and fresher during early dining.

Our oceanview cabin 1249 on the Riviera was such an amazing location. I pat myself on the back for that one. The cabin is forward and very near the tendering so after an exhausting day on shore, I walked one floor up to my room and fell onto the bed. I found it easiest to get to the Lido and upper floors by walking the length of the ship on the Riviera (deck 1) to the back elevator and hitting your destination from there. Otherwise since the galley (kitchen) uses pretty much the midship between floors 4 and 5, you don't find yourself going up 2 floors, walking to the next bank of elevators and riding back down 2 floors.

The ship's decor looked fine to me. I hardly noticed it I was having such an enjoyable time onboard. It's called a Carnival ship, it is not supposed to look like a carnival? Whatever. I have no complaints about how the Freedom looked. Read more
