I would like to say that others have stated the Carnival Freedom is sooo ugly.That is not true. It is the typical style of decor of many other Carnival ships. My family and I thought the ship was attractive.
We had a very nice cruise. However, I have seen over the years that Canival is short changing the customers--cutting corners wherever possible.
For example, the shows are not as elaborate as they used to be. There is no longer a midnight buffet. The visits to the ports are waaay too short!!! What haappend to the long days in some ports where we left late in the evening? I guess Carnival wants to keep the guests on board to spend more money on the ship. Beacause of these very short days my family refused to spend any money on the ship in protest.
My daughters were in cabin 6378. Inside stateroom on Upper deck. They were very unhappy with the noise level. They were over a night club and could here every song, bass, etc. -- all the noise from the nightclub affected their sleeping. They complained to the Purser's Desk.
