Feb 2011 Carnival Freedom;

First just a couple things about us. This is my wife and I third cruise. First one with Hawaii Cruise lines ( now NCL.) The second one was on the Norwegian Star. We had VIP embarkation on this trip. I won't go into that here just to say if you can get that do it. It took us 15 minutes to be on the ship and starting our vacation. We had a Jr. Suite 9206 on the Lido deck this was larger than any room we have had before. And now on with the review:

Ship Shape: the room was taken care of by a very professional staff. They pretty much stayed out of our way and we pretty much stayed out of theirs. They took care of the room when we weren't there. I'm not really sure how they did that. There was always a towel animal and the room was clean clean clean. We had room service and this I would say just barely makes the good category. Very limited menu. The food in general I would put anywhere from mediocre to super. Some of it just was better that other. We had the Mongolian barbeque and man is that good. The pizza in the pizzeria was good, hot and the usual suspects peperoni but also calzones so give it a try. There are always coffee, juices all day long. There is also very good lemonade try that with the ice tea kind of a half and half pretty good. The shows are ok a lot of prancing around in colorful costumes, but enough about me. Good not great. Did not see the comedy shows. The two excursions we went on were the pub crawl in Key West, lots of fun if you're into roaming around Key West kidding around with your shipmates. We liked it, you may not. The sky ride in Jamaica was also very nice I would do that again if I went to Jamaica for vacation. Read more
