My wife chose this cruise for her 50th birthday. It was fun and we missed half moon cay due too the weather and that was a bummer so we spent more time in Grand Turk which was fun. They had a lot of shows and various activities onboard for adults and small children but on the down side there wasn't much for teenagers to do and the Internet was blotchy and the whole ships cruiser's had motion ...

1st we had a famtastic time however there were a few things that we did not like. I called to book the drink package and was told to call back. When I called back was told the package had gone up $10 per person per day. Hard pill to swallow. With only 15 drinks per day. Sounds like a lot but with 3 at sea days it really is not. Also we selected any time dining. Will not do that again as it really ...

We went on the last Freedom cruise before her dry dock in Barcelona to get her fins fixed. We had a great cruise. The boat is a bit older, very similar to the Liberty (almost identical) but very easy to navigate, in great shape, great staff and a clean ship. The atrium always had good music and events. The musicians were excellent with a great selection of music. The cruise director, Andy, was my ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I chose this cruise because of pricing, amount of days traveled and destinations. It was a five day cruise. Three days on the sea and two days spent at the destinations (one day at each destination). Embarking was better than debarking. The television show choices need an immediate upgrade. The movie channels (two or three) were subpar. I understand having channels to promote the cruise ...

After reading other reviews, I was so anxious and worried about the cruise we had booked on the Freedom. We've sailed with carnival multiple other times so we had an idea of what to expect, but with tales of poor room conditions, understaffing, bad smells, over crowding, etc, I was very concerned. Our cruise was wonderful. The ship was clean and well kept. Our room (inside cabin on first deck) ...

We booked this cruise for our 20th anniversary. We originally had an Ocean View cabin reserved, but a couple months before embarkation, decided to get a Balcony on Lido instead. The process to change rooms was easy, but required a phone call. The cabin was fresh and clean, if not a touch dated. There were a few patches of rust visible out on the balcony, understandable for a 16 year old ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was the first cruise I've ever taken. There was a lot of swaying on this sailing, but I heard there was a small casino ship that wasn't able to sail due to the choppy waters. If I stood for a couple of hours, my back would begin to hurt & would just need to sit or lay down. I asked experience cruisers, and they said that amount of swaying wasn't normal. Before my cruise, I read about some ...

We have cruised several times, both Carnival and Royal.....this cruise was selected based on the date of sailing, the cost and the ports. Overall we enjoyed the Carnival Freedom and would cruise on this ship again. The décor is a little outdated ( browns and oranges) but the service, overall ambiance and cleanliness met / exceeded out expectations. We had a port side balcony room- the room was a ...

We chose the Dec 1 cruise out of Port Canaveral because we planned to be in Orlando from Dec 5-8 and the cruise returned on the 5th. It had been 20 years since our last cruise. Our embarkation was speedy with the help of Carnival. I had requested a wheelchair assist. The Carnival representative who assisted was wonderful! As were the staff screening passports and taking photos for security. Once ...
