I believe that this is our 6 or 7th cruise and third with Carnival. Our last cruise was on the magnificent Celebrity Solstice to Alaska, so the Freedom had big shoes to fill.
We are family of 5 with 3 kids ages 14, 10 and 6 and we chose this one since we live in the Pacific NW and having a shortish non stop flight to Houston as opposed to going all the way to MIA or FLL was a big plus for ...
This was my third cruise, and I (39-year-old woman) traveled with my 8-year-old daughter (her first) and my parents who are in their late 60s (their fourth cruise).
My mother has mobility issues and has a scooter, and I have to say that I was very, very impressed with all of the assistance they provided her. Embarkation and debarkation were very fast because we got to go through the special ...
we had 30 people on our cruise, no one complained about anything. we went during spring break so the ship was full with people of all ages you make up your mind if you want to have a good time or complain about the little things, so what they dont have ice in the room anymore room service just a call away so what they clean the room only once or get the same towel animal. the high light of ...
The departure was easy.. I highly suggest to purchase the "Faster to the Fun". You board the ship faster but best of all you are the 3rd group off the ship which was at about 8am on our cruise.
Food...lots to eat..
Breakfast was an omelet, but they had lots to chose from.
Lunch was Guy's hamburgers. Great.. also sandwiches or pizza.
Supper was is the Blush dining room. table 750.

We chose this cruise for the itinerary--three places we wanted to snorkel: Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. We flew to Houston the evening prior, shuttled to Galveston in the morning, checked in. It took from 10:30 to 12:30 to get aboard. The Lido was busy with lunchtime crowds,and we enjoyed the afternoon before changing for dinner. We were seated in a booth with another couple, whose company we ...
Traveling with a mobility handicap is hard at best, but I am so well taken care of, and so at home on Carnival that I will never cruise any other lines.
Last week, 3/18 - 3/25 we were on the Carnival Freedom, and to say that we enjoyed our trip is a GROSS understatement. The CREW all of THEM on the FREEDOM were the kindest and most helpful crew that I have ever dealt with. You should be so ...
Our second cruise on the Freedom in the past 4 years. Everything was great and we had a very good time. Both embarkation and disembarkation were a snap! Lot's of fun at the Piano Bar (good entertainer but not a great singer but still lots of fun). No service or food problems and the weather was great as well as the ports. Only slight disappointment is with the continual changing of liquor ...
We chose this cruise for a spring break family vacation. This was our first family cruise and we (the adults) were very disappointed. We felt that we spent the entire week standing in line. Whether it was waiting for mediocre food, or disembarking at port, the lines were awful. It took us an hour of being squished in a stairwell to exit the boat at each port. The lines were poorly organized and ...
This was a great cruise and pretty calm even with the Spring Break crowd on-board. Food was excellent...love Mongolian Wok! Entertainment was OK but venues were crowded as is usually the case on these larger ships. For those of you considering a Cove Balcony on Deck 2 please be aware that most of these rooms are either under the Theater and Lobby or the Dining Rooms and the Galley. The noise ...
My wife and I chose this trip as a get away for the two of us. It fit our schedule and we had been on one carnival cruise before (Triumph after refurbishment) which we loved.
1. We made on to the ship easy (faster to the fun) we had a deluxe ocean view room (9201). It was rainy the day we got on and our windows were leaking and had left a puddle inside the room. Called down and was told it ...
