I am a Brit so the fact that I was disappointed with the food was down to that a,though some Americans said the same. Aside from that it came up Luke warm in the restaurant. So saying there was more than enough if you liked it! The cabin was lovely but the information announcement did not feed into the cabin. Sometimes it was a good thing but when it was embarkation announcements you couldn't ...

This was my fourth cruise on Carnival and fifth overall; I sailed with my sister, who is retired due to medical issues. We drove down from Atlanta before the cruise and used a "stay-cruise-park free" option at the Quality Inn FLL South in Dania Beach. As promised, parking and the port shuttle were free (BOTH directions) with one night's stay...a great deal! We were both pleased with the ship and ...

Embarkation was quick even though there were long lines. Disembarking was relaxing because they did not force you to leave the ship or your cabins early. To get thru customs took about an hour. The ship is not attractive but was clean. Muster drill is still held on deck. The food was average, nothing to rave about but nothing really bad. We had 3 issues with our cabin and our great steward had ...

Checking in was a breeze.... We are Platinum with Carnival, so no lines. The ship was really nice and the cabin, although interior, was well appointed and had a good flow and quite a bit of closet/drawer space. The ship also had laundry facilities which to me, is a plus. The food was fantastic! Hamburgers on the Lido deck were the best I have had on any ship. The buffet food was good and varied. ...

I wanted to say a few things about our trip on the Freedom. My wife and I drove from NW FL to Ft Lauderdale - 10 hours - the Friday before we sailed. We were gonna be sailing with friends so we followed them down. We stayed at the Fairfield Marriot one night, great room and parking for the trip for only $97. We caught the shuttle to the port the next morning, right to the terminal. Check in was a ...

Ok, so my wife and I booked this cruise in July for our Honeymoon. I was particularly drawn to the fact that I'd never sailed a southern Caribbean yet, the great price, and that the Freedom had recently been refurbished. I'll start by saying that I am not a complainer by any means and recognize how lucky I am just to be on a vacation where I get waited on hand and foot. Embarkation, we arrived at ...

Would like to start off by saying this is my 11th cruise with Carnival and my first time on the Freedom. Will try to be as detailed as possible as even though I have cruised alot I still get a little of useful advise from reviews and forums. Flew in from St.Louis to Fort Lauderdale the day before the cruise. Stayed at Hyatt Pier 66 on 17th St, luckily I won't have to base the whole trip on this ...

This is our 15th cruise on Carnival. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the fact that it left on my birthday. We like the Eastern Caribbean Cruises that usually go to St Maarten, St. Thomas and Nassau but with Grand Turk and St Kitts added instead of Nassau this was a better itinerary. Embarkation went fairly smooth as we are platinum members. We were seated in the lounge but when ...

Another enjoyable CCL cruise!!! BACKGROUND: My wife and I are both retired and “lucky” to be Platinum level. We try to visit at least one new POC on every cruise or at least cruise on a ship that we haven’t been on before. We hadn’t been to St Kitts and never cruised on the Freedom so this was a “two-fer” for us. I’ve given letter grades for each component I reviewed. ARRIVAL + FORT LAUDERDALE: ...

Wife and I just got off the Carnival Freedom eight days Southern Caribbean, to La Romana, Grand Turk, Aruba & Curacao, and here's our observations, while still fresh. Hope you enjoy reading this review as much as we enjoyed our cruise ! This was our 12th cruise, spread between Disney, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean, but mostly on Carnival, so we have a fair amount of experience to make ...
