Carnival Freedom Cruise Reviews

All the services that we received was awesome from the cooks, servers, housekeepers, and even the people that checked us in for the cruise. But I would like to thank four people who went above and beyond Maaressi, Vijay, Sahip, and Ketut these guys were amazing and hope to sail with them again. Next time i cruise I will ask if they are on my cruise ship. Great cruise and great people. Every ...

my brother booked. This cruise was a guys only retirement gift for both of us. I would never have booked carnival, but my brother was platinum status so I let him go ahead with it. buffet food was somewhere between prison, food and high school cafeteria quality. The buffet was terrible and the only option for lunch. They had some food court type kiosk, but the wait was unbearable. The main dining ...

My wife and I have been cruising for about 15-16yrs now and have taken at least 13-14 cruises. We’ve been mostly on the NCL, Royal and Disney lines with many amazing and fun memories. We booked this cruise in 2019 before the pandemic made a mess of everything. We were given a deadline to take the cruise in order to take advantage of the cabin credits and to avoid losing our paid fair. So we ...

I have never written a review about anything. But I chose this cruise because I read a lot of reviews and felt like I needed to mention things that I had not seen on previous reviews The food and meal staff were amazing Now, for the negative, pretty much everything else. This ship is extremely outdated, had very strong odors, which smelt like sewer. You have a total of two outlets in your ...

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) ...

While the initial check-in process was smooth, we then had to sit in a large room with hundreds of other people for over a half hour until we could board. The Boat layout is extremely confusing and you have to go to other floors to get around to your final destination. We got lost 3 times before we found the Habana bar. The boat stinks of sewage A LOT. And not in only one location but everywhere. ...

I must say that this cruise will be one of my favorite trips that I have taken. A special thanks to our stateroom attendant Hendra. For making our stay so comfortable. The Sous Chev Dabashish and his assistant Devon went above and beyond to elevate our palates. For anyone that is reading this that's hesitant about signing up for the Chef’s Table experience. Please dont be. It was absolutely ...

Needed a short getaway close by. I had read the reviews and was expecting a hassle but the whole affair was a surprising delight. Everything was just fine, from embarking to debarking. The cabin was clean, everything worked. The crew were friendly and working hard. The food wasn’t 5 star but it was good enough! Drink package was worth it for us. Casino paid out a win. The itinerary wasn’t ...

Chose Carnival because our 30 year old son with special needs loves the nightlife. Have done several Carnival cruises because of that, and dozens of cruises on other lines, but first time on Freedom. I’m writing this review here because we never got our survey from Carnival, even after asking their Guest Services for it (not good). Our room, a rear balcony on deck 6, was nice. “I Made” was a ...

I have to start off by saying that a few weeks before our cruise I was ready to cancel the whole trip based solely off reviews I'd read on Tripadvisor and Cruise Critic. The Freedom holds over 3,000 people, it leaves on 4 and 5 day cruises every week. Keeping that in mind you can only find a handful of reviews regarding the Freedom and most are negative. While you are always going to have a ...
