Cruise Review for the Carnival Freedom Sailing of 08-25-2012. First of all, I would like to express my hope that everybody who sailed for this 8 day trip enjoyed themselves and arrived home safely. Secondly, I want to express that this the opinion of our family of 6 people in total- occupying 2 cabins. Background: We have been as a family on only 9 cruises in total- including Two Princess Cruises, four Carnival Cruise Lines (all have been wonderful except the Freedom), and three Royal Caribbean cruises.

Sorry to express negativity from this honest review, but this was by far the worst cruise that my family and I have ever been on! From the rudeness of the pursers desk personal, to unorganized structure of the excursion desk when it came to problems, the cold powered eggs served at the buffet, and the lack of welcome by the general staff on board. It seemed almost like we intruding on the staff of the Freedom by just being there and cruising with them?

This my have been the Carnival staff's 23rd or so cruise for the year, but to many people, this representatives their once in a year vacation. This is the first cruise of the year for the majority of the people on board, and the staff treated some people like they numbers-NOT as the Customers that they were!!!Remember, without customers-Carnival Cruise Lines would be just rusting hulls of steel on the water they sail on. Fortunately there is choice out there for the customer- and many people are fighting for our our travel dollar! Unless the customer stands up to be treated as the customer that he/she is, Mega Cruise lines like Carnival will treat their travelers as just numbers with open pocket books of money! Read more
