We have cruised 9 times with Carnival and NCL on many ships. Freedom is one of my favorite ships for amenities offered, layout, and the Cruise Director and his team. From Guys Burgers and Blue Iguana Cantina to Red Frog Pub, from Camp Ocean to Serenity, this ship has almost everything you want on a cruise ship. Comedy shows are always great. We did have one comedian that we did not enjoy at the adult only shows, but he was hilarious at family friendly comedy...so I won't mention his name. He was funny enough I would go see him again for Family Comedy. We did have one issue in that our shower did not drain very well and water was getting on the bathroom floor...but a comment to the Room Steward had this fixed within a few hours. So overall, the ship seems to be aging a little. She's not brand new. As her crew keeps her up, and with a little feedback from the cruisers like us, I think this ship is in great shape for a long run into the future.
