Review summary

My mother and I were not impressed with the Freedom at all, starting from the moment we walked onto the ship. There was not a single thing that made us feel like we were in a Carnival Cruise. No music playing, nobody dancing, no costumes, nothing. They also had everyone packed into the lobby and auditorium. It was way overcrowded and there were a lot of grumpy people extremely unhappy with this. I would easily say that 75% of the shows were selling something or something that had to be paid for to participate. Not much of anything else to grab attention or interest. Not much happening on the decks either. We expected music, dancing, movie nights, etc, as it has been on previous cruises, but none of that was going on. We had a very strong impression that most of the employees would rather be somewhere else. From the jewelry store gentlemen that put me off when I asked to look at something and kept telling other people “can you deal with this lady”— The waitstaff that basically had a sullen drab look on their faces like they wanted to get the night over with. (By the way, we only utilized the dining room once due to them finding a table and shoving it in a corner and never showing up except to drop off food)— The customer service desk that acted like they should be working at a seedy motel by their inability to solve a problem, pawning it off on others and ending up teller by people “I don’t know”— And the lady in the gift shop that called me a liar when I told her I had just sat something on the counter and asked her to hold it behind the counter because it was the last one. She told me I do not, and when I pointed it out right at her feet, her response was “mam, you are lying, that has been there because I put it there for myself earlier”. A clerk on the opposite side said that she gets a lot of complaints about her. This was just a downer trip for us. The only 2 pleasant people that stood out was our steward and the lady working in the liquor department of the shops. Unfortunately I won’t book on this ship again.
