Review summary

I was on the Carnival ship "Freedom", we went through Key West, Grand Cayman Islands, and Ocho Rios Jamaica. If you like to shop then you will have a great time in Key West and Grand Caymen Islands, there was nothing else to do. We had a riot in Jamaica, there was not enough time to see all that we wanted to, the people were very friendly there. The cruise ship Freedom, had a lot of great staff from the room stewards to the formal dining area but the buffet left a lot to be desired, food that was supposed to be hot was cold (and in a lot of situations not cooked thoroughly), and food that was supposed to be cold was warm, by the end of the cruise they were running out of stuff in the buffet area. Overall, I would give this cruise a "D".

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Formal dining area had some fantastic food, stuff you would find in a 5 star restaurant, the buffet left a lot to be desired, food was not totally cooked (breakfast foods), they ran out of items by the end of the cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
great shows, but would not recommend going to the adult comedy show if you do not want to hear a lot of profanity.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
most were great, there were a few that acted like we were an inconvenience.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and room stewards did an excellant job.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
fantastic

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
didn't have enough time to get to everything I wanted to do like the white water rafting. The only thing I did not like about Jamaica is when you get off the ship you are hounded by taxi drivers trying to get your business and do not like to hear no.
Don't Miss: everything

Key West, Florida

1 out of 5
great for shopping, not much else to see

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
great commercialized port with lots of shopping

Pros: Jamaica

Cons: Key West, Grand Cayman, buffet food

Recommends Carnival Freedom? No.
