Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Sides of the tables in the Lido dining room were not wiped clean. Worst help ever. Real attitude problem. Fruit was not ripe. Greasy potatoes for breakfast...Cold waffles and french toast with very little egg batter on it.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Karaoke sound should be improved. Half of the duo singing at the pool was flat. The piano player in the Piano Bar couldn't sing at all. EEEEK! Couldn't stay to listen to either. Much better entertainment on the previous cruises.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Real attitude on the Lido deck. Nicer in the dining room, but slow, slow, slow. Got luke warm food most of the time.

Biggest waste was the bus tour to Portobello. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Never go there again.

Colon, Panama

5 out of 5
Exciting to see the locks actually working and a huge freighter coming through.

Pros: Nice new friends

Cons: Poor service, and poor quality of food.

Recommends Carnival Freedom? No.
