First cruise was a success! Had a great time on the ship and at the ports. Really no complaints. Weather was extremely HOT but can't blame Carnival for that. Already searching for our next cruise! We purchased
Carnival Freedom Cruise Review to Caribbean - Western
Would recommend this cruise ship and particular itinerary. Would like to do it again as I will be more familiar and know what to expect.. next time we will also do excursions!

We purchased FTTF so not sure if this made it painless! But it was fast. The lines seemed to move really fast all the way around though getting in the ship.inprefer the

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All of the workers were very personable, called us your name, seemed to really enjoy their jobs as well. We were greeted by name from
Our room steward as we entered our rooms! We were amazed as we had not even talked with him yet! Hero did an excellent job!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It was fine. Older ship but that wasn't an issue. Took a minute to finally learn to navigate floors and elevators
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very comfortable. Not as hot as I thought I was going to be and was very thankful for that!
Wish the bathrooms didn't have a "step-up" to get into. Hard on someone with back or knee problems or who needs assistance walking.
Ship tip
Enjoy the journey. Go to the shows, join in on activities.
Beautiful just looking at the main area from our balcony. Love the shopping area and the fact that there was a beach right in the area instead of having to leave. Verynoeganized
Very organized. Didn't take a long time getting out or through customs. Longest part was someone picked up the wrong luggage and we had to do a "search" to switch it out. It even that wasn't too bad!
