Review summary

This was by far the worst Carnival ship I have ever been on! A very old ship that actually shook badly when entering and leaving ports. Few onboard activities, lunch waiters in need of training, our room wasn't even cleaned when we boarded! Will be dry docked in January 2019 for repairs and updating.

We were on Freedom twice and last was in August. Both times we loved it. A little dated but nothing that can spoil the fun you can have on the ship.
