Review summary

We have cruised 8 times, and have never been on a ship in such horrible conditions as the Carnival Freedom from being Filthy to the ship having broken windows, Rust all over the ship, sharp edges on metal which cut my leg, I honestly cannot think of one good thing on this ship. We will never cruise Carnival again!

Floor 8 reeked of sewage and urine! Rust all over the ship. Broken windows, cut my leg on the restroom door from a piece of metal at the bottom. Complained about this to the pursuers deck and they offered us a bottle of wine lol, we don’t drink but really!

Cabin / Stateroom

First of all the entire cruise our bathroom reeked of Urine and on our floor when you got off the elevator would knock you down with sewage odors!!! I took a video of how filthy our room was, dirt, hair all along the edge of the cabin floor, dust everywhere, cabinets, tv, bathroom. Rust on our balcony and all over the ship. Horrible

Oh, look! Only a certain number of cabin stewards! And 4-5K rooms that need to be done. Before boarding begun for the next load

That's too bad I sailed on the Freedom in April. I had an amazing time. Clean ship and very friendly staff. I loved all the food I had in main dining room. Not all the buffet was great , but most was good.

Must have been on a different Freedom than the one we were on in December. Our Freedom was quite clean and beautiful.
