I was on the Freedom in April for 7 days. Had a great time. In my opinion...Good food....I ate in MDR. I didn't ask people but I we enjoyed it... Great entertainment. Loved the comedy club and other shows.. I guess is is a matter of opinion.

Thanks for the review. How long was the cruise? We're on the 8 day Bahamas in December. Hoping the 8 day will have a different feel than the shorter cruises. Looking forward to half Moon Cay, and it will be after dry dock. Really didn't enjoy the Valor recently-i remember enjoying the Freedom. If this one in December isn't good, it may be time to switch cruise lines, even though I have loved carnival. This 8 day Bahamas is only$2000 for a balcony. Can't hardly beat that price!!

Is it possible this was the case because the ship is heading to dry dock?
