Review summary

Carnival is amazing but this ship is old and smells bad. Will never go on this ship again. The only thing that made it fun is the staff and the director Emma and Aussie. We love them!

The toilet smelled nasty. Other than that everything else was pretty clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The cabin was too small for 4 people. Other cruise cabins that we have stayed on before are way bigger. The toilet smelled nasty! The fridge didn't work and when i called guest Services to let them know they sent us a bucket of ice and never fixed it.

Ship tip

Carnival is amazing just consider another ship!! Not freedom! Super small cabins, and very old ship!!

They just got out of dry dock... Or might take a while for them to get back to where they were. (Like I cruises.) lol if you think that smelt horrible, go on carnival fascination or one of their oldest ships in the fleet.

Great cruise as long As you do excursions in Freeport and Nassau . Half moon Cay looked like something you would see on a post card. The water was amazingly blue and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it . I highly recommend !

Our first cruise
