Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The Carnival Freedom has quite a few spots that are showing wear and tear. Our room was hot until the last day of our 9 day cruise. After a day of sun, I needed cool and couldn’t get it in the room. There was also a chemical smell quite frequently up and down the hall like they were spraying for something.

Cabin / Stateroom

We have cruised on Freedom twice. I love her! But, both times our cabins were hot. They just never got cool. We were given a fan to use both times. Have not experienced this on the other ships we have sailed.

Just got off Freedom yesterday. Our room actually got to cold at night. Ifirst thing we did was turn thermostat to its coldest setting.

I sail in the freedom in January 2020. What type of cabin did you have? If you don’t mind saying.
