Review summary

We really enjoy cruising and have been on several carnival cruises in the past. We were disappointed that the overall service on the ship does not meet other ships out of the same ports standards.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
This was a standard experience

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Many of the males tasted the same and had little to no flavor

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Shows, mini golf, we tried to play ping-pong with our kids on many occasions but there were never any balls available at the table.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
One of the dancers, Nicole From Australia is well past her prime and sticks out from the group like a sore thumb. All of the talent on this particular cruise was mediocre at best

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
My 13-year-old boys were disappointed in the activities available for their age group

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our room steward Bali Did a half assed job cleaning the room each day, our waitstaff never took a drink order each night at dinner. I have been on several carnival cruises and this was by far the most disappointing

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Do you to lack of trash cans there was a lot of garbage left laying around in common areas and around the pools

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The room size was good we have stayed in this room before. I was disappointed that the window to the balcony had been shattered on a prior cruise so our view was obstructed and we were not compensated Or warned that this had been done prior to our arrival.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

2 out of 5
Be covered parking advertised in lot A & B Was metal frames with no coverings left on them. We paid the extra cost and ended up with uncovered parking even though we had booked and paid in advance

Montego Bay, Jamaica

4 out of 5
The Dunn’s River Falls tour was amazing

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Stingray island and the sea turtles are definitely worth seeing

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
The catamaran and private island tour was a good break for the kids but not overly exciting

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
This process was horrible, no one adhered to the instructions none of the staff members and forced the instructions and it took us over two hours to disembark.

Wait, are your standards to the point where nobody could reach it, and so you judge badly on every ship? ALSO, please tell me why you have no cruises saved in your profile...

Heaven Forbid somebody give an honest opinion about their cruise or what they think about an entertainer. They should ban anybody from posting anything but great reviews. You pro-carnival mouth pieces are amazing.

Please tell me more about the males at dinner????? Also, so the window was broken?? Which room was this? Sad you didn’t find anything acceptable. And the poor entertainer. Guess after 25 everyone should hang up their entertainment careers

You need to proof read your posts. So many errors , some was hard to understsnd. I have never had such a problem with the Freedom. I love to sail her and cant wait! Maybe cruising isn't for you?

The dining experience comment was hilarious all the “males tasted the same with no flavor”. 😂😂
