Review summary

This was the 5th Cruise this year on Carnival. This one was the most disgusting trip that I have been on. Something is wrong with the sewer system on that ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet had the same food, over and over. The free drinks was always empty. MDR, I tipped early on Cruise, I should have waited until last night, After the tip the waiter became lazy.

Freedom is my favorite ship. So all this mindless drivel means nothing to me.

Maybe you are just hard to please. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the terminal building. Its not a hotel its a staging area.

We have sailed this ship several times and as recently as October 6th. Great cruise each time. We have never smelled the smell you are talking about. We ate our meals in the MDR. Awesome service and food. Room steward took excellent care of us. We also enjoyed all of the ports. Loved the cruise.

Wow, I went on that same cruise, same ship. I did not have problems. I loved Belize, enjoyed doing a food tour. In Mahogany Bay I enjoyed Gambolina Park and the Beach. In Cozumal there is so much to do and see. Sewage smell? Happens sometimes. Where were you? Lower deck? What did guest services say?
