Review summary

Overall the cruise and ship were ok and I wouldn't stay away from Carnival Freedom. Just need to be aware that it is not top tier cruise line. I don't use the beverage package, but theirs is the best buy at sea. Unfortunately the ship entertainment was simply not good.

Onboard Activities

Ship fun staff kept things going.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Main shows were not good at all. No production and the singers couldn't sing. Very disappointing part of the cruise.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service was good, but staff not overly engaged like on other cruise lines.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was in good shape and clean, but the layout somewhat challenging given can't always navigate from one end to the other without changing levels.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Traveled solo, so the cabin was more than adequate. Plenty of floor space so didn't feel cramped at all. Nice bonus having sofa and extra chair that were actually very usable.
