Took a family vacation with the kids. Loved the bahamas. Was disappointed with Turks and caicos. Also disappointed with the lack of shows that the ship had to offer. Been on other cruises and the entertainment level was amazing. Shows every night.

Didn’t feel safe in this island at the beach. Also the beach is very rocky.

Thanks for sharing this, but please detail each section more, as if I was to go on Freedom, I would need to know what to avoid. Overall, sorry for the bad cruise you had and please more detailed.

I just got off the Carnival Paradise. Its an older ship which was ok by me but they were understaffed, food in dining room was beyond bad which was disappointing, as I've always enjoyed Carnival food, terrible entertainment. Not much cleaning and sanitizer stations for such a crowded ship as well. I will rethink going on Carnival going forward.

Appreciate the review! I'm a little surprised at the lack of onboard activities, normally carnival has ample activities. Maybe they were under staffed.

Thanks for the review. Cruising since Covid is not the same as previously. The Freedom is not a mega ship, so it won’t have the same level of entertainment / restaurants of the newer / larger ships. We have been to Grand Turk several times and have never felt unsafe. The snorkeling there is excellent.
