Review summary

The port of calls were wonderful and made our trip. We enjoyed the comedians. I've been on a lot of cruises and this one was the worst, from the food, menu selections, entertainment, to the waiter at dinner. We will not be going back on the Carnival Freedom.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation experience was good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food was not very good and the menu selections were horrible. The waiter for our table at dinner made us feel very uncomfortable. To get drinks while playing in the casino was next to impossible, we had to look for a waiter most of the time and wait a long time for our drinks to be brought to us. Very understaffed.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Mini golf, pools, shuffleboard, and slides, etc.. We enjoyed the things we did, there just needed to be more things and activities to do.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
We enjoyed the 80's production show but have seen it many times before. There wasn't any other production shows that we enjoyed. We also enjoyed the Love and Marriage show and comedians.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our waiter at dinner made us feel extremely uncomfortable. We were handed our table mates drink selections several times and made to feel very awkward when we took a drink from the glass not knowing it wasn't ours. He just kept saying stuff about it to the other waiters, when he was the one to hand us the drinks. An adult with me accidently dropped a food item and the waiter continued to say to the other waiter she threw it on the floor, which was not what happened. We were also given the wrong food selections. We almost didn't go back to the dining room we were made to feel so unwelcome. Our room steward was absolutely awesome.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
the cabin was smaller than we were use to and there was only one outlet in the cabin. The cabin was clean.

Ship tip

I wouldn't recommend sailing on Carnival Freedom to anyone.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

We went to Blue Lagoon Island and got to swim with the sharks. The Island was beautiful, the workers were great. The whole Blue Lagoon experience was awesome and we would do this excursion again.

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did the World Resort and Beach day with lunch excursion. Bimini is absolutely gorgeous!! We also went to the casino and rooftop pool which was amazing. The people were fantastic the whole day, the tram system made getting around super easy. The whole experience was incredible. We will definitely go back to Bimini.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and fast!!!

Sorry you had a bad time. We are scheduled to cruise June 13th to the 17th on the freedom now I'm kind of worried.
