Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Wayan was very helpful and always nice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and designed well to fit 3 people in a room.

Cabin / Stateroom

My cabin was extremely clean and always cleaned before I returned from breakfast.

Ship tip

Fun Ship, but if you want a more peaceful vacation (no kids and families) not the ship for you.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5

The shops at this port were great, but the beach excursion was not worth the money.

Yes, the Freedom was awesome for Adults. I didn't see many Teens, and the ones I did see had plenty of distractions.

I like Viking because no one under 18yo allowed!

I find that longer cruises have less children

Appreciate your feedback. Carnival advertises itself as as the family cruise line, Royal Caribbean often had “kids cruise free” so you’ll have to pay premium to find a line that doesn’t have children. Good luck. Glad you still managed to enjoy your cruise.
