Great time with a great director. Just a few small areas that hurt when you think about how much you spend.

Nice Family Getaway by Familyw2teens

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom

This was my second cruise, my families 1st. It was a good vacation. I wish the ports of call days weren’t back to back. It would have been nice to have a day at sea break. Kids are older and loved the circle c activities. Food was good and the carnival app was really helpful.

Probably will not cruise again by luphoff

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom

Horrible internet service, paid $75 to have it and couldn't get or keep reception Rip off! Also, not enough help at guest services, the lines were always long. I had to down grade my ratings for the staff, because it increased the overall rating. Very SAD the staff and our room attendants were AMAZING

mostly great by beano05061953

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom

I would not recommend this cruise during spring break. Too crowded. Rules not enforced to pool seats and terrible disembarkation.

Love Cruising With Carnival by Cruiser94349111

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Freedom

Carnival is a great cruise line. We enjoy every vacation we spend with them. This cruise was no different. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we made memories, and we had fun!! Isn’t that what every vacation should be about?!

doesn't know what carnival cruise rooms include. Very disappointed. by mbernal92

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom

The room steward and waitstaff were great. The lack of knowledge from on what carnival rooms include was TERRIBLE. We were advised by SHERI ZAWISLAK along with the description on website that the room we booked (the ocean suite) had a bathtub which was of the upmost importance as we were bringing two littles who were afraid of and too young to shower. We were ASSURED our room had a tub but when we got on....no tub and NO solution from carnival.

Worst experience ever! by beastboiy

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Freedom

The cruise was boring, not fun at all, 2 small little pools, the layout in which the buffet is designed is horrible, lines were so long they went into the walkway and merge with other food lines (the sandwich place or the sushi place), and constantly been bumped into by people walking by! the wait times for dine in dinner were absurdly long, and once we did get seated and the wait times for the food to come were 30/45mins most days. Most The activities on the planner were not activities at all, they were mostly invites to come buy something; “a bracelet, a gold chain, a luxury handbag, a watch, a t-shirt, etc” they activities that were up there like some of the trivia’s we attended didn’t even happen. Why? Because no one hosted it, no one showed up, no announcements, just wasted time! And this happened on multiple trivia’s, I don’t understand how music being played and a bar or lobby is considered an activity!? It shouldn’t even be on the planner as this should be considered background music like or passing music, if people want to stop by and enjoy the music fine, but don’t add it on the planner as an activity. I feel like you guys didn’t know what to do and just put in some fillers on the planner…this ship needs to be retired! If I could do it all over again I would not spend my money with carnival! When someone takes time off the everyday lives for vacation and away from their families, we except a certain type of type of service. And my cousin Jason nor myself received this expectation at all…I was really looking forward to visiting princess cays and Freeport was a disaster! We waited almost an hour for a taxi to the local beach. Just to be told we can only stay at the beach for 45mins to an hour because that’s the way the tour is set up. I was over this trip on the 2nd day! I saw soooo many people complaining to guess services and their own bad experiences, it actually felt good to know I wasn’t the only one! for this to be my first vacation with carnival I will never spend my money with carnival again, Royal Caribbean from here on out!

Was great. by 4414Mills

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom

Drink prices were surprising high. $3 for a 12 oz can pop at the bars $5 for the same can at dinner. $15-$16 for 8 oz or less mixed drink seems a bit much. Maybe all cruises are like this now it was surprising.

Very Average Cruise by Hobgoode1958

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom

My daughter's family have been on several Carnaval cruises, but said this was the worst one ever! My first...and last. I was disappointed with the serve I received from and will deal directly with the cruise line. The so-called onboard credits were a joke...we spent about $10k on this cruise and got $50 per cabin (3). There were not other benefits from using . We weren't even that close to each other. I'm going back to Disney!

First Time Cruising by royrox

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom

The entire cruise was nice and relaxing. Only complaint is the noise people made going back to their staterooms after a night of partying.

Great Cruise by striplingrebecc

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom

Everything was great but we were really disappointed with the food in the main dining room. No way I’d want to dress up formal for that.
