Carnival Freedom Cruise Reviews - Reviews

They charge a premium for stuff that used to be included.

The cruise was ok. The wifi hardly worked and i was charged the full price. The food was ok but the salad kept tasting like fish, unsure why. Overall im not sure i would sail carnival again

Overall experience was a plus. My stateroom refrigerator did not get cold during stay. Entertainment was a plus, staff was a plus also

This was the first cruise I'd been on in 25 years. The boat was clean, the staff was helpful. The evening dining meal was just OK. Nothing to write home about. More staff is needed at the coffee bars during the morning and afternoon. There was always a long line. The 9th floor coffee bar never had more than one person. The snorkeling was not worth the money. The staff was very friendly and helpful but the snorkeling was below average. If you have been snorkeling in the Caribbean before, save your money. You won't see anything new. And you have to wear a life vest which is a pain. I can't recommend the dune buggy excursion in Grand Turks enough. That was the highlight of the trip for us.

Quite an adventure with the fire on the ship. Thank God we were not in open waters when it happened. Carnival tried their best to be accommodating for the inconvenience that happened to us.

Loved the cruise and will do it again. We did have one mishap. The exhaust stack on the port said caught on fire when we docked at Grand Turk. No one was in any danger and the crew handled the fire swiftly. Our trip was extended two days (at no additional charge) waiting for the Conquest to come take us home. The Conquest arrived with banners flying with "CARNIVAL FREEDOM HERE WE COME" and "WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE YOU AS OUR GUEST". The Conquest was on deck waving and dancing welcoming us.

You pay for what you get.. not bad for the price, but definitely not for my family to do it again.

Already recommending this cruise to family and friends.

Food was horrible. Cruise director was good! We had a good room steward who kept room clean and always had a towel character waiting for us!

Overall the cruise was a fun get away and the comedy shows with A-train were hilarious.

This is our 4th cruise. 1st on Carnival. Comparing this cruise with the others, this is ranked 3rd. Our Norwegian cruise was the best on board experience. My top desire on a cruise is to be provided with a good dining experience. This was among the worst we've experienced. Choices were so limited, my wife had omelets for breakfast every morning. We decided to have our 1st evening dinner formally. The service was excellent, both ladies were 1st class. but the food was below expectation. I had the salmon. My impression; it was taken from the refrigerator, placed in a skillet with a little oil, broiled and sent to the table to be seasoned with salt & pepper. My wife had the shrimp. She does not eat fried batter. After removing the batter, there was this tiny shrimp poking out. This was not a chef's best presentation. We opted to have the rest of our dinners at the buffet. The steak defied the steak knife & was only chewable. One night we had the Ribs. It appeared to be boiled. After removing the fat there was not much else remaining worth eating. Once I had a pork chop. I held it in my hand and ate it like a cracker it was so thin & crisp. For breakfast. Twice bacon was served. It was difficult breaking it apart as they stuck together, and a paper towel was needed to remove the excess grease. The pancakes were undercooked and doughy in texture. The pizza was an oversized cracker, partially burnt with barely any cheese and some pepperoni on top. There were so many other poorly prepared items. Obviously, my wife thought the omelets were the best item on the breakfast menu. I'm not much of an egg eater. Some men go on vacation to relieve their wives of the kitchen. This was not a good experience. On our Norwegian cruise the menus were superb. For lunch & dinner, each day they had a unique menu. One day Mexican, one day Indian, one day Barbeque, one day Caribbean, one day Italian. The chefs walked around proudly displaying their hats & level of rank. On a Caribbean cruise there should be a Caribbean flavored menu at least one day. At the Port of calls there were no Caribbean cuisine available. I lost my time at the beach in Turks Island to experience a Jerk chicken meal miles away from the designated beach. Fortunately the shuttle driver waited for me. The tour guides were all very friendly on both Islands. Service overall was good. The band & singers on the 3rd level were very good. The comedian was awful. Had no good jokes other than picking on folks in the audience. He picked on Indians and their cuisine. Some walked out. Talked about how their spicy foods made it hard to fart comfortably. If I had to pick the best thing on the cruise, it would be the very comfortable bed, especially the pillows.

Overall we had another good trip with Carnival. I few issues happened but the crew took care of them as quickly as possible. I will never book another cruise to Ambers Cove. We have been taken advantage of both times we visited this port and no one would fix the issue or give us our money back either time.

Overall, we had a nice time on this cruise. This was our first Caribbean cruise (we've cruised to Asia, Europe and the Mediterranean) and we decided to join some friends for a short trip, just to get away for a bit. It was very relaxing and we enjoyed the time we spent on the ship and on the islands. It made for a pleasant preview and maybe we'll visit more of the Caribbean in the future.

Loved the entertainment is and crew the shore excursions we're great even though no place I went to took a credit card but all and all it was very enjoyable. Would do it again

Beautiful cruise the food was delicious and the customer service staff was excellent

As an Orlando resident, and given the number of other cruise options departing from Port Canaveral, I would not choose Carnival again.

I had so much fun. The cruise was so relaxing. The water was so blue. Perfect weather.

This cruise and the ship is great for party people and those that are new to cruising.

Overall everything was good, just wished Carnival would have done the right thing and refunded the un-used bus tickets especially because our flight was canceled and we could have proved it.

Diane was my housekeeper and she was fantastic.. my room was beautiful and she was so helpful with showing me around when I was lost .. she’s the MVP
