Glad to be back Cruisin'! by cnewman1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

This was the first cruise this ship and crew had been on since the pandemic hit. The crew was as excited as we were to start cruising again. The welcome on board was heartwarming. The first night at dinner had a few glitches with the service, but they were all fixed by the next dinner. The Alchemy Bar was an exceptional experience. I asked for a unique drink to be made, and they made it. It became my favorite drink. Because the cruise was only half filled, there was no waiting at any time. It was a very smooth and wonderful experience - a great way to begin cruising again!

Excellent crew... disappointing food. by LLcdPH

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

It was a great week to get away and we overall enjoyed the cruise. Disappointed we weren't able to get to Belize but they made a short stop in Costa Maya Mexico on the return trip to help make up for that lost stop. Overall, I don't think we'll be sailing Carnival again due to the poor evening meal choices and food in general. If you plan on sailing Carnival, thoroughly research the ship before making your reservations.

But anyways he is the sweetest young man I have meet in a long time.. tell him thank you for me again.. I truly miss him... thank you to everyone, you all are wonderful....

The staff on the Carnival Freedom are Great by jeaqual

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Great cruise, friendly, helpful staff except for Bingo caller (her majesty). There is a bar b que restaurant on the 10th floor (walk up the stairs from level 9). The food is fabulous and free. Very few people know where the Bar B que restaurant is , so you can have your pick of the chicken, beef or sausage and tables.

We love Carnival! by snhayner

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

TJ was awesome. Loved him, he is very funny. Pande in the Chic Restaurant was by far the best person. We requested him every night. Our room steward Andri was super nice! He remembered our names, and our room was always so clean! Everyone was super nice. The comedy shows were our favorite. The love & marriage show was also super fun to watch. Overall, we had a really great time and will definitely come back!

Disappointed by tishfj

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Went on the tour mainly to relax after hectic holiday season. Very comfortable, convenient and relaxing. Nice not to have to fly somewhere with flights overbooked and canceled. Convenient drive. Will do it again but will probably choose a different ship and check to see if more entertainment is offered.

30th Anniversary Sail-ebration! by grmayo69

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Carnival Freedom was our very first cruise. We did not know what to expect, but we were VERY pleasantly surprised. We had such an enjoyable time that we did not want to come home, and we are currently planning our next cruise. For anyone hesitant about cruising, don't be...just book one!

Horrible experience!! Cabin HOT! No day activities! One activity was ADULT COLORING. Slept for 2 days and watch same movies over and over with 4 people in a Hot room. Missed 2 ports. Called customer care said they would not give ANY refunds. by Tayders

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Horrible experience!! Cabin HOT! No day activities! One activity was ADULT COLORING. Slept for 2 days and watch same movies over and over with 4 people in a Hot room. Missed 2 ports. Called customer care said they would not give ANY refunds. Many people were there for graduation and wedding. Completely disappointed on the cruise experience and how they handled this situation. My family was EXCITED about our vacation like everyone else. This will be the last Time we EVER go on carnival. Also after missing 2 ports, carnival cruise members kept pushing to spend more money on the ship. Picture, drinking, shopping. It was ridiculous. The only thing good about this cruise, was the hard working staff. Meaning servers, housekeeping and food service. Same food choices over and over. All unhealthy and fattening.

Despite the weather, the crew made the cruise by boulos21

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The crew director and crew were amazing. With all the fun and excitement they created it helped deter from the fact that we did not get to port or that we were in troubled weather. I would take this cruise all over again.

Awesome! by BigRod1

Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Awesome cruise, except for the morning fitness class instructors ignoring their duty to hold class (they just set up their equipment for the pay classes if they showed up at all).

Birthday Cruise by britniweiss

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The two main things I was disappointed in was our room locations and the fact that we were not all assigned to the same dinner table. When we boarded, we quickly realized that we were spread all over the place. When we initially booked, we were told that the ship was pretty full, but that only one person would be located on the 2nd floor and that the rest of us would be close together. That was not the case. We were only close to one other couple. We also quickly realized that we were not at the same dinner table. The whole reason we went though a travel person was so that it would be easier for us to be placed together. I sent over an hour going through customer service and then the dinner lead to see if we could be sat at the same table. The overall experience of the cruise was great, but the initial few hours weren't good for those that this was their first cruise experience.
