Carnival Freedom Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Th trip was for my birthday. I was pleased with Carnival overall just not a couple of the Ports. I love Carnival. This is my 3rd cruise with them and they never disappoint. They went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special.

Very great experience with my entire family. My Dad's first cruise at 93 years young and he loved it.

Ship, Food, Service & Staff: Fantastic Luggage Services: Simply Disappointing

Certainly not the best cruise I have been on.....layout of posh dining room is too hard to get too and a very small waiting area; very congested.

It was great for it being the first time to cruise. I think I would pick a different time of year so we could enjoy the Caribbean warm weather.

It was an experience I’ll never forget and I will definitely do another one.

WEATHER COLD AND RAINY WHOLE TIME. SEA WAS VERY ROUGH. SUN ON LAST DAY BUT STILL COOL. OTHERWISE IT WAS OK.

Cruise was good. Have visited the same ports before.

Cruise was good. Have visited the same ports before.

for my first trip I didn't expect so nice of a staff and service

this was a graduation present for our daughter. she has for years wanted to hold a sloth and that was achieved on this trip. a memory not soon forgotten

My husband first time on a cruise and enjoyed it very much. It was our honeymoon

It was a great experience and will love to do it again

Good for children and heavy drinkers. Very little space for the adults. Smoking allowed in the casino which permeates throughout the hallway.

It was very fun I do have one thing I would like to put in here since there’s not a space to put something you dislike really my daughter got sick the last day we were at sea and they kept on telling me my daughters temperature was fine when indeed it was not and they didn’t want to do the rectal temperature I had to do it myself and she end up having 103.6 fever instead of 98 because under the arm is not accurate at all don’t get me wrong they were very friendly and nice and trIRS to help me with my daughter but they need to understand that they should do the rectal temperature for young children my daughter is only one years old and had extremely high fever....

Carnival Freedom is a beautiful ship with a friendly and attentive staff. The food was excellent, and the entertainment was mostly commendable.

I am very unhappy with my cruise. Let me start by stating , We are previous cruisers but it had been 5+ years. This WAS the most disappointing cruise we have ever taken. First I specifically asked and questioned a few things from Wendy the booking agent before booking. This was my anniversary and a congratulations celebration for myself and my husband. I fully made her aware of this. Wendy and I went back and forth questions before finally booking because we had a lot of concerns . At the original booking of this cruise I stated that I wanted a balcony which was a must and anytime dining ( which is imperative as I am a diabetic) therefore, I have to eat early. Wendy stated that the balconies were sold out, suggested an oceanview. I specifically said I've never had an oceanview does the window open for fresh air- she said "yes". I agreed to take this room. I sent her an email asking about a charge for cokes onboard and confirming what I read because I haven't cruised in 5 years . Wendy replied back " Yes there is a charge -Sodas cost but you can also carry on your own soda if you would rather ". Upon getting on the ship we had to discard our cases of soda and bottled water because it was in a plastic bottle (Which we had no idea cans only are accepted.). Getting to the room we found the Ocean view window does not open. The anytime dinner we requested was scheduled for late dinner, therefore we were turned away when we arrived at 630. The trip went down hill from there.... The staff onboard were Very rude. The shipped had an awful smell of sewer throughout. The room we were in felt like a sauna at night-even after numerous complaints. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND CARNIVAL FREEDOM OR MAKE A RESERVATION WITH CRUISELINE .COM AGAIN.

We had a great time. We wished the sea wasn't that rough on the way back to Galveston. But we shall cruise again, perhaps to Panama Canal. Tell us when you have a great deal.

Loved cruising again. Just wish there were leas kids running around the cabin areas and common areas. Our waiters and cabin cleaning staff were the best. They made our vacation great!!

Overall, the Carnival Freedom is a great ship that offers maximum fun. We have sailed on it 2x now and plan to sail on it again. Our favorite part is the Vista Wraparound Balcony. Book it as early in advance as you can because they go quickly.
