7 Nights of Freedom by Zethria

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

The Western Caribbean cruise was more fun than the Eastern Caribbean to me and my husband. Maybe our next one will exceed both of these! They keep getting better and better!

Harvey hit by ajsadler75

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

So our cruise was cancelled due to the hurricane Harvey. Not upset about it being cancelled because of the hurricane. Pissed off because we were supposed to leave on Saturday. We knew hat wasn't going to happen...evidently Carnival didn't have the same idea. They didn't cancel till Monday. Royal Caribbean cancelled before that. We live 6 hours away. We would have been penalized had we cancelled before carnival actually cancelled so we tried to drive in. Not a happy cruisee

hurricane harvey ruined it. by 2joseppi328

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

hurricane harvey ruined the cruise. I will write more after my refund process. I wouldn't have gone on the cruise because of the hurricane, but customer service said that if the ship shows up and I'm not there, I don't get a dime back. So I traveled to Houston for the cruise and was stuck in a hotel for days. I paid over $800 on hotel and food. I will let everybody know if carnival cruise lines gives me a refund on the hotel I spent.

Hurricane Harvey Cruise by jerryrwallace

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

Because of Hurricane Harvey we were on the ship for 13 days. The is no way I can say how good Carnival was to us. First they kept us safe by staying away from the storm. They brought on new entertainers, kept us fed and active. We were treated so well by Carnival we will never ever cruise any other brand.

Superb Carribean Adventure! by dadz7red

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

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary aboard the Carnival Freedom during this cruise. The staff and crew aboard this ship made us realize that there is still a place on earth that you can get away from it all, celebrate how ever you want, and be treated with kindness and great service every where you went every day! This memory will be forever embedded in our hearts, and hope that all who reads this, encourages them to make a memory with Carnival! Happy Sailing To You!!!!

Freedom 7 Night by lmunoz

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

As a whole the cruise was wonderful. The only disappointment was one of the tours. Really a waste of time. Sort of like traveling to NYC to get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. Food and service was wonderful. Staff was wonderful.

A Fun Family Vacation! by JasonGegg

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

Overall, we enjoyed our first cruise and had a really good family vacation! Below are a few feedback to Carnival Cruise that can improve ours and other guests experience even more. Hope the feedback can be provided to Carnival Cruiseline. Thanks! 1. Carnival should consider providing coupons to reach family for the activities so everyone / kids get a chance to experience them, i.e. basketball, volleyball courts are alway so full and our kids never had a chance to play. 2. Provide gourmet coffee to guests without additional charges as that seems to be provided at all inclusive resorts and it’s not costly for Carnival to provide. 3. For the Carnival photos, the cost per photo is too expensive, ie. one 5 x 7 @ $15 and one 8x7 @ $22. Carnival should consider putting up screen for guests to review pictures and then select and print only the ones they want to purchase with out wasting ink and papers and not helping the environments. Also with the digital age today, Carnival should consider provide an affordable digital copy purchase combo so guests can purchase entire photos and print on their own when return home. I bet the guests are more willing to purchase the digital options and at the same time, Carnival can help save the environments without wasting all the printed pictures and guests not purchasing them at such a high price. 4. For the snacks area, provide a little more variety for dessert thru out the day other than just ice cream. There are many folks who are lactose intolerance. 5. Provide more varieties to the buffet as they seems to the same everyday and lack of variety on fruits options too. Fruits are cheap. 6. Provide better mandatory safety muster station training with smaller groups. Waiting for everyone for role call is effective and can post medical issues to elderly and people with disabilities waiting so long and in the heat. 7. Provide long time at each port so guests can enjoy the country 8. Provide more clarity for excursion for each port as we were not aware for the 'Barrier Reef Snorkel' excursion would take us directory to the snorkel site and no visit onto Belize at all. We wouldn't have booked this if we would have the details from Carnival. 9. Would like to have better clarity upfront from when customer would receive the 'on board credit for use'. We were not clear on that until we spoke 'guest services' on the ship.
