Great cruise by dfitch1

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

Got married on the boat. Jamaica we went to doctors cave beach. That was a great beach. My wife thought thre water was extra salty but it was beautiful and felt very safe on the beach. Did stingrays and turtles at grand Cayman that was lots of fun. And mr sanchos at cozumel. Lots of drinking there. The water was rough so snorkeling wasn't to good there.

Weddings and Family , the fun is what you make it. by sholmesok

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

We celebrated a wedding. Everything was very organized. The staff was excellent. I enjoy cruising on Carnival. Conquest Class isnt my favorite, I like the bells and whistles of Dream Class and Vista Class ship. Fun is what you make it. Being with family and friends and On vacation is always Fun to me.

Not pleased at all by BowlerMary

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

See my husband’s review. Jerry Kirby room 6471. We will no longer travel on Carnival due to the way we were both treated by the casino employees — Jean and Stephen at the 3 card poker tables. A female casino pit boss apologized for their behavior and sent gifts to our cabin but this does not make up for the disrespect from those two men. We were both very disappointed. Due to winning multiple full house hands at the three card poker table, we are eligible for participation in a tournament coming up on May 17. Due to our displeasure we will not be there or travel on Carnival ever again.

Texas Time is my time. by Salty97

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

This was probably my favorite cruise. The ports were well laid out so we didn’t have too many boring sea days. The ports were excellent and I enjoyed every port visit. We went to so many cool places. I’d go again in a heartbeat.

Panama Canal by mstones68

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

Very nice cruise especially through the Canal, however I wish we had been on a smaller ship so we could have gone through the older side of the Canal rather than the new one

Very Nice 14-Day Cruise by Gogogranny

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Freedom / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

Little bit older/smaller ship. Easy to learn your way around. Great Carnival FUN SQUAD and stage performers. LOVED my first 14-day cruise. Now...one week will just not be long enough in the future.

Worst cruise experience by LindaBost

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

Not happy with the ship. Guest services desk tried helping, but to no avail on our room. Wasn't the happiest with the solution. Had the worst experience with departure I have ever had. Partially with carnival, their venders, and customs

Fantastic Caribbean Cruise by Ohmoran

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

Over all everything went as we planned, what made our trip more enjoyable, fun, wonderful, fantastic vacation, but most of all we had excellent room service Iwayan and Mahhud every morning we saw them with a 😃 smile they would always call us by our frist name and always asking if we were comfortable , that they were there to service us 🏆 on our last day they told us too take care and that its a pleasure serving us. It doesn't end there , we always had the early dinner Annlny, Syahrul and Sudiarta were our waiters they would received all 14 of us with a smile and always checking making sure that we were all comfortable we love their performance, they have a goos altitude they work together very good, great team work⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We would definitely come back for another cruise.

Great crew but Kitchen needs work by DBat7Seas

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

Overall, 8/10. Our room, room steward, waitstaff and all personnel we met with were very good to great. No complaints at all with the staff. Kitchen needs to improve their food temperature and overall quality back to previous standards. TJ, the cruise director, is great! Very fun, super cute and personal! Huge shoutout to JoJo in Club O2! She’s a gem! Really kind, very much gets kids and makes the effort to both know the kids and their families. Orpha, our room steward (1372) is also a total gem! Made sure to personally greet us each time she saw us! She has approximately 50 rooms to clean and new people each week but never failed to acknowledge us by name!

the experience on the ship... by LauraMaee

Sail date: /
Ship: Carnival Freedom

the experience on the ship personally was amazing, had a slight issue with the room steward as she was never around and didnt have room service sheets for three days in the room aside from that it was an unforgettable experience. Cozumel was and always is phenomenal, Belize was not worth getting off the ship for, everything was so expensive and not a whole lot of shopping options, roatan was MY FAVORITE, it was absolutely gorgeous with the jungle and ocean and the people were so so nice. Wait staff on the ship was the best I have experienced, they knew your name and were so interactive, we were no strangers to them. Can not wait for our next cruise 🥰

never again out of Galveston. by Jim479

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

This was the 5th Cruise this year on Carnival. This one was the most disgusting trip that I have been on. Something is wrong with the sewer system on that ship.

First Cruise on Carnival by SoonerMark50

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

We normally cruise Royal. We've been wanting to see the Bahamas and like departing from Galveston because we can drive there easily, so we thought we would try Carnival. We traveled with four other families for a total of 15 people. Carnival does some things better. We liked the food, the kids club, and the entertainment were all impressive compared to Royal. The ship layout is horrible though. The buffet was disappointing and the volume of the music and PA on the pool deck made conversation impossible. Even our kids wanted to leave after the music got cranked up. Royal has better onboard ship features and activities. This ship had problems with sewage, water pressure, and air conditioning. My biggest complaint was the smoke from the casino poured out into decks 3,4 and 5 where all the activities and clubs were. My biggest compliment goes to the crew. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I was impressed that even the stage show performers seemed to enjoy interacting with the passengers. That was something I have never seen from Royal. Will probably still prefer Royal over Carnival, but might give them a try on one of their newer ships.
