Carnival Freedom Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Cruise staff was nice, our room location 6371 was awful. We were above an area where music was played from 10:00am to 01:00am. The noise was awful which the Purser verified (very loud music and vibration) The purser recommended ear plugs which we supplied our self. We could still hear the noise and feel the vibration, unacceptable. The minimal compensation we received was not acceptable for the discomfort we received. We have sailed on many Carnival Cruises (this was our 31st cruise) and never experienced any thing like this before.

Everything was great on the ship, everyone was nice and service was quick.  The whole trip went smooth sailing. I did not have one issue aboard the freedom. Cruise director was funny and kept you up to date. I will be sailing again on Carnival.

The cruise was great. Great food and entertainment. Plenty of choices for different foods. Guys burgers was a great place to eat enjoyed it very much.

I loved scuba diving in Belize and Honduras was beautiful.  I enjoyed the food and all the people I met.  The staff was great.  It was like Cheers because everyone knew my name.

Great trip, had great time with family and friends.  I was sea sick for the first two day fut everyone helped me through and it turned out to be a great trip

As a first timer I had a great time. I enjoyed the activities and what the ship had to offer.  The cruise director was charming and the staff was superb. The singing and food were mediocre but otherwise it was a great time.

It was nice to get away and enjoy the Caribbean,if you did not have to deal with some of the ship's management.After waiting two hours in the ho;ding area we were allowed on board.In our room we found that the toilet did not work,Our room steward was great and came right down.He called maintenance but no one showed up.After 3 hours and 3 phone calls we left for dinner,returned to find the toilet working.

My wife bought the "Bubbles" drink package.We found that each time she asked for the coke to be left in the can,she was charged $2.88.I talked to a costumer service lady who told me that the mgr would call me.He never did.The costumer service personnel need costumer relations training.

My wife looked forward to exercising and sitting in the steam room.The steam room was broken,and would not get fixed until the end of cruise,with a part in Galveston. Why could not have the part waiting for us in one of the ports?

The buffet food was good but the dinning room just O.K.Several times those in my group did not eat their main course.

The pool area on the Lido deck was a continual party and those there were having a great time with loud Rap music,but I would not recommend this for anyone over 40.

To top it off,when deplaning,we rode down the elevator.The ship lost power and the elevator came to an abrupt halt,stopping us between floors.There is no direct phone in the elevator and the call button would not work with the power out!!

We went for 7 days cruise. Had a excellent time. The staff service was very good.

Food selections were good. 

The layout of the ship was good. The pool facility and the entertainment provided around the pool area was outstanding. Enjoy every bit of it.

The employees of the ship were the best.

the embarkation, disembarkation and security briefing process are awful.

Will recommend but maybe after some changes during those 3 processes!

The crew members were great! The food was great! I had an issue with one of my excursions and they help resolve the issue immediately. I would recommend this cruise with Carnival to friends and family.

The cruise was wonderful, but embarkation and dembarkation was terrible.  At embarkation all water bottles and Gatorade were confiscated without prior notice.  At dembarkation  someone took one of our pieces of luggage by mistake.  Thankfully the person returned it, but the Carnival staff at dembarkation had me waiting for over two hours to give me my piece of luggage.  The Carnival lost luggage person in charge would tell me it would be here in just a little bit.  My husband and I were tired and hungry especially since it was after our lunch hour.  It was not until 3:50 pm that we received our one piece of luggage.  When I asked for a compensation for waiting, the Carnival Manager said all he could do was help me with my bag.  I was upset because I was unable to eat and my blood sugar was low.  I explanied to Bobby, the Cruise Manager, and he was not empathetically instead he questioned me why I had not told them about my blood sugar.  I did not question because Vicky, lost bagge manager, told me several times that I would receive my luggage in a few minutes.  This incident happened in the Galveston port.  

The people in the cruise ship were great especially the international workers, but the people in the port were not very helpful and rude.  I don’t think I want to take another cruise with Carnival line because of the way we were treated on Galveston port.

The staff was great the food was very good. The state room location was terrible. Would recommend cruise with better room location. The ports were nice

visiting places we've never been before

Great People,  Great Food,  Great facilities! All my family really enjoyed, Loved service quality, meals, rooms, etc in other hand we had the opportunity to use Gym and Run on board, great experiences.....!!!

Had a Great time. Everyone was friendly, rooms were good.  Had a good time on all the islands. We had 2 days at sea coming back I thought they needed a little more things to do.  The shows at night were good.  Overall we did have a GREAT Time!!

The cruise was very relaxing and full of fun at all the ports we visited.  Our dining room experience was superb!  Roy and Shaun took great care to see that we were well fed for the entire cruise.  Our cabin steward, Pim, kept us in clean towels and unique towel animals all week long!  Everyone was so friendly.  We had a great week and would recommend the cruise to everyone!!

We had thoroughly enjoyed our weeks break on carnival cruise. Overall its a great experience for all ages and it includes my 18 month old daughter. 

The Food, Staff, Entertainment meets our expectation. Shore excursions were great and enjoyable with great price.

However understand that $147 were charge for vacation protection plan from follow up call after cruise. However it was never discussed during the booking and never required by us. Apart from this everything is good with the booking process.

Great experience and destinations, probably would not take Carnival cruise lines again. We didn't have the best service and the ship felt overcrowded and like the Spirit of budget airlines. Absolutely recommend all three of the destinations and the entertainment staff was great!

The port of Galveston was easy we were dropped off right in front.  We didn't have to wait to long after check in to board.  Once on board we ate lunch and went to our cabin.  Luggage appeared soon after.  Great crew, nice room.  We had an ocean view that pleasant.  There was a weird smell in the hallway but nothing that we couldn't handle.  The port of Ocho Rios Jamaica wasn't anything great.  Vendors were really trying to pressure you into buying stuff and that was annoying.  Cayman was beautiful, great shopping and real layed back.  Would like to visit again.  Swimming with the sting rays and kayaking was great fun.  Cozumel Mexico was fun.  We didn't plan an excursion but when we got off the ship we rented a scooter for the day and rode around the island exploring.  Ate lunch right on the beach.  It was fabulous!

Everything was wonderful. The staff, the excursions, the food, all was great.

Every location was beautiful, the ship was clean, the activities were awesome. We just enjoyed ourselves so much and made lots of memories.
