Check on the age of the ship before you book. Freedom is older, but the cost is not cheaper. If entertainment is important, book another cruise line.

Carnival Freedom was the worst ship ever. We did not go to Bahamas due to weather so I am unable to comment the ports.

The Playlist production shows are all incredible with high tech effects. We went to every single show they offered. We personally enjoy doing various trivia games and spending time in the casino more than the crowded outdoor poor/water activities.

Keep the daily list of activities with you so you don't miss anything. Deck 5 is the best floor to go from the front to the back of the ship.

Use a different cruise line.

The pizza and Guy's Burgers are the best food on the ship.

Save your money and vacation time; take a more refined cruise line or fly to your destination. Its not the money. (for us $3200 for Grand Suite) It is the lost vacation time that you will never get back. This is much like a bus that floats rather than a fun refined cruise ship. You have been warned.

Enjoy all activities available on the cruise.

Think very hard about how much you will drink. And if you drink, don't skimp on the cheaper drinks, go for the ones that are more expensive or have a floater. They're MUCH more satisfying and you won't need as many.

Enjoy everything they have to offer. And bring extra money because they have some unbelievable sales the last two days of sailing

Only take one large suitcase per person and two small bags to carry on.

This was our 5th cruise, so we are not so focused on doing the fancy dinner every night any more. The food is fabulous and the service is wonderful, but it can take 90 min to finish dinner. The evening buffet on the Lido deck is delicious, and you can be done in 30 minutes, if you have other plans

Ship has a good layout and easy to maneuver around even with crows gathered in areas

The Carnival Hub app was a great way to communicate with others you are with on the ship and have the activity schedule with you. It was only $5 per person for the entire cruise. We didn't waste time trying to find each other and were able to go to more activities!
