Review summary

THIS WAS A CONVENIENT PORT TO SAIL OUT OF AND A GREAT CRUISE TO TAKE FOR OUR GROUP OF 11 (5 OF WHOM WERE 1ST TIME CRUISERS) THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT FROM ALL THE STAFF. THE DINING ROOM EXPERIENCE AND STAFF WAS THE BEST PART AND "MY TIME DINING" ROCKS!! WE ENJOYED THE PORTS AND WEATHER WAS GREAT EVEN DURING THE HURRICANRE SEASON. I WOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND THIS CRUISE AND CRUISE LINE TO ANYONE. OUR REP (CHRISTINE H.) WAS THE BEST! VERY ATTENTIVE TO OUR NEEDS AND CONSTANT REQUESTS AND MADE THE PROCESS MUCH SMOOTHER.

IF YOU GET A 4 PERSON BALCONY CABIN YOU SHOULD EXPECT A FUTON TYPE BED (MADE FROM THE IN CABIN SOFA) FOR THE 3RD AND 4TH PERSONS I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT I SEE HOW PEOPLE MIGHT NOT BE AS LAID BACK AS I AM

Ship tip

THEY ARE LOOSE ON THE NON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE RULES ON THIS SHIP WE HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING OUR BTL WATER AND SODA ON BOARD IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE BUT ANYONE CRUISING ON FREEDOM SHOULD BE OK. AND FIND THE HELIPAD AT THE FRONT. IT IS A GREAT PLACE FOR VIEWS AT SEA.

When you book just educate yourself... booking with a reputable company (when not using the cruise line) reading reviews and knowing the refund/cxlation policy keeps you protected Internet travel sites cruiseline.com make it easy to do this...enjoy and happy cruising

I would say book ahead because some tend to fill up fast. We ended up not using one at a port and were happily refunded.

You can book thru Carnival now. If for some reason the Captain decides to reroute, Carnival will refund your $ in full.

Do you recommend booking trips first or book on board ship find this confusing because what would happen you book a certain trip and then you don't end up calling into that port ?
