Carnival Freedom 6 Day Review with Pictures 01/22/2012

[01 Cobra]

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience and all of your wonderful photos. It looks like you had a great time and picked up quite a few ships on a stick! Nicely done!

I will be on the Freedom for the third time in August. I must say, I think this might be the best review I have ever read. It was so good I almost forgot I even cruised the Freedom already:confused:. I cant wait to take it again.Thank you so much for the time you put into this review. It was appreciated.

 

Thank you for your kind words. We're looking at possibly doing another cruise on the Freedom. We loved it that much!

[navybaby1113]

Oh I have two questions. Usually Carnival cruises have mexican night party. It usually starts around 11. Did they have that? Also I noticed you said earlier that there was no midnight meals on the lido deck. There were instead light snacks elsewhere. Was this during the whole cruise? I asked because my husband and son enjoy going up to the Lido late at night for a burger and cookies to go

 

I don't remember ever seeing a Mexican deck party this cruise. I just asked my husband and he said he didn't remember it either.

 

Yes, the light snacks were throughout the entire cruise. I also love going up to the Lido late at night to grab some fries and pizza. Was pretty disappointed they didn't have that.

I Loved your review! We are going on our first cruise in August on the Destiny. But, we are already planning a cruise for the beginning of next year and getting to know some of the other ships!

 

Have a great first cruise! You'll get addicted quickly!

There was a party on the Lido the last night of the cruise, it started around 11pm. I'm not sure if it was a Mexican party though, but they did end up forming a long Congo line and there was plenty of dancing.

 

I thought the pizza bar was open all night. I went up there one night at 4am and got a slice. It was pretty greasy so I did not bother getting anymore.

I know you said you took 1000 pictures. I really would like to see all the pools, hot tubs and the spa if you have any? I saw one of a band by the pool and one with the slide in the background and two hot tubs. But if you have any others, I would love to see them!

 

Great review. Thanks

There was pizza and room service 24/7. Other than that though, the only other food available late at night (11-1am I think were the hours) were the snacks at the sushi bar.

 

I really missed having the grill open late at night.

Great review. Thanks

 

Hmm...this looks like the only picture I have of the pool/hot tubs. This was the mid-ship pool.

 

[navybaby1113]

Oh, here's another picture. This one shows the pool near the water slide.

Just to verify there is no 24 hour pizza and ice cream station? My kids will be bummed but oh well. Everything looks so great. We leave April 1 and it cannot come soon enough now! Thanks for your review.

[Folsom]

Yes, there is 24 hour Pizza and Ice Cream on Freedom.

 

I just got off of her last week.

 

-F-

I loved all your pictures. Freedom's my favorite ship.

Cruised on the Freedom for this 6 night cruise back in March 2009. It is a great cruise to go on just to get away and have fun! The ship was very nice and the entertainment + food were also great!

[tappyZ]

Great pics...Keep the report coming!! I am on the Freedom in 10 days!

[Cflagg918]

Do you have any copies of the fun times you could post?? Going on the same cruise next month!!

[Hairy Dog Cruiser]

I am also looking for the copy of the fun times for this cruise as well. In case you still have them.

Thanks !

Your review was wonderful, made me feel like I was right there with you. We sail on the 6 night in June, can't wait. Thank you so much for your review.

Hi Navybaby, Thank you so much for posting the pictures of your room. I just booked our 6th cruise for me and my husband. First time on the Freedom, 6th time with Carnival. We are booked in the same shaped room on the other side of the ship, same floor. Question? Was there steps right outside your room? Thanks, Meandmyhoneygoneagain from Clearwater FL

[annrkey]

Thank you so much for your review so far. We are on the Freedom in less than three weeks. I am getting so excited reading and looking at your photos.

 

Did you happen to snap copies of the daily menus? Finding menus for the 6 day cruise is next to impossible.

 

Your room sure was good sized.

 

Looking forward to reading more as you post.

 

Mainescout,

We will be on the Freedom in 3 weeks as well!! We are so excited!!!

[navybaby1113]

I'll double check and see if I still have the Fun Times. If I do, I'll scan them while I'm at work tomorrow.

They're crew steps and behind a closed door. The only time we go to use them was during the muster drill.

 

You're going to love the room!

I know its been awhile, since you finished this- but I just read it, and wanted to thank you for your great review! You did a wonderful job! :D
