MsMot Posted August 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You're on the week after me. I'll try to leave some WCMC for you. :D Any recent Freedom cruisers got scans of the MDR menu? Menus are the same on all ships. Zydecocruiser has all of them on his page zydecocruiser.net/menus/CarnivalCruiseLineMenus.htm. I personally am looking forward to the new menus soon to be rolling out. Freedom is a great ship! Easy to navigate, Big enough, but not too big. Enjoy your cruise!

I've seen that page. I wondered if there wasn't something more recent than 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL011049 Posted August 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2013 22 day for me too! Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTC Posted August 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2013 As soon as you get on the ship head all the way to the far buffet restaurant (aft) and go upstairs. That is where the fish n chips station is and also extra seating. No one knows about the restaurant up there on the first day so it's empty. Also it was our eating and meeting place because apparently people don't like to do the stairs and its always empty. LOVED the Freedom. Our best cruise yet!!!! Might have to sail on her again in 2015, 8 dayer for sure!! Love sailing out of Ft Lauderdale too. Don't forget to smile for the web cam, and make sure you tell your friends and family to watch for you. You can request a wave on the porteverglades webcam site. My mom watched and actually saw us!! Very cool. Happy sailing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMot Posted August 17, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've seen that page. I wondered if there wasn't something more recent than 2008. Nope, but there will be new menus soon. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that they will be introduced before you sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommiemudd Posted August 17, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So excited! Fish and chips was our meeting place on the Liberty and we plan for that on the Freedom too. There are 16 of us so we plan to hang out there until our rooms are open. any secrets that we should know about the Freedom?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejmar Posted August 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just curious about this cruise. There has been no roll call yet. I booked this for the family and I'm hoping that the ship isn't booked by some large organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpcaruth Posted August 23, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I am not sure that the Freedom is much different than the other Conquest Class ships that have not undergone the 2.0 upgrades. The best thing about the Freedom is that she HAS THE BEST ITINERARIES!!!! We have taken two 8-day cruises (Panama and Southern Caribbean) on her and are planning to take our third on an 8-day Eastern Caribbean. I have picture reviews of our past Freedom cruises: Carnival Freedom to Grand Turk, La Romana, Curacao, and Aruba: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1781515 Carnival Freedom to Panama, Costa Rica, & Cozumel: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1347741 Also, I love the greasy (guilty-pleasure) calamari fritters!

Kelane Posted August 27, 2013 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We won't have to do any stairs to find the fish and chips. Our cabin is on the same deck. And we are leaving tomorrow! We are on Deck 10 (Panorama) on the Freedom Sept 7. Are you saying we can access Fish & Chips from our deck? Nothing shows on the deck plans except for the steak house. Awesome! :D I need to see if you've posted a review yet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
