mrBit Posted August 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Are you kidding me!!!????? It has been a while since we sailed Carnival and my 10 year old loved Freddy and got his younger brothers to be fans. So we get on the Dream, can't find Freddy and they tell me that Freddy is discontinued.... Oh... hell no! My kids were devastated. They did like the force dancers and Dr. Sues but really wanted Freddy. So Carnival, it does not take much... you still have all the costumes and such, just bring him out once and while.. at least for the kids. Freddy is legend in my house... keep Freddy alive!

ShakyBeef Posted August 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2014 OK, let's see if this works 9trying to post link to specific post in an old, closed thread that got off on a FF tangent.

I said to DH and oldest DD(12) a few minutes ago, "Funship Freddy is no more." DD, without missing a beat said "Good! That thing was creepy!" That's my girl.:D And DH said, "What, did they finally figure out he was scaring people?" This is the best news I've heard from Carnival in years.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted August 26, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Do they still have the towel elephant? Does he have a name? We had our photo taken with the elephant earlier this month on Glory. No idea if he/she has a name, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassykitten74 Posted August 26, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 26, 2014 lol he was so creepy! My daughter was brave enough to get on stage for the talent show, but freaked when Freddy joined her on stage. He wanted to hug her but she wasn't having it!!

Rare Honolulu Blue Posted August 26, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I don't scare easily. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Bozo and other clowns (even Biffo), Ronald McDonald, the Burger King... none of them have ever scared me at all. Funship Freddy, however, DOES scare me. I can live without seeing it ever again, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
