VentureMan_2000 Posted September 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Lot's of discussion regarding specific Carnival cruises that are suppose to stop in Freeport. The cruises that were to stop there are still going to stop there to bring supplies to the storm damaged island. Acknowledging this... and a number here on CC saying they will not miss this port... why would anyone want to stop there... ? Before the storm, what did Freeport have to offer ?

PhillyFan33579 Posted September 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Freeport has (or had) some good excursions, but there wasn’t much to do within walking distance of the port...very limited shopping and food/drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDisconnections Posted September 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The people on the Bahamas Celebration line seem to enjoy Freeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted September 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2019 We haven't been there yet, but we're interested to see "Carnival's largest cruise port in the world" when it's done (projected to be finished late 2021). I know a lot of people complain about "cookie cutter" cruise ports and the Carnival-built port complexes in general, but if Freeport isn't well liked anyway, there's nothing to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted September 12, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Freeport had wonderful snorkeling excursions. And wonderful people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureMan_2000 Posted September 12, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I've heard that folks enjoyed visiting Grand Lucayan Resort... I guess you could get a day pass ? However, they are closed due to Dorian. That side of the island fared the storm pretty well compared to other parts of the island. Damage, Yes... but not the destruction the rest of the island endured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolOne56 Posted September 13, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2019 We went to Freeport on the Pride in 2011. The beach was not crowded. I can't remember the name of this beach. Maybe someone will recognize this beach. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
