sassy~one Posted May 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm thinking about booking! Has anyone sailed her? Your thoughts please? sassy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted May 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It a very nice ship. Wife and I did the 8 day eastern last December. Weather the first week of Dec was 75-80 all week. Ship is clean,food good,commedians were so-so. I rate it near the top and i have been on 8 Carnival cruises and 1 RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendarudd28 Posted May 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've only been on three ships, but the Freedom has been my absolute favorite. Forgive me for sounding like Goldilocks, but the Inspiration was too small and the Dream was too big. The Freedom was just right. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGirlJen Posted May 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I went on the Freedom a year ago and liked it. I also booked her again for this December. it's a bigger ship, about 110,000 tons, so it is nice to have that extra weight/size, but it's also not a mega ship. Like another posted said, she's just right :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2dsny Posted May 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2012 We are traveling on her in July. Can't wait. Just wondering, does anyone know if the balcony partitions are able to be opened between rooms? If so, how many can we have opened? We have 3 balcony rooms and wanted to be able to hang out there together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJinFLA00 Posted May 9, 2012 #16 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We liked the Freedom so much the first time, we did the exact same cruise in the same cabin 2 years later. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybaby1113 Posted May 9, 2012 #17 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Loved the Freedom. I would say it was our favorite cruise so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherC430 Posted May 9, 2012 #18 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just off the Freedom last week on a back-to-back! It's a great ship! Loved every minute of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbound Posted May 9, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You will like the ship it is my favorite of all the ships and the ship sails from Port Everglades which real great because I am from CT and I fly direct to FLL. Have a good time Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNKEITH Posted May 9, 2012 #20 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We sailed the Freedom 2/25-3/4 and it was excellent! I wrote a reveiw recently, but it has not been added to the site yet. I had read a lot of negative reviews before we sailed (but after we booked). However, none of the negatives affected us having a great time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartpoco Posted May 9, 2012 #23 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I notice she docks back in Fort Lauderdale at 8am, on Sundays, with 5 or 6 other ships in port, including (I think) Oasis? Can anybody comment on how it was getting off Freedom and out to the FLL airport on a Sunday? Was it hard to get a taxi? Were lines at the airport insane? Seems like the other ships dock earlier in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the other ships dock earlier in the morning... We had no problem at all though we did Luggage Express. We were off the boat by 9:00 a.m. and sitting comfortable at our gate at about 9:30 for our 11:15 a.m. flight home. No problems on the ship or in the airport. We just walked out of the terminal and took a taxi to the airport. Smooth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody comment on how it was getting off Freedom and out to the FLL airport on a Sunday? Was it hard to get a taxi? Were lines at the airport insane? Seems like the other ships dock earlier in the morning... We debarked on 4/29 and did NOT use self-assist. We were assigned group 7 for debarkation and were called at about 9:30AM. We were off and in the terminal with a porter in hand, with our luggage waiting for Customs check by 9:45 and at the airport by 10:15. Even though Carnival is using terminal 29 (which is new for them), the debark was smooth (can't say the same for embarkation) and there was a line of taxi's outside waiting for passengers. The FLL airport was not bad in terms of lines or anything - at least, nothing out of the ordinary and things moved pretty smoothly. Also, you mention 5 or 6 other ships in port in FLL, that will not be the case for the remainder of the summer as HAL, Celebrity and Princess pull their ships for Alaska, Europe and other itineraries. Only RCI's Allure, Oasis and the Freedom will be in FLL until sometime this Fall and only one of them (either Allure or Oasis) will be in port the same time as the Freedom - not both.
