TrinaLC Posted October 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I can't get search to work - if anyone can, could you please link to (if there is one) any "all things Freedom" Also - I gather Freedom has not had 2.0 upgrades. Will we likely be disappointed after having recently sailed Glory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nylori Posted October 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2013 We were on the Freedom in August for 8 nights. If you have any specific questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario_Cruiser Posted October 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When are you travelling? Freedom will be in an extended (6 week?) drydock in the spring, and no one seems certain what changes will occur during that time. But certainly it will be getting the 2.0 changes, and maybe more.

rockbock Posted October 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I was on the Freedom 10/5/13 - 10/13/13. I have to admit, I was disappointed. I still loved my cruise, but the ship was very drab and ugly compared to the Liberty (sister ship). I hated the layout of the Lido pool area (looked very small and closed in). The service was the worst I've seen yet on Carnival. However, you could have a completely different experience if you are booking post-drydock. I'm sure it's going to look like a new ship once it gets its makeover. Looking forward to the Glory in a few weeks. I heard it's a lot more like Liberty than the Freedom was (and I loved the Liberty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted October 23, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted October 23, 2013 We were planning on going pre-dry dock. Based on the reviews (and confirmed by the post above), we've decided to pass on her until she gets her upgrade.. (Figured out the search problem - if you use Advanced Search and want to pull up things with the word search in the Title, you have to set to "Show Posts", not "Show Threads". Since Show Threads is the default, you need to actually change that ... We ended up booking HAL's Eurodam. I'm looking forward to that - I like Carnival a lot, but the Lido deck is now just too noisy - and on the recent Glory trip, so was the Serenity - which is adjacent to the Lido deck and not peaceful at all in many parts. But I'm not leaving Carnival, just looking forward to trying a more sedate product. (My dream day is in a lounger with a book ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 cruzen Posted November 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We just returned from the 8 day Freedom cruise; September 21-29...if I can help. Hi, my friend is sailing on an 8 day Eastern and she was wondering when formal nights are. I told her usually sea days, but there are two sea days right at the beginning. Also, does Freedom have the big movie screen? Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted November 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Don't remember when the Elegant Nights were but I think it was the first sea day. She does have the big TV screen. Edited November 8, 2013 by RWolver672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
