robin32470 Posted October 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I just booked a cruise on the Freedom ship for 9/22/14 5 days to Ocho Rios & Grand Cayman. Haven't ever been to either location so we are definitely excited. If anyone has sailed on Freedom, how did you like it? We booked a balcony cabin on Lido Deck 9274. Once you go balcony, you never go back LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparty1 Posted October 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Our first on Freedom also. Same ports, but in Dec. Does any know how this cabin would rate? It is at very front. Thx for any input!

rockbock Posted October 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2013 By the time you get on the Freedom, it will have undergone a major dry dock, so it's sort of irrelevant to seek current opinions on the ship. I say this because I'd hate to see you scared off from it. I was on the Freedom two weeks ago and it was BY FAR the ugliest Carnival ship I've been on. The service was poor too. However, I still had an amazing time and I am convinced that the ship will look amazing once it comes out of dry dock. All of the other ships have...

rockbock Posted October 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Forgot to mention...I had cabin 9202 and LOVED it. I always love booking the cabins at the front of the ship, but this was my first time on the Lido deck and that made it even better. Obviously, it's nice to be near the food. But the other good thing about being on the Lido deck, which isn't necessarily quite as obvious until you experience it, is that you never have to wait for an elevator. Everybody seems to be heading to or from Lido, so the elevators are stopping there constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belles Posted October 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2013 We sailed on the Freedom last September and are going again in a few short weeks. That was the first time on the Lido deck and loved it. I enjoyed the ship it was actually my favorite Carnival ship before I went on the Breeze. I've been on the Pride, Imagination, Freedom and Breeze....Freedom was my 2nd favorite. I'm sure you will enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIZZ_K Posted October 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I enjoyed my b2b on The Freedom in August, I was in cabin 7230 the first leg and 7228 on the second leg, I never had any issues with service for the two weeks that I was on the ship.

CJinFLA00 Posted October 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We've done the 6 day Freedom 4 times. Great ship and great service. We stayed on the Lido deck balcony 3 times and once on panorama deck. Great cabins and location. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay49307 Posted October 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2013 DW & I were on the Freedom last year she was a fun ship. We had room 2477 it was bigger than a "normal" room. We stopped in Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Key West. Had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Stingray City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireEater Posted October 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was on her in April. Service, food, and cabin were 5 stars. They were working there wait staff pretty hard, but all was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, our Freedom experience was totally different! Loved the ship, had excellent service everywhere. Our itinerary wa eastern -- St. Thomas, Tortola, Antigua and Nassau -- it was our best cruise ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinfamof4 Posted October 28, 2013 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We just did this cruise in August, except ours was 6 days. We loved this cruise, it was our top. In Grand Cayman we did stingray city and snorkeling and LOVED every second. In Jamaica, there was a tropical low so it ruined our beach time. You will love the Freedom, the CD and his crew are great, we, including our teen boys, had a great time. We were on deck 7-empress, balcony, it was great. Just basically everything was great!

momof4boys Posted October 28, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Freedom is our favorite ship. Loved the crew and the layout of the ship. Can't wait to sail her again. Also it is true that a cruise is what you make it!! Happy sailing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedBlueWater Posted October 28, 2013 #20 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We loved the Freedom too! Did the 6 day to Key West, Ochi and GC. last Feb. I second (or third) the recommendation to go to stingray city, it was very cool! We had no problems with the ship or service and I'm sure it will be even better after dry dock.

This just proves that no two people's opinions are the same. We sailed on her in February on an 8 day cruise and loved her. The crew was the most friendliest we have come across in seven cruises. The decor was different but we thought by no means ugly. We still think she was the best ship we've been on so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
