lilgolf1 Posted November 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2013 We were on the Freedom this past week and had a great time but were disappointed in this cruise compared to the other Carnival cruises (2 others) that we were previously on. It seems the economy feel of this line is more apparent than ever before. The ship is dated and the service was not nearly as impressive as before. We were previously on the Liberty and Imagination.

rdevine10 Posted November 30, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This is 2 weeks in a row people have stated they were unhappy with the Freedom. Service and ship. Not exactly what I was hoping for since Ill be on the last sailing prior to dry dock :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIZZ_K Posted November 30, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I did a b2b in August on her and didn't have any issues, I'm sailing her again on December 9th, I'm hoping for a great cruise like always, I've been on 11 cruises and haven't had a bad one yet ( knock on wood ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted November 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I was on the 11/16 sailing and we had a great time. Service was excellent !:) Oh, I did see some rust on the Lido Deck steps. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameliaw Posted November 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2013 have never had a bad cruise. some were just better than others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganboys Posted November 30, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) have never had a bad cruise. some were just better than others! imo this is the key. so many people seem to be disappointed because their cruise wasn't as good as prior cruises. each cruise is different each ship is different. sail with an open mind and have a great cruise. in my book any day on the sea is better than a day at work or even a day off hanging out at home.

cxvillar Posted December 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2013 leaving on her this Thurs…any specifics I should know? Shows? Comedians? How was the weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted December 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2013 We were on it in Sept for a 8 day and had a wonderfull time. It was my 10th cruise on Carnival and would rate it a 10. Weather, service, food, all a 10. It is a few years old and is going into dry dock for upgrades in April. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryhou Posted December 1, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2013 We will be sailing on her 12/28. I know we'll have a great time. :D we are on this sailing also. You should join our roll call......it's a bit slow right now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkabrk Posted December 2, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Did they have the holiday decorations up? I heard they were decorating the ship on Nov 24. We sailed the week before and really enjoyed it. Service was very good -- just finished my post cruise survey!

somesong12 Posted December 2, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I am also shocked. The color scheme on the Freedom is what I think could make it look "dated" but it isn't that old. It had it's first sailing in 2007. We loved the Freedom and will be excited with the dry dock is over so we can head back out on her! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted December 2, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2013 We have been on the Freedom many times and just recently Oct.5th and had a wonderful time and terrific crew. Going back on her Jan.11th. Can't wait to be her again!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
