Tell me what to not miss on Carnival Freedom?

[Martini Mom]

I haven't been on a ship with the 2.0 upgrades, so I'm really looking forward to checking those out on the Freedom in July :D

 

Can someone give me a little info about what the taste bar is?

[kadeycat]

I. The fish and chips area they make a Bouillabase soup that is A-amazing. It takes a few minutes but its worth it.

[MaiTaiMary]

Any new Freedom tips? :D

[Jenniell]

I can give you some in a few weeks. We leave on the 25th.

Sun King Steakhouse

Ashby (a buddy of mine from Nashville) is taking a break from cruise contracts for awhile.

 

The Freedom still boasts two of my favorite cruise directors in Jen Baxter and Wee Jimmy, depending on when you sail her.

Piano bar was awesome. I don't remember who the pianist was in March but he was phenomenal

[dmdiver]

Guy's Burgers, Alchemy Bar, comedy shows, serenity - clam shells are great for relaxing or napping - there are hot tubs up there as well.

Alchemy Bar.

 

Freedom is a fantastic ship. We had a great cruise on her last summer.

Tell me the must do's on carnival freedom?

 

Some of my favorites from that class of ship:

 

The supper club, or whatever CCL is calling them nowadays.

 

The observation decks at the front of the ship, accessible via the doors all the way forward on some of the upper cabin decks.

 

The aft pool area with the sliding dome, usually less kids there and it has its own bar.

I'm sailing the freedom in 6 months and it's my first cruise! I'm so excited but mostly for the alchemy bar, a massage at the spa, and the comedy shows! Has anyone done yoga on the ship? Do they have it and how is it? Thank you!

What makes the Alchemy Bar stand out from other bars? :)

What makes the Alchemy Bar stand out from other bars? :)

 

It's a place where you can tell your bartender what type of drink you like & they will concoct something for you. It's on the promenade, so you can people watch while you enjoy your new favorite drink. Just a neat place to go.

quest if they have it and also the love and marriage show.

we like trivia type games so we try to catch some of those.

Harry, best room steward ever

 

Roger, the best waiter ever. He made toys out of napkins and paper for my kids and was so nice

 

Dr Suess breakfast

[Redphotog]

The Alchemy Bar makes awesome drinks! After your last port day you can sign up for a unannounced mixology class that is a lot of fun and good bargin, it happens on the last sea day. Sign up for the Dr Suess breakfast, its worth the $5. The Sun King is also the best dinner on the ship!

We love Fish and Chips! Fried oysters. Can't get enough of these.

Here's my detailed photo review of the Freedom :)

[High Seas Texan]

Thanks for posting the pics and for the comments on the ship. I am sailing August 29 and getting so excited!

[The Phoenixx]

Subscribing to everything Freedom. Thanks for the thread.

I think all Carnival ships have sail away parties. Seems like I've always watched or participated in them up on Lido deck - line dancing, conga line, etc.

For a sweet FREE treat, that does not feel as frivolous as the free soft serve ice cream or forzen yogurt, try a cup of the hot chocolate that is nearby the coffee stations. It is surprisingly delicious, and while I do not know the calorie count, it just seems less decadent than the ice cream or desserts. This is true for ALL Carnival ships, not just Freedom. Hint: put your cup under the spigot, push the button once, then wait. I thought a few of the machines were not working, when I finally realized you have to wait a few seconds after one push.
