Carnival Freedom Cabin Question...

[DaisyGirl55]

We are researching a cruise on Carnival's Freedom for next year. As this is a fairly new ship, I was wondering if anyone has come across a list yet of cabins that may show which ones are best - which ones do you hear alot of noise - which ones have obstructed views and so forth.

 

We usually go with a guaranteed cabin, and have always been placed in great room. As this cruise will be 8 days, I just don't want to get stuck in a "bad" cabin and be miserable.

 

If I am assigned a cobin with a guarantee, can we still change it before the sail date?

 

Anyone have some tips for me?

Freedom is the same, basically, as the other Conquest Class ships, except for a few new amenities...:)

 

They are all nice ships... I prefer the Spirit Class for 'ease of movement', but have sailed on the Liberty and am booked on the Freedom for December 2009!:D

 

Any cabin on a cruise ship, is better than a day at work! ;)

I see you sailed the Glory-- Freedom will be laid out exactly like the Liberty. The names of the public rooms are changes as is the decor--but everything else.....

 

If booking a guarantee rate--- its very rare that the cruiselines will make changes--kinda defeats the purpose of a guarantee. If it could be done I am sure many people will be booking that way jsut to take a chance.

 

On deck 5 across the isle from the casino bar a band sets up after 9pm. You dont want a cabin above that area.

 

On the deck 5 aft there are lounges-- you do NOT wnt a cabin above the stage area of these lounges... being above the seating area is fine. So a few cabins on the side-aft are not good choices.

 

Lido deck--under the pool area you might hear scraping of chairs.

 

you also want to avoid cabins under the kitchen areas at the buffet.

To Amelia's list, add 8336 It is directly under an area of the Lido deck where there are chairs and tables constantly being moved - and an area that gets a lot of attention from the middle of the night cleaning crews....so there is constant scraping and moving of chairs and tables overhead.... :/
