kaylahszoo Posted August 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2009 We sailed on the Freedom in June. We were on the Panorama Deck & loved how close it was to the pools and the buffet. And loved the night big screen movies. Would grab a drink and stretch out. Just too bad they didn't have movies every night. I really like the fish & chips restaurant. Went there several times. Also liked the deli sandwich station at the buffet (as you work your way around the inner circle of food- it is one of the 2 on the side) Had great REAL turkey sandwiches, Ruebens, etc. On the other side station was the Mexican window. Had great seafood quesadillas. Can you tell we like our food. Mongollian Grill was a hit, too, but seemed to take forever in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin'Trooper Posted August 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2009 We enjoyed this class of ship's layout. I like the Freedom because it has been retrofitted with the big screen movie under the stars which is nice at night. Food was typical Carnival, which is good and their Carnival Classics on the menu are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvmypuggle Posted August 30, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks, everyone! Seems like everyone is in agreement that we'll be enjoying the food. :D I loved that they added the big screen out by the pool when I went on the Victory last summer.. But they never showed movies. I actually can't wait to be outdoors at night watching a movie by the pool.. I may just be packing a small blanket for that this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it easier to watch movies w/o people walking in front of you. I used a towel from the room as a blanket. On our cruise in Aug, they showed a movie every night and beach scenes in the am.

cardinalfan Posted August 30, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2009 When we were on the Freedom in March, they actually passed out blankets from the little towel shack to use while you are watching movies at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DqALEX Posted August 30, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I was on the Freedom last New Years. The one thing I didn't like was that it was only 6 nights. 7 or 8 would be better. The ship it self is one of carnivals best. IMO the Freedom and the Miracle are my 2 favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted August 30, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Let's see: --8 days --extra wide hallways on cabin decks, so no need to shuffle awkwardly by people --Future Cruise desk, to purchase those $100 certificates --Lots of elevators --The ship is still in very, very good shape --Nice TWISTER slide. It was fast! CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osiebosie Posted August 30, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2009 What I DIDN'T like was that we had to get off of the ship... Shay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvk Posted August 30, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I loved the fact it was new when we were on it in the Mediterranean last Oct & that we had an awesome Aft Cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted August 31, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2009 1. The food. All MDR meals, the Grill (DD loved the Turkey & Cheese), and the Fish & Chips (Only food we did not care for was the Pizza) 2. The layout. DD and DS loved it that an ice cream machine was straight up the elevators from our room. Even though this was the largest ship we have been on, it didn't feel like we walked any extra. 3. The service. 4. The CD. John Heald was the best CD we ever had. 5. 8 night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted August 31, 2009 #15 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We know that we would love to be on the Freedom right now. One of the best things about any cruise is that you are on a wonderful cruise vacation. Away from all the normal daily things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcjeep4life Posted August 31, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I love that I'll be on it right before you! :D I'll try not to take too long getting off, knowing you're there waiting to get on! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronkay Posted August 31, 2009 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2009 DW and I sailed on her last march and was our favorite after 5 ccl cruises. Large screen on the Ledo, Concerts during the afternoon and movies at night with popcorn great service and meals in the MDR best cruise ship meal ever in the Super club, went back 2 nights later definitely worth the xtra $30. fish and chips is sort of hidden over the buffet, never a line and very good.

ladybug97 Posted August 31, 2009 #18 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We were on the Freedom for 2 Mediterranean cruises and it she was fab-o!! As others have said, we also loved the Fish & Chips, movies at the out door theater (with the blankets and popcorn!!), Mini-Golf and the Mexican bar. Not sure how long of a cruise you will have but hope you get to experience the chocolate buffet too!! It is great! We also had excellent service in the dining room. It was our best ever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
