Great review. We’re sailing on the freedom November 2024. Hopefully some of the cons will be taken care of but we’re super mellow about things. This will be our third cruise with carnival and we always have fun.

This review says Carnival Freedom 2024 but it looks like the video came out a year ago. Carnival Freedom has been to dry dock and has had quite a few upgrades. Maybe you should change your title of the video to reflect the right date. I have seen reviews of the Freedom and it doesn't mention anything that you have mentioned. I will make my own decision in 3 weeks when I sail on the Freedom March 2024.

I’m trying to book a cruise in 2024, and the Freedom is the only one that fits what we want. I heard its is supposed to be dry docked in 2023, so hopefully they fix these issues before we sail out.

Yes, the bed and especially the linens! Good, Lord I wanted to take tthe bed and the linnen home with me!

I was on the sunshine in March and it was so great so i hope the freedom is a great experience as well

We went on the Freedom at the end of January 2024. It was our first cruise so no frame of reference. There was still a slight sewage smell but it seemed to only be in the cabin hallways. That same broken window is still there, yes some of the lines were really disappointing. We still had fun and would do it again, really wanting to try a newer ship next time.

I will be on the Freedom in 25 days... Thanks for the warning!

Very in depth summary ..Yes ,ships tooo crowded & service def suffering . So far in 2022 what's BB's favorite ship?

Thanks for the video.. We are booked on the Freedom for Jan 23

I just got off a 4 day on the Freedom. I am sorry to say but the staff is by and large rude. I assume it is because they are overworked but nonetheless, I did not expect to wait in such long lines only to be begrudgingly served and assisted. The boat and facilities are what you would expect for that price, but the long lines caused because the boat is so full and there is not enough crew, make it tough to take.

I am going on the freedom in November for five day Caribbean cruise so hopefully things have changed

I’m going on the freedom from Barcelona in October. It’s supposed to go into dry dock for repairs and a new tail.

What kind of stateroom did you have?

I went on Mardi Gras Sept 2021 , just a few months after restart after covid . I was disappointed. I had more fun in 2019 on the Fantasy. Bigger isn’t always better. We are booked on the Freedom in May 2023, it’s got to be better than Mardi Gras, LOL. The layout of MG was way to cramped, I like the older layout of the ships.

Freedom due for drydock oct 2023..hope not pushed back..we on her Dec 2023.

Cruising freedom January 11th if your going to say HI 👋

The last time I smelled the 💩was when I was on the Ecstasy two times...😬 I will be on the freedom in jaurary. Hope for a great time☺️..

Can you show me a reminders

Good information mate! We sailed on the Carnival Liberty twice. April cruise this year there was no smell of sewage anywhere we walked on the ship. This last September cruise there was a smell of sewage which was confined to an area around the hallway near the customer service desk and their public restrooms nearby. Nowhere else did I smell it on the ship. There must be an explanation of what happening. My thought was passengers are dumping trash in the toilets causing them to vent the pressure of blocked sewage pipes. The weekend crowd tends to be more non-cruisers and boorish behavior is more likely if the cruise ticket price is rock bottom. I have found if you take a cruise (non-weekend) the very last week of April/first week of May or the 1st or 2nd week of December the cruise ship isn't as crowded at all. Most kids are in school including colleges. I am so looking forward to sailing on the Carnival Freedom! Thanks for doing this video!

I am buying alot of refreshners from store

You’re should stop cruising. The Carnival Freedom is a Wonderful ship. I wonder how you would had felt when the shower and the toilet was in the same place, and they actually had bunk beds. That’s was on the original Mardi Gras back in the days. Today people don’t go on cruises to relax anymore and to get away from the rat races. After the Pandemic is a lot of things change on all cruise lines.

The Freedom is over crowded, the food is awful. The beds when separate are NOT twin size. They are so small that you risk falling off the bed. The ship is dirty, the passengers are low class. Girl in a thong sitting basically bare assed on a chair with nothing between her and the fabric. On day one some guy reached in barehanded and grabbed cookies off the tray. Their was standing room only in all venues at all times. Very uncomfortable. The steak house was the only decent meal we had. Steak like shoe leather, a chicken breast smaller than the tines of a fork and dried out mystery meat on the buffet. It was an awful experience. Never again. The comedian we saw was not funny. Used the n word constantly and kept losing track of the joke.

you are there to enjoy the getaway not to judge the boat, you should have stayed home or spent more money on a luxury ship. So many people complaining but you took the time to book the cruise..... Some of these reviews are a waste or air time...
