Reviews of Carnival Cruises Port (Travel Agency)

Aaron Sims

Blocked access to a public handicap ramp at the port of Galveston. Cruise personnel would not let my disabled family members access the ramp. We had a hard time getting on our ship. Not cool Carnival.

I am a former cancer patient. I entered remission just a few months ago and had my leg amputated. This was my first cruise. I want to start off with the musicians. There was music for everybody’s taste. But I enjoyed ALL of them. Luisa, Juliana and Juan in the Accidental String trio were just...the only word to describe it was beautiful. Neil was Jammin’ with the Caribbean music of which I also love. And Rob was rocking it on the guitar. Next I want to say how much I really appreciate how kind, thoughtful, and caring the staff was. They always offered help. I don’t usually accept help but I made some exceptions. I also made some friends on the cruise. The whole experience is one to remember. And as you’re reading this to all of the staff, I just want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I hope I get to meet you all again. Cheers

Rambaldo Rivera

Best place, Love it

P Vest

Hectic, as should be expected, but staff and everyone were really nice a d helpful.

Ed Foojay

I got there late but they got me through fast and friendly

John fabian

Parking was great! Excellent location, just three minutes away from boarding area via their shuttle, and they handle all your baggage and give you an air condition ride. And a good price. Also, on my return, my vehicle had a low tire pressure and they filled it if. No charge.

Corey Brown

It was a pretty painless embarking process.

Rachel Dunn

I was able to explore around Galveston a little bit before boarding for a Caribbean Cruise with Carnival. There are a lot of eateries and "touristy" locations near the Port, so you do not have to wait hours with nothing to do.

Martin Villarreal

Badass

Brittany Dunn

Clean port stop. It's always busy to get on and off the ships but they've done a good job of keeping this port clean. The parking is a little weird but doable.

Bridgette Williams

I really enjoyed the Freedom, the staff is definitely worth their weight in gold. Two thumbs up to our Stewart I Gede. He was pleasant, friendly, and polite. I hope you get the opportunity to use him!!

Marilyn Manriquez

Confusing where to go, but if you ask, you're good. Very busy from people getting on the cruise. Hot. It's not an attractive port at all. The city surrounding it is ugly from old buildings, dirty, train tracks, etc. We were brought here in a van from parking our car in an indoor parking park nearby.

Shawn Ware

The trip overall was great but there are somethings that need to be changed. Pictures from the elegant night are too expensive 21.99 a picture!! They need to make the pictures more affordable for people, we already spent money to get on the cruise why dig into out pockets more? The service for dinner every night was horrible. We were at 4 different tables every night until the end. There was suppose to be set tables and it wasn't like that..those are just a few things that need to be changed

Ken Baker

Fun cruise. Great crew, awesome cruise director!

Samuel Lewis

This is a very good cruise line and this is my favorite cruise ship. It's like being home on the ocean. So relaxing and great food and fun. You will love this cruise line.

Stan Koz

My wife and I had a fantastic time. Staff and entertainers were wonderful.

J Black

Easy going in, and usually easy going out, but then again I always pay a porter to lug our luggage out thru customs and the tax area.

Hunter Monte

We took the Freedom to Belize, Cozumel, and Roatan. Food was good. Disappointing that after 11 only free food is pizza. Room service charges after 10. Beds were comfortable. We were interior with bunks that came down over our heads. Will bang your head if you forget they are there in the middle of the night. Comedy shows were good. Not much to do after midnight. Excursions were twice the price than booking on your own. Can't buy all inclusive drink package unless everyone in your room buys it. Very disappointing since only 2 out of 4 of us drink.

Michelle McGill

Port employees are always so nice and eager to help, it is always a quick process with them. Port is clean and the port parking is reasonable even though we stayed at the indoor parking

Eric Pressley

Most definitely an experience everyone should have at least once . We made it through the port no problems the cruise ship was clean ,fun,and everything we expected. The crew blew expectations out of the water. Definitely a wonderful experience.

Paul Tapia

Once they find my baby stroller and ship it back I'll maybe give them a better review........

kameisha nelson

Easy to navigate and quicker check ins!

Wayne Adams

It was my first time on a cruise and I loved it , if you can go on one I would recommend it. And have fun, the food and fun and shows were great. It was our honeymoon and we had a blast.

Wesley Voorhies

Was nervous for first cruise. Terminal was easy to navigate. Lots of bodies, but no problem moving through. I wholeheartedly endorse the Fast to the Fun, for reserved seating, early boarding, and what felt like favoritism among other passengers. Luggage was dropped off on the far East side of the terminal, so a trek back to center with carry on bags. A taxi driver gave us the friendly directions. I recommend the VIP parking directly across the street.

Carly Clark

Had a great week. Loved the staff.

Nina Santos

Loved it very nice and friendly

Donald Ballew

Boarding went real smooth had a very nice lady checking us in was very friendly

Tracy Anthony

My fiance and i really enjoyed our vacation on the Carnival Freedom. It was the best every. Thanks for the wonderful service and your amazing staff members. I will be cruising with Carnival real soon...

OffCenter Larry

Pretty well organized. A lot of walking involved, as in other ports.

Diamond Gray

Wonderful employees. So friendly as usual. I really enjoyed Chloe the captain's generosity

Tracy Lee

This was my husband and I first cruise and we enjoyed every minute of it. We went on a 7 day Caribbean vacation and we will be going again next year. Everyone on the the ship (the crew) was awesome!!! The stewards (I Made) was the best!!! He wrote a Happy Birthday wish on the mirror in our room and that made my birthday so special!!! It was so relaxing and stress free and the Spa was great!!! Thanks Carnival for my cruising experience!!!

Justin Groves

Get to port early parkinging traffic is crazy

Wallace Anderson

Great beginnings. Right on to the ship, very little waiting when you're on time. Everyone was very nice

Roxanne Galvan

This was our 4th cruise, love everything but the fact if you spend money on jewelry ($3000.00+). You will be pulled aside and treated like a criminal carrying drugs. They went thru all of our luggages. The 2nd time was for a bottle of rare scotch. So I advise anyone cruising not to purchase over $800. We were embarrassed in front of our family and friends. And new friends that we met on cruise, as were escorted out.

Mark Buser

Nice plays fast and friendly service very friendly people

Chris Reed

Very slow, unorganized, took 3 hrs from pull up to drop off bags, park and board ship. We are priority boarding, so after we got to a place it was recognized, it went quickly to board.

Brian Kelley

Advertise celiac safe and it is not. Everything costs extra, and way to many people trying to sell you stuff while on the boat.

William Woronkewycz

Very beautiful port

Arletta Jackson

It was very quick, easy & painless. That was the fastest we have ever gone through customs.

Chris Burres

Easy to navigate. Lots of help. No problems.

Mike Yost

The facilities are decent and the flow for embarking passengers is okay. The interior flow through security is just fine and dandy, but having to leave your checked bags at one end of the place and then having to lug the rest of your unchecked bags to the other side and up and through was annoying. The disembarking wasn’t bad, just long twisty lines. What can you expect though with 2,000+ people getting off?

Chelsea Spires

Love this cruise port!! Even parking off site is great with the shuttles!! The embarkation process was so fast we didn’t even have to wait in the building at all!!!

Evelyn Hollingsworth

Priority check in is the way to go. No waiting. Process was very fast and smooth. Great job Carnival.

C. J. H.

The biggest problem with Carnival is that they nickel and dime for everything. It gets old. Most of their baseline workers (stewards waiters etc) are fine. However dealing with their customer service is extremely frustrating— if you’re on the boat expect long CS lines. Also, if you run into a “supervisor” named Dusan Miskovic — you’ll see why CS desk is the worst part altogether of the cruise.

Connie Gonzales

Been on 3 cruises, love everyone of them.

Guy Caldwell

This was the easiest time I have had on any cruise so far. Both to enter and exit the port. Made the trip even better when you dont have long delays.

Rick Nunez

The port could use a facelift from it's current state, however it's not too bad to navigate around. Look forward to visiting again real soon.

Essie Stewart

Nice ship with the best hamburgers I ever tasted in my whole life. Very busy, lots of people on ship.

Robert Marley

Carnival port has really streamlined in the last few years. My wife and I are regular cruisers and the check in process has gone from 2 hours to less than 20 minutes. Plenty of employees to direct passengers and help everyone.

Yellow Bee

Place are easy and the line is reasonable enjoy your vacation

Danielle Tiegen

Easier getting on the boat than getting off. Easier than Florida ports.

Vincent Lee

Out of three different cruise company, Carnival has proven to be the most fun from on deck entertainment and staff engagement. I have been on a Carnival Cruise twice and both were very memorable. You will never be bored on board between destination as there are tons of activities fitting different interests. I was particularly interested in the dance classes and got to participate in a Flash Mob and a finale show with the casts. The latter was especially fun since I got a back-stage pass to the prep work, rehearsals, and final performance. No to mention that all the dancing help burn calories for more food!

Debbie Rumfield

We love carnival. It is filled with tons of activities and great food for all ages. Choose the 7 day ship to have a wonderful trip and time to enjoy your vacation both on the ship as well as in the ports of call.

Rosalva Sierra

Amazing experience really good organized crew.

Patti Hays

Had a wonderful time!! Wish i did 7 days instead of 5

Derrick Lewis

Went on Carnival Freedom with the family had a awesome time staff was friendly and helpful definitely

Terry Myers

Staff was excited for us. They were friendly and helpful, very quick to give instructions. They helped make waiting in the short line fun. Terminal process was organized and the wait was short. The terminal was clean and well air conditioned consider the amount of people.

Bo Wang

Nice cruise and easy to find port, sometime can be slow traffics due to train rails.

rurico martinez

Friendly staff but I didn't like that the gratuity was forced on me every time I made a purchase and at the end of the trip on my invoice.

don caughron

Loading up for cruise busy an happy to be going .plenty of parking.good price .we were on board soon and off to Mexico.

Kevin Dorff

Checking bags feels somewhat less secure compared to other cruise ports I've said out of. People were generally very friendly. Check in and Check out seemed generally efficient.

latisha ponton

The port was just fine.. Carnival Freedom on the other hand....very disappointed

MJ

Carnival, this place needs better signage!!!!! You get off your parking lot shuttle bus and don't know where to go!! People in front of us were Royal Caribbean passengers trying to find out if they were in the right place. We knew it was Carnival only because of the smokestack. No obvious signs for luggage dropoff where you enter - it is at the far end of the building - look up. There were men with carts offering to take our luggage about halfway there but we couldn't determine if they were actual Carnival employees so we walked all the way down to the end. Turns out they were Carnival workers.

Tanya V. Allen

Carnival Valor . Beautiful, Fun and Memorable 5 day vacation! All staff were amazing hosts! Food and Drinks and all shows were great!

Gabby Garcia

Everything was organized.. On point!

Aronda Alcendor

They move you through quickly! Lots of people to direct you.

Britt Brownlee

Very nice ship. Even in rough seas it was comfortable. We are hooked on cruising now. We loved everything about Carnival Freedom. Staff was very curious and attentive. Room was comfortable. Food was great. No complaints at all. Just be prepared to spend money. Everything is about getting more money out of you. But still not complaining. I highly recommend the Freedom.

Jessica Rangel

Amazing ships! The crews are always so awesome and there is so much to do on every ship! You'll never be bored! My fiance and I have taken 3 cruises now and are going on our 4th next January! All of our cruises have been through Carnival and I have no complaints! Love the adult sections. They have jacuzzis and very comfortable lounging areas! Thanks Carnival!

Dave Meurer

Smooth and easy to get on the cruise ship. Carnival and the port authority have their act together.

Joe Wisecaver

This cruise ship terminal does an outstanding job processing thousands of passengers with fairly orderly and efficient methods. To their credit, the employees here go out of their way to thank active duty military and veterans for their service to our country.

Jennifer Evans

Crazy and disorganized. If it weren't so close wouldn't sail out of that port.

Aubrey Miller

Always sail Carnival out of Miami, 1st time out of Galveston and it was surprisingly pleasant. Would recommend if you don't mind the distance from Airport to Cruise Port. Uber or Lyft are available for rides.

Sandra Rambo

Boring. I couldn't wait until each stop to get off the boat. Missed out on a stop because it was too windy but the Valor ship got to Roatan earlier before us & was able to enjoy.. So back to Cozumel we went. If you DO not gamble 24/7 or eat your body weight in food or go see corny plays. Then it's not for you! A waste of hard earned money & my pto from work. It's a baby sitter so kids can run all over the place with no respect for anyone else on this ship. If I had to give it zero stars I would.

Ronnie Thibodeaux

Awesome place to visit.

John Mingus

The Port was fine and they focused on getting everyone thru customs and immigration as quickly as possible. The Carnival Freedom Ship and cruise was a totally different matter. The ship is an older ship that is in need of quite a bit of repairs. I've heard it is supposed to be put in dry dock in the Bahamas and all I can say is not soon enough. Other issues is more with Carnival in general. I've been traveling Carnival for a long time now and the cut backs they've been making over the last few years is now negatively effecting the overall experience cruising Carnival. Cut backs staff in both the dinning and staterooms is crazy. Example this last two week cruise the average time for us to receive the main course was over an hour. What they've done is reduced the number of help by one and added additional tables for them to handle. The same thang happening with the staterooms. This may not seem like a big thing, but if you're spending $6500.00 you might be expecting a happier more attentive staff that's not run ragged. Cutting corners to save a buck sometimes loose platinum and diamond members. At this point in time I really don't think they care.

John Thomas

Had a great time ...the staff was very friendly and professional

Dave Schultz

Lot's of history

Tamia Simons

It was great and relaxing. Need more stuff for under 2

Lyn Chote

What can I say? It was amazing... I thought I'd be nervous, because this was my first cruise, but everyone made it easy to know what to do and where to go next... Thank you Carnival....

Larry Harris

Have had the time of my life on each cruise I've taken.

Stephen Bewley

Nothing against Carnival, ICE was abusive. They had my Korean wife of 28 years and with a Korean passport with a visa that had a week left, held, denied reentry, and placed on an plane within 12 hours. It has taken me two years, $6000, and Congressional intervention to get her back. Then she was sent on Turkish Airlines on a 35 hour trip.

Jessica Rabbit

The upgrades and set up here is always improving. I got there on time and walked right on through to the room. One of the quickest transactions yet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I would like better communication on the parking for disabled vets and handicapped vehicles.

Jeramie Feliciano

Love Love Love! Had a great time with great service from amazing staff!! Well be back in a few months

Darrell Rogers

The people that work for Carnival Cruise Ship Freedom are the most polite an friendly people I've ever come across, EXTREMELY SATISFIED...

DD Battles

Always a gr8 time

Christina Kelley

We got there and on the ship in about 45 minutes.

Navarro Borja

Terrific ship and experience here. They do everything better than the other cruise lines. I highly recommend Carnival.

Terri Conneen

The best time! Highly recommend!

Tammy Millus

Simple in and out process. Courteous staff.

Tammy Darlene

Fun for everyone.

Denise Logue

Oh the tales I could tell of my carnival cruises. my next Cruise which is two and a half weeks away will be Cruz number 10 for me. I am ready. I cannot wait. It's still winter here in Houston so when I get on that cruise ship at the end of this month and stale into the sunset I know that soon enough the weather will be hot and sunny and beautifully warm in the 90s. Can't wait to go

patty cotton

first time had fun

Michael Bertrand

Good service. I used the wheelchair assistance and it was great. I have incurable cancer in my spine and can't walk the ramp and carry my medical supplies. They got me on the ship safe and sound and were really nice and friendly about the entire thing!

Amy Lenoir

We had a great time on Freedom for our first cruise. The sunsets were amazing!

Shane Shipley

3rd and last cruise on Carnival next time I’ll choose Royal Caribbean.

Sharon Burleson

If I could have gave no stars for this review I would have. Out of all the cruises this was a horrible experience on the Carnival Freedom. First of all we had no air (Cold)in our room it was hot the entire time . They gave us a fan to use . Well I got sick from using the darn fan. The staff in the dining rooms were I just don’t know we had to wait wait wait for our food to come to the table we had to ask for water . I was like is this ship a training ship because they act like they didn’t want to smile or talk. Now you had some good ones but I was very disappointed with this cruise. I was ready to go home . I would usually talk about my cruise but this one I didn’t want to say anything. And some of the food was ugggh!! Come on carnival get it together. You guys are the fun ship Right.

Mark Saller

Our first cruise. We didn't know what to expect. The terminal seems crazy at first but was well organized. We we're on the boat in no time. On the return, the luggage was right where they said it would be. Transportation was readily available and reasonable for five. The cruise itself was incredible.

Felisha Sweet

Had an absolute blast celebrating our 30 year highschool class reunion in September 2018. Guy's Burger was The Bomb!

unlimetedgamer 83

I loved the towel animals and also the pool mini golf and the comedins one thing I liked the most is all the parties

Nancy Toomey

This was my third time cruising, i noticed lots of changes, some of those changes were good and some were not so good. I recommend to experience cruising.

Ashley Christman

First cruise, went to Cayman islands, Jamaica and cozumel. Had the most amazing experience ever. Met life long friends. Will only cruise carnival from now on they really go above and beyond to make guest happy

Linda Guevara

Absolutely wonderful. Brad, Cruise Director, along with Robby and Pablo were hilarious. Kept us laughing and made the trip even more memorable!

John Pruitt

If you have never been on a cruise, it's definitely a check off on the bucket list. People treat you like royalty and know your names by the end of the first day. Couldn't have asked for a better time.

Sarah Lovelady

Cruise terminal has come a long way mg ways. Faster check-in times for sure.

ケネス

Busy place. Hustle and bustle. Have your tip money ready for the guys waiting to assist with your luggage.

K S

Fave place ever!!!! You should gi asap!! Haha

Jeremy Peeler

Fastest checkin I have ever had!!!!

Curzella Friday Jackson

❤This is a totally beautiful place to visit❤

The Sunflower/ TropicalLifeLina16

Got into this ship last year during June and it was one of the most memorable vacations I had. Been to 3 places: Key West, an unknown place in The Bahamas (don’t remember it’s name), and The Atlantis Hotel at Nassau. Out of the 3 The Atlantis was my favorite by far. It’s a really stunning place. We got to pet dolphins and even take pictures with them. We got to go to the beach and the swimming pools at Aquaventure. It was a lively and very exotic place overall and I would love to go back there in the future hopefully! The ship itself was also very great and memorable. I personally, as well as my little sister, didn’t have internet for a week since it was paid, only my mom had it. It wasn’t a big deal though. It’s a really beautiful ship. I loved going to Deck 9 to eat ice cream and lunch, as well as eating pizza at the Pirate’s Cove. Dinner was also great. There is this one dessert called the “Chocolate Melting Cake” also known as Soufflé, and it’s my favorite dessert EVER. I never really get to eat it that often, maybe a very few times a year. I had it every time we got to eat dinner at the restaurant. If you don’t eat it, you’re missing out 100%. Overall it was a 10/10. If I could time travel, I sure would just for this alone! (and some other stuff before it)

Jenny Nguyen

They were extremely courteous, however they don't know much about the sail and sign accounts

Brandy Riggins

The whole process of boarding and unboarding the cruise ship was quick and efficient. Clearly marked lines and helpful staff to guide you in the right direction!

Zachary Johnson

I just got off of the freedom today and I had a blast!!! The staff were amazing and the entertainment was awesome! I made some new friends aboard the Carnival Freedom as well. Huge shout out to DJ Sly-Eli and cruise director Emma Nixon!! They made my time on the ship way better than the time ashore. Gonna miss em.

pro twins Benitez twins

Was easy to get to our ship.... quick drop off n pick up

Bill V

Easy access to ships.

Rosiland DuPont

This is our fourth Carnival Cruise. We've done two 5 days and two 7 days. We haven't been on the Freedom, we've always been on another one, whose name escapes me at the moment. But we've always had lots of fun and the parking at the terminal has always been pretty easy and fairly quick. And this from someone who is disabled.

Jamie Mahan

I absolutely love cruising, but this port is a mess. The traffic is ridiculous and the flow of the stations to get to the boat is horrible. If you purchase faster to the fun you still have to wait in a seated area for 45 minutes to proceed. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Deidra Kaye Taylor

Lots of people-but workers are SUPER NICE & Will rush to help accommodate your needs!!

Tenesha Tee

Texas port restored my faith in Carnival... and is my favorite hands down! Service & entertainment crew were superb. #topten

Dennis Paul

Easy in / easy out

Kimberly Gates

Drop off and pick up runs very smooth.

Andrew Dunsworth

Fun fun fun. This boat is amazing with great service provided by all. Aerial in room service, Brighton in the red rum bar, Leila in the players club bar, Tommy in the punchline comedy club, Jerome & team in the Chic dinning hall made our experience memorable. Lots of entertainment, events, and food to keep everyone happy. Recommended to all. However guest services is always understaffed. The internet is unacceptably slow and hard to find a good connection. The TV looses reception constantly and is mostly just advertising for the sales by Carnival. Warning: this boat has a constant vibrating problem especially over the engines. It made it very hard for many in our party to eat dinner without getting sick. Hopefully this can be repaired quickly.

Rhoda Yackley

Great customer service! Fast, friendly and lots of staff to help you! It was our first cruise and very easy; they navigate you and get you through the lines quicker and way more friendly than the airport! We had a great experience and can't wait to go again!❤ Thank you! We was on Carnival Vista.

CMH

Nice staff and clean ship.. Overall good experience. The food is rough though, it's really quite terrible. Smuggle good food in and skip the dining room...

Shannon Kirkland

I was very pleased with the new check in system.

Michael Looney

Smooth process. Didn't have any issues at all.

Elvia Flores

This was our first cruise and I have to say it was a great experience! All the staff was absolutely wonderful, everyone was super nice. Shout out to a great Steward, Anthony and Lead Waiter, Sherwin for your great customer service. We experienced 3 excursions on this trip in Cozumel, Belize and Mahogany Bay. Each destination was Great! Loved it, and we plan to do it again. Although there is a few things that could make it better for everyone, overall we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Carnival Freedom for a great experience.

James Rogers

1st visit through here to get to the ship, surprised how quickly everything went. That being said, it only goes quick if you arrive on time based on your reservation! It pays to be on time!

Jose Garcia

Enjoyed every minute of it on board but seems to me like the stops were not all that.

jessica vawter

We booked a wedding and cruise. Including ourselves, we had 33 people sailing. I spent approximately $22,000 all together. My brother passed away 5 months before the wedding and they charged me to cancel his booking. I had to rearrange some of the guests bookings, no fewer rooms just rearranged where persons were and was charged for that. The wedding arrangements were satisfactory. The pastry chef did an awesome job on the cake. The food on the buffet was not to the quality expected. Only food available after 11pm was pizza or room service for a charge. The photographer and photos were exemplary. I would not recommend for booking big events.

Maria Gonzalez

Beautiful ❤ love it. Staff is amazing

Wanda Laplount

Wow. It was awesome. We excited our ship pretty quickly. The other passengers didn't listen to instructions or it would have been even faster.

Paula Bailey

So much fun fun fun in the sun if you haven't ever been on a cruise you should try Carnival Cruises

Dara Aviles

Went on 7 day Bahamas cruise out of Galveston. Terrible food, very little to do. Expensive they suck you for every penny. Went on the Disney cruise yes paid more but the food and activities were outstanding. Don’t waste your money!

Pete Sprague

Some of the nicest people working there. Help you whenever they can. Always ☺. A lot of people to get through terminal though. Makes it slow.

Hamilton Bermudez

The was súper nice

Nonya Bidness Reddick

Perfect cruise! This was my first cruise. I had so much fun I loved every minute of it. The food was awesome and everything else on the boat was awesome. It was very affordable very clean everywhere you turned someone was always wiping something down or cleaning. I've decided I want to go on a cruise every year

Jeffery Moore

One of Carnival 7 Day Cruise Ships that Cruise out of the Best Ports in the South. Galveston, Texas

Alan Gibson

Great cruise to Western Caribbean. Go at least once in your life.

Jeff Barnett

We all know Carnival is the Kmart of cruising, but they have hit new lows. They will now "blue light special" you over the loud speaker at anytime day or night. 10pm 4:52am. If they need you to do something or be somewhere or if they even suspect you may be asleep or spending downtime in your cabin they will be yelling over the loudspeaker for you to get out and keep spending money. The ship is old. There are lines for everything everywhere. If they could adequately handle demand with two of something plan on there being one. If you plan to drink yourself into a stupper from morning to night you will be in good company. Plan to smell plenty of vomit. The employees are nice and will share many stories from the back home. This is the one upside. Over all though I would sum it up with this one statement - Sail the Freedom and spend a week in Hell.

Red six

First cruise. The process is alot easier and much more organized than I had anticipated.

mike neville

There's nothing like vacationing on the Open Sea. And Carnival does an excellent job of entertaining people of all ages. The cruise ship entertainment director is awesome. Go Emma!

Ray Solis

Enjoy my stay on the freedom ship had a great time plush dining every night and breakfast

Janice Thomas

Easy to get on and off the boat. Parking shuttles available.

syble konarik

Amazing experience! Everyone should experience it at least once!

Esther Montemayor

We had an awesome time. Came with friends and made NEW friends. We definately enjoyed ourselves. The crew was fantastic. We can hardly wait for our next cruise!!!!!We also celebrated a birthday-Jeff and we had our own personal tour guide. You go Sam !!!

Steve Garza

The staff was all very nice and I enjoyed everything that we did

Eddie NYC

Nice boat, good food, what they don't tell you is you'll pay $100 gratuity per person, no matter what your bill is, plus the tours on land are 50 to 60 per person for a bus ride, everything is over priced, a Tylenol pill is $20 and if you need it after hours they charge you an additional $50 after hours fee... Plus your kid can charge games and everything to your room, no one will stop it or ask for the parents... So many guests were complaining about kids charging hundreds of dollars worth of games to their rooms...i just wish they were upfront about all these things... Other than that it was fun, the staff was nice, but for the amount of money we paid they should be nice, $1200 for 2 people for a week cruise, 200+ on tours, room Bill was over 500, gratuity was 200 for 2 people, Tylenol was 50 for after hours plus 20... That kind of killed the trip....

Cherishe Norman

They get you on and off the shop with ease.

Rigo G

Carnival cruise made it easy and quick to get on board. Can't wait till my next cruise!

John Ohl

The food was good and the staff was very nice too.

David Landers

Well organized. We were on the ship in no time. Lots of great independent restaurants and bars to hang out in the area while you wait on your cruise.

Blair Sanders

The embarking process was a breeze and the staff was friendly for the most part. My family and I were taking a cruise back and January during the government shutdown so there were a few workers who seemed less than thrilled to be there, but I understand they weren't getting paid at the time so I won't hold it against them. However, once we got back from our trip is where things could've been a lot better. Everything was really chaotic and port employees were yelling at people to get in lines. There was a lot of confusion. The custom agent was also very rude to my family and I. He kept yelling at my mom to go ahead and go on because we were big kids and should be able to take care of ourselves. My brother has autism and doesn't always know how to answer questions and gets extremely anxious and nervous in high stress situations which this was due to all of the commotion and confusion. The custom's agent was asking my brother a question that he had a difficult time answering so he finally let my mom come back to help him and that point he said something to the effect of it wasn't that hard of question to answer. My mom told him my brother had special needs and he needed to watch how he (the custom's agent) talked to people. He acted as if he was sorry, but we should've never been treated like that in the first place. He was rude, condescending, and a flat out butt hole. I know this all took place in January and it is May now, but it I still get upset when I think about the situation. I should've gotten his name and reported him to a supervisor. Customs and Border Agents need to be educated on how to deal with people who have disabilities and they need to learn how to have common decency towards others.

Charlie Jones

My family and I really enjoyed ourselves and the Crew were so helpful and went out of their way to make us happy and enjoying ourselves. We want to thank the whole Crew for their hospitality.

Gene Drisch

June 30-July 7 on Carnival Freedom. Great crew on the ship. Everyone is friendly. Plenty of good food and things to do. This was our second cruise and ready for another one.

Hal Earle

It was raining cats and dogs the day we showed up. Streets were flooding, just a terrible mess. The people in the port were for the most part very efficient and made the transition to the boat very pleasant!

William Gransky

Great cruises, less relaxing but more fun. If you want relaxing I recommend Royal Caribbean. If you want relaxing and fun try the Carnival spa.

Jasonkillerf13
