Balcony (9B)

Step into a Premium Balcony stateroom aboard Carnival Freedom and it's easy to see exactly what you're getting: one seriously spacious stateroom. It's about more than just the room itself, you'll find... step onto your oversized balcony and you'll find that when there's a sea breeze in your hair, there's no limit to the relaxation you can have.

Balcony (CS)

This is the best room you can get... without bunking up with the guy himself. A Captain's Suite aboard Carnival Freedom features tons of indoor space, and a huge balcony when you need a little more. Back inside you'll find a king-size bed, two full bathrooms (one with whirlpool tub), plus a separate living room that sleeps another three. And VIP check-in? Naturally.

Inside (1A)

A Carnival Freedom Interior Upper/Lower stateroom creatively maximizes space for a pair of cruisers. These staterooms feature all the same amenities as other Interior staterooms, with a different layout - including one Twin bed, and either an upper Pullman or sofa bed. They also feature linens from the Carnival Comfort Collection, a full private bathroom and more.

Inside (4A)

An Interior stateroom is the most affordable way to cruise, and Carnival Freedom's interiors are not just cozy, but are full of things you'd expect from any Carnival stateroom: a full private bathroom, Carnival Comfort Collection linens and just-a-call-away 24-hour room service.

Inside (PT)

Carnival Freedom's Porthole staterooms give you the classic seafarer's view times two - a pair of round windows providing an affordable view of the ocean.

Oceanview (OV)

Any ocean view Stateroom, depending on availability.

Oceanview (6A)

Catch a glimpse of what's going by from your Ocean View stateroom aboard Carnival Freedom, where you'll get views you won't find anywhere on land. Don't miss sunrise and sunset at sea - your comfy stateroom is the best way to experience these!

Oceanview (6B)

Oceanview (6c).

Oceanview (6K)

Your Scenic Ocean View stateroom aboard Carnival Freedom provides the best view of the sea that lies ahead of the ship, with views unlike any on land. And you'll get more of them, too, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing plenty of looking-glass for gazing at the natural wonders of the sea... and let's not forget sunrise and sunset.

Oceanview (6J)

A Carnival Freedom suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation. Ocean Suites also include VIP check-in, walk-in closet and bathroom with whirlpool.

Any suite, depending on availability.

As you step into a Junior Suite aboard Carnival Freedom, you can't help but feel that you're stepping into full-size luxury in a smaller package. Featuring a standard-size balcony, in a Carnival Freedom Junior Suite you'll find everything else there is to love about a suite, including VIP check-in, a walk-in closet... and even a whirlpool tub for relaxing.

Get to Know Carnival Freedom

Carnival Freedom has a message for you, and its "feel free to have fun!" Explore the ship and you'll find food options galore, starting with two dining rooms, but definitely extending outdoors — there's mouth-watering Guy Fieri burgers at Guy's Burger Joint ™ , plus the greatest tacos and burritos this side of the pier at BlueIguana Cantina ™ . For delicious, but quick and easy, selections from the sea, get your chopsticks around all the good stuff at Bonsai Sushi Express ™ . For every great food spot, there's a great place to enjoy drinks, too, from the toe-tapping Scott's Piano Bar to the always-hoppin' 70's Nightclub. For the thirsty, libation hotspots include Alchemy Bar ® and the place we all gather to raise very important toasts: Heroes Tribute ™ Bar & Lounge. Everybody's favorite outdoor seaside bar is here... whether yours is the RedFrog Rum Bar ® or BlueIguana Tequila Bar ™ . (Or hey, make it both!) The rum bar's older brother, RedFrog Pub ® , features drinks, live music and traditional pub games. Topping off adult-time is Serenity — adult-only, of course — the retreat where total relaxation is not only encouraged, but pretty much required. If you're a kid, Carnival Freedom means you're in for a treat. Not only will you find new friends at one of three youth spaces — like Camp Ocean ® — but you can splash around with them in one of our many pools, speed down a waterslide at Carnival WaterWorks ™ , or once you dry off, challenge them to a round of mini-golf. Oh, and adults — don't get jealous; your inner kid gets to do all this stuff too! Up on stage is Playlist Productions ™ , featuring songs you know... and dance moves you'll soon be using. And for the cherry on top... it's actually called Cherry On Top ™ . It's the spot for something special, whether that something's a little something sweet — or simply a little something to sweeten a special occasion.

with a cruise advisor

Thanks to a major refurbishment in March 2019, Carnival Freedom features a Bonsai Sushi Express, a rebranded deli, a WaterWorks waterpark (with a 203-foot-long slide), an aerobics room within the gym and a mini-golf course. On top of that, the 2,980-passenger vessel features all of the “Fun Ship 2.0” amenities, including Guy’s Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina. The ship also received some general maintenance work in 2023.

While parents relax at the Serenity adults-only retreat, children ages 2 to 17 can enjoy age-appropriate youth clubs and the Seuss at Sea program, which is aimed at younger patrons. Recent guests note that shows at the Punchliner Comedy Club can be a bit raunchy, so they may not be appropriate for children.  

Food options are also versatile, including two main dining rooms, a steakhouse, and the Lido Deck which offers everything from pizza to the popular Mongolian Wok.

As far as cabins go, cruisers can choose from Interior, Ocean View, Balcony or Suite category rooms, all of which offer flat-screen TVs and 24-hour room service. Recent passengers note that thanks to the 3-to-1 passenger-to-crew ratio, service is above par. 

Carnival Freedom sails from Orlando  and Barcelona, Spain , to destinations in the Caribbean and transatlantic voyages.

Boasting a theme of time travel, public rooms are decorated to reflect historic periods, such as ancient Babylon, the Victorian era, the 1970s days of disco, complete with a glitter ball and the 1950s "golden era of sports" showcased in a bar.

Carnival Freedom was updated in 2014 with "Fun Ship 2.0" amenities, making her more family-friendly than ever, with added features for kids, a candy store, more entertainment options, unique and diverse bars, plus dining venues. She has everything today's cruisers are looking for in a vacation — lots of thrilling activities, spacious accommodations, mouthwatering cuisine and more. She boasts over 20 bars and lounges, plus a stunning nine-deck-high atrium, which is a popular meeting spot and a great place to people watch.

The main pool is flanked by a set of super-large hot tubs where you can completely unwind. Indulge in some me time at the expansive 14,500-square-foot spa facility where European-style treatments will leave you feeling like new. A gym boasts the latest exercise equipment and the salon offers hair, nail and make-up services.

Mealtime is fun and easy as something is offered to please everyone's palate. A kids' menu has all their favorites, such as mac-n-cheese chicken nuggets and more, available at most onboard dining venues . Chic elegant dining rooms offer extensive menus as well as wine lists. Upscale dining is offered at the elegant steakhouse with an intimate ambiance. Enjoying the sun? Simply head to the casual poolside restaurant for a full breakfast, lunch and an incredible dinner buffet, where you can get a nosh at the New York-style deli, savor Asian dishes and much more. Dining room menus include vegetarian dishes, spa fare and other healthy choices. The ship also has a sushi bar, patisserie and complimentary 24/7 room service.

After an exciting day, retreat to roomy accommodations, filled with such amenities as ultra-comfy beds with plush mattresses, luxurious duvets and high quality sheets and linens. Select from a wide range to best suit your needs, including spacious staterooms with a balcony.

Exciting entertainment choices offers guests a variety to have a fantastic evening.

Guys burger joint

We went looking for someone to help us grill up the best burgers at sea, and we found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy’s Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy’s way, or take it off-road to our toppings bar and truly make it your own.

Mongolian wok

Chow down on some delicious Asian goodness. First, select your noodles and veggies. Then tell one of our chefs which sauce and meat you want in the wok. Will it be mussels and Szechuan? Beef and Thai barbecue? Chicken and black bean? Don’t worry, the decision doesn’t have to be final — you can come back to Mongolian Wok and try all the combos your heart desires!

Ol Fashioned BBQ

Pizza pirate

Tossing dough is an age-old art passed down the generations. Lucky for you, someone passed us the secret to the perfect pie. While aboard, this is the place that will shiver your timbers and warm you to the bone, 24 hours a day, with a Margherita, Funghi, Prosciutto, Pepperoni or Quatttro Formaggi pizza served with a delicious Caesar salad. Savvy? Then it’s the pirates’ life for you!

Seafood Shack

A good seafood dish is quite the catch. However you like yours served — whether it’s on a roll or a platter — Seafood Shack’s the place to cast your net. Imagine a New-England-style seaside spot where you can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view. On a Carnival cruise is where you’ll find this shack by the sea, wherever in the world you happen to be!

Just who designed this course anyway? Whoever it was, they had one thing in mind — maximum fun for mini-golfers, big and small! That's precisely why you'll find a course on every Carnival® ship, where you can hit the holes and take in everything you’d expect, like the sights and the sounds... plus the seagulls.

We have some bad news for you — your ship has a gym. In other words, there’s no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That’s great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you. And let’s not forget the extra time you’ll have, since you won’t be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that. If those were some of your go-to excuses, we’re sorry, but we all know this is important. Why not treat yourself to some of our fitness classes — you might even have a little fun while you do something great for yourself!

Massage room

Cruising always feels good, but it doesn’t usually — ooh, right there. Right where? Sorry, we’re at the onboard spa, where they do these amazing massages by hand. But they don’t just stop there — they’ve got tools to enhance the benefits too. Select from different hands-on experiences featuring seaweed for detox, herbal poultice for energy, bamboo for deep tissue penetration and hot stones for — ahhh — for perfection. We know you’re all about feeling good, and so are these massages.

Spa Carnival

Burn off some calories with a workout in the gym or an invigorating aerobics class. Then rejuvenate in the steam room or sauna. Next, it's time for a relaxing full-body massage. Finally, head to the beauty salon for a facial, manicure, pedicure, the works! Now you're ready for an exciting evening onboard ship.

Carnival Freedom Cruise Ship Profile and Tour

The Carnival Freedom became the 22th ship in the Carnival Cruise Lines' fleet in February 2007. The 3000-passenger, 110,000-ton ship is a sister ship to the Carnival Liberty , which was launched in 2005. The Carnival Freedom offers a wide range of amenities including almost two dozen lounges and bars, a huge spa, jogging track, Internet café, and four swimming pools—one with a 214-foot-long water slide.

The vessel debuted during the 35th anniversary of Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines, a company that began with just one ship. Its parent company, Carnival Corp. & plc, has grown into the world's largest cruise company.

The Carnival Freedom arrived in Venice, Italy, following a short voyage from the Italian Fincantieri shipyard on March 3, 2007. The cruise ship is 952 feet long and has 1,487 staterooms.

Dining Venues on the Carnival Freedom Cruise Ship

The Seafood Shack was added to the Carnival Freedom in 2017 and is the newest dining venue on the cruise ship. The a la carte seafood venue is appropriately located within the ship's poolside Lido restaurant and offers a variety of fresh-from-the-sea delicacies such as lobster rolls, lobster BLTs, crab cake sliders, fish and chips, and a fried seafood platter with shrimp, clams, calamari, and fish.  There are also buckets of fried buffalo shrimp and fried clams or a combination featuring both items.   Diners can also enjoy steamed lobster, snow crab, and peel and eat shrimp, and oysters, all available at market price.

The Carnival Freedom offers a wide variety of other casual and formal dining options , including the Chic and Posh formal dining rooms with diverse menus and wine lists; a casual poolside restaurant, Freedom Restaurant, with full breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets and a 24-hour pizzeria, Guy's Burger Joint, and the Blue Iguana Cantina. The ship also has an intimate reservations-recommended specialty steakhouse serving U.S.D.A. prime dry-aged beef, seafood and other cuisine.

Dining room menus also include vegetarian dishes and children’s menus, as well as Spa Carnival Fare, delicious health-conscious menu items that are lower in fat, sodium, cholesterol and calories. The ship also features a patisserie and a sushi bar, as well as 24-hour room service and ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Carnival Freedom Cruise Ship Interiors

The multi-deck atrium on the Carnival Freedom is bright, noisy, and full of activity.  Like many large cruise ships, the atrium is the hub of the ship. The rest of the interiors take guests on a journey through the centuries by decade. Public rooms looking like they came from ancient Babylonia, the disco era, 19th-century Victorian, and the contemporary style of the 1990s, all celebrate many periods in time on the Carnival Freedom. 

Highlights include the ship’s Victorian show lounge named after Britain’s Queen Victoria and designed to evoke theaters in London’s West End with ornate moldings, fancy marble and gold leaf; Studio 70 dance club, which recreates the ambiance of the famed Studio 54 disco in New York with black interior, spinning mirror balls hanging from the ceiling, and pulsating lights; and Player’s Sports Bar, which shines with chrome, sports medallions and memorabilia highlighting the 1950s, often referred to as the “golden era of sports.”

Among other decades represented in Carnival Freedom’s public rooms are the American Revolution era of the 1770s in the Monticello Library; the 1910s in Scott’s piano bar, named after ragtime piano master Scott Joplin; the 1930s in Swingtime jazz club; and the 900s in the Dynasty Room, an homage to ancient China.

Guests sailing on the Carnival Freedom will appreciate the ship’s 14,500-square-foot “Spa Carnival” facility, which features exercise equipment, a gymnasium, and body and facial treatments, including a number of exotic “European-style” therapies. The ship also features a salon offering a variety of hair, nail, and make-up services.

Outdoor Decks on the Carnival Freedom

Like all Carnival cruise ships, the Carnival Freedom has lots of places for outdoor fun.  Carnival Freedom also houses four swimming pools, including a children’s wading pool and an aft pool offering a 214-foot-long water slide. 

Carnival Freedom also features the line’s popular “Carnival Seaside Theatre,” a massive 270-square-foot LED screen on Lido Deck displaying movies, concerts, sporting events, and other programming, including a “Morning Show” hosted by the ship’s cruise director.  Utilizing the same technology featured in large stadiums and New York’s Times Square, the state-of-the-art entertainment system includes a 70,000-watt sound system, providing concert quality sound, even outdoors.

Carnival Freedom Home Port and Itineraries

Galveston, Texas is the year-round home port for the Carnival Freedom, and the ship sails seven-day cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Bahamas.

Carnival Freedom cruise ship catches fire near Bahamas

TAMPA, Fla. ( WFLA ) — A Carnival Cruise ship’s funnel caught on fire during their voyage near the Bahamas on Saturday.

Carnival said that at 3:15 p.m., the Carnival Freedom reported a fire on the port side from the ship’s exhaust funnel.

In a statement from Carnival, the team said, “The ship’s fire response team was quickly activated, and the ship’s captain also turned the vessel towards the heavy rain in the area to maximize the efforts to put out the flames. Eyewitnesses reported the possibility of a lightning strike and that is being investigated but cannot yet be confirmed.”

A portion of the funnel on the port side fell onto Deck 10.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire at 5:20 p.m. All aboard were asked to stay away from balconies and open decks for their safety.

Two crew members fighting the fire were treated for minor smoke inhalation, according to Carnival. As of this report, there are no reported injuries for guests.

The U.S. Coast Guard was alerted and has activated their response team. The cruise is expected to continue sailing to Freeport and arrive on Sunday morning.

The ship was around 20 miles from Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, heading to Freeport. The ship departed from Port Canaveral on Thursday for a four-day trip.

On May 26, 2022, the same ship caught on fire while docked in Grand Turk . The inside of the Freedom’s funnel erupted in smoke and flames. The trip that was scheduled following the voyage had to be canceled.

The cruise does not expect the fire to impact the next voyage scheduled for Monday.

Norwegian, Carnival and more cruise lines change itineraries due to Hurricane Beryl

Get more news like this delivered to your inbox by signing up for our Travel newsletter here . 

As Hurricane Beryl moves across the Caribbean, a number of cruise lines have changed itineraries in the area in an effort to avoid the storm.

▶ Norwegian Cruise Line altered nearly the entire itinerary for a week-long sailing on its Norwegian Breakaway ship that departed from Miami, Florida, on Sunday. The line canceled stops in Honduras, Harvest Caye in Belize, and Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico, according to a letter sent to guests that the line shared with USA TODAY. The ship will instead visit Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas instead.

“While we share your disappointment, these modifications were made with great consideration as your safety, and that of our crew, is always our number one priority,” the letter said.

The line similarly changed a week-long sailing aboard Norwegian Jade that left Port Canaveral on Saturday, replacing planned calls in Falmouth, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel with San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tortola and Puerto Plata.

Was your cruise itinerary changed? Here's what to do next

▶ Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Liberty ship moved a planned Friday stop in Cozumel up to Tuesday. The vessel departed on a week-long cruise from New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, according to CruiseMapper .

Carnival Horizon, which is sailing a six-day itinerary that left Miami on Sunday, will skip a visit to Grand Cayman on Wednesday.

“The safety of our guests and crew is paramount, and we are continuing to monitor forecasts and factor in guidance from the National Hurricane Center, U.S. Coast Guard, and the local port authorities to provide timely updates to our guests as more information becomes available,” spokesperson Matt Lupoli said in an emailed statement.

▶ Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Fantasy ship – which set sail on a week-long cruise from Port Canaveral on Saturday – will not visit Falmouth as planned on Wednesday. The stop will be replaced with a sea day .

The center of the storm is expected to “move quickly across the southeastern and central Caribbean Sea today,” passing near Jamaica on Wednesday and the Cayman Islands the following day, the National Hurricane Center said.
