In addition to the usual lunchtime buffet choices, it offers a deli and Japanese, Chinese and Thai food, along with a grill and a hour pizzeria. Keep-fit enthusiasts are amply catered for with onboard spa and gym facilities including steam rooms, saunas, beauty salon treatments, aerobics rooms with state-of-the-art equipment and the option of specialised classes and personal training. In addition, the ship has a total of four outdoor pools and five whirlpools.
There is also the Carnival Seaside Theatre — a12ft 3. Television with satellite channels, movies and ship infomercials is standard. Each stateroom has a well-stocked mini-fridge, containing a variety of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and snacks.
The ship returned to European waters in the second quarter of to travel two itineraries from her home port in Civitavecchia near Rome. In the third quarter of , Freedom once again sailed the Caribbean, but this time from Fort Lauderdale. In November , her year-round schedule of six and eight-day Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale began. Apart from the buffet and the main dining room, there are burgers and burritos with enough toppings to have a different experience every day of your cruise.
The quality does not suffer, in spite of its being free. With all the changes brought by the retrofit, some spaces still need work. A few lounges lack true identities, the library is gorgeous but out of place, Spa Carnival needs a "wow" factor to keep up, and there's a giant skylight dome overtaking valuable court space on the sports deck. That's when we remember that Freedom isn't a new ship; it's a ship with fresh and exciting concepts that are well executed.
It's an appetizing taste of what's to come for the line, and it challenges you not to have a good time onboard. Freedom attracts all ages, and groups containing up to four generations can be found among the young couples, retired couples and smaller families onboard.
The passenger mix varies, but North Americans including a solid number of Floridians dominate the onboard demographic. Passengers 41 to 50 years old tend to compose the largest percentage of passengers. Freedom sails Caribbean itineraries, and the daytime dress onboard reflects that with a casual, poolside atmosphere.
Cover-ups, shirts and flip-flops are required for the indoor Freedom Restaurant on the Lido Deck, but the rule doesn't seem to be strictly enforced. The main dining room requires that men wear shirts with sleeves, and at night, wardrobes are typically turned up a notch to include khakis and collared or button-down shirts for men, and blouses or sundresses for women. Depending on the length of the itinerary, the ship hosts one to two formal or "cruise elegant" nights per sailing.
