The Seuss-a-Palooza parade ends at the theater, where children gather on the stage under a tent for an interactive reading of "The Cat in the Hat." The ship also features a salon offering a variety of hair, nail, and make-up services. 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. This is an affordable way to cruise without leaving out the comfort or convenience! Great for curling up after a long day of fun.Dedicated stateroom attendant, Soft, cozy linens, Plenty of closet and drawer space, In-room safe for valuables, Television, Stateroom climate control. This is the best room you can get… without bunking up with the guy himself.

Deck 11 is where the basketball and volleyball courts are located, though there is a skylight dome obstructing a good portion of the area. An oversized chess set extends over the Lido Deck, located in front of the Stressless pool on Deck 10. The Victoriana Show Lounge is the main theater, spanning decks 3 through 5. It's host to Hasbro, the Game Show, PlayList Productions variety shows, magicians, hypnotists, juggling and comedy performers, Seuss' Story Time and bingo.

Ocean Suites also include VIP check-in, walk-in closet and full bathroom. Earlier this month, the 2,980-guest ship entered its 16-day dry dock at the Navantia shipyard in Cadiz, Spain. The ship’s vibrant transformation is a significant milestone for the shipyard. While the yard’s team members have worked on other projects across the fleet, this is the first time they have designed and manufactured a Carnival funnel. The Endless or aft pool is an adults-only retreat on Deck 9 aft, reserved for the 18-and-older crowd. A statue of a kneeling woman at the front of the pool is a nice centerpiece, but her blue painted-on bikini seems like a silly afterthought.

Drydocking 2023 (October 6-21) was conducted at Navantia shipyard in Cadiz Spain. The Casino was expanded, and all staterooms and public areas were renovated/upgraded. Curiously, the funnel was designed and manufactured by Navantia.

Interactive choices include onboard account review and shore excursion descriptions and booking. Each stateroom also has a safe and mini-fridge, stocked with a selection of beer, wine, water, juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, as well as snacks, priced a la carte. Cabin stewards check the fridge once or twice during the cruise and refill as needed. The Seafood Shack was added to the Carnival Freedom in 2017 and is the newest dining venue on the cruise ship. 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.
Promenade Deck
Badges can be collected over multiple cruises, and at the end of each, a ceremony takes place with giveaways for each age group. Farther aft, located within the smoky Habana Bar, is The Web, an Internet cafe. Dark, difficult to find and a bit of an afterthought, the center offers computers for use and laptops for rent.
Another highlight of Carnival Freedom are four swimming pools, including one for children, plus a thrilling three-deck-high 214-foot-long water slide for fun-lovers. 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. Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Freedom.

Seuss at Sea includes a number of activities and a permanent onboard reading space, Dr. Seuss' Bookville. Bookville, located to the right of Camp Ocean on Deck 12, is open to passengers of any age. Colorful funky-shaped couches and cushions and bright multicolored chairs invite you to sit and relive the nostalgia of parenthood or childhood or hear a Dr. Seuss story for the first time. ThirstyFrog Red, Carnival's very own brew, is on tap in the Key West-meets-Caribbean-inspired RedFrog Pub. Meanwhile, flaming orange peels and sprinkled cinnamon (bartenders will maintain its pixie dust) are just a few of the flourishes at Alchemy Bar, where handcrafted cocktails are the only thing on the electronically illuminated menu. There are even three bars specializing in one kind of liquor -- it doesn't get more specialty than that.
The first spots to go are the handful of large, two-person black wicker cabana chairs facing aft; people camp out there all day. This is the hub of the action on the Lido Deck, with two whirlpools behind it on either side. The teen set seemed to dominate the whirpools on our cruise, especially at night (open until midnight). As you would expect, space fills up surrounding the pool, especially on sea days, but there is plenty of tiered seating if you don't mind a stroll down to your dip.
WaterWorks Aqua Park (Deck 10) replaced the Stressless Pool area (with a waterslide). The new aquapark features a 62-m / 203-ft long AquaTunnel (waterslide), Carnival's signature 65-m / 212-ft long Twister slide, a 75-gallon / 285-liter PowerDrencher (tipping bucket) and the kids-only SplashZone. Wi-Fi on Carnival Freedom is an extra fee; internet packages are available for purchase before boarding. 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. Register with Cruise.com to get access to exclusive rates, discounts and special offers.
The ship also has a sushi bar, patisserie and complimentary 24/7 room service. A spiraling waterslide is one of the focal points of the outdoor decks. The entrance, on Deck 14, was typically lined with small children, but all ages are welcome to ride. There's no water park or kids pool on Freedom, so the slide is the main aquatic attraction for younger ones. Perfect for a quick round, the course is themed with stonework featuring ancient civilizations and replicas of Easter Island heads.
Up on stage is Playlist Productions™, featuring songs you know... The parade culminates in Story Time, an interactive reading of "The Cat in the Hat" that takes place on the stage. Children are encouraged to gather on the stage, and parents are encouraged to participate in the reading as well. The Stressless pool is much smaller, located up one deck on Deck 10, beneath the waterslide. The Carnival Freedom's last drydocking was in 2024 (March 26-April 4) at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport. The project was for routine maintenance and classification works/inspections.
