So let me start by saying I’m not a big cruise person and it’s been several years since I’ve cruised but I am always up for a trip 🙌🏼 and just came off Carnival Freedom with a group and had an AMAZING time! Now I get all kinds of questions about all kinds of trips and specifically about cruises so if you ask me if there are going to be lots of kids and if the ships are super crowded I’d say yes depending on the time you travel, summer YES but does it bother me, no. I think it’s important to manage your expectations before doing any vacation especially cruises where you spend most of your time on a ship with thousands of people. We felt this ship was nice, we had a balcony room that the bathroom could use some updating but overall we were comfortable. The shows we saw were super entertaining and the food in my opinion was really good, better than I expected based on the mixed reviews I’ve been hearing from direct Carnival Freedom travelers. We opted to do the steakhouse one night at an additional fee, it was definitely worth it! We actually wish we would’ve done the steakhouse every night, the food was significantly better, service outstanding and the dining room was gorgeous! 👍🏼 On to the ports- We’ve been to Nassau a few times but it’s been forever ago…… it’s changed a lot since the last time we were there. We typically go to Atlantis to do the water park but opted for a beach day instead which we were glad seeings how there were 5 additional ships at port that day. 🫣 We went to “cabbage” beach I’m pretty sure that’s what the driver called it which was gorgeous! There are tons of shops and restaurants in walking distance along with many many excursion options. Now I’ve never stopped in Bimini but this location was fantastic, not over commercialized with many gorgeous beaches with a very laid back feel! We chartered a boat for a 4 hour tour on this day which included snorkeling a super cool ship wreck, feeding stingray, reef shark snorkeling and a little fishing. After finishing our tour we stopped off at Radio Beach for some lunch at a local spot which was SOOO good and played at the beach a while which again the beach was GORGEOUS …… literally a great port day! Overall we thought this short 4 day cruise with 2 port stops on Carnival Freedom was not only affordable but a really good experience. 🛳️😁
