Carnival Freedom cabins review

The Carnival cruise ship Freedom has a total of 29 wheelchair-accessible cabins (for disabled passengers) and 18 Spa cabins (all Balcony). The ship offers 27 different cabin categories.

Connecting staterooms ("family cabins") are located on decks 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11. These include various configurations: 2 beds (4E), 3 beds (PT), 2-3 beds (8B), 2-4 beds (6J - Scenic Oceanview), 2-3-4 beds (6A, 6B, 6C, 8C, 8D), and 4 beds (8F - Spa Balcony). The 29 accessible cabins are distributed as follows: 1 Ocean Suite (OS), 2 Balcony, 1 Oceanview, and 25 Interior cabins.

Below is a review of Carnival Freedom staterooms, focusing on amenities, furniture, and complimentary services:

Each of the two Captain’s Suites includes a master bedroom (2 twin beds convertible to a king, plus a Pullman bed), a dressing area (vanity, large walk-in closet), a spacious bathroom, a separate living room (double sofa bed, coffee table, desk, armchairs), a second bathroom with a shower, refrigerator, and mini-bar.

Carnival Freedom's suites (Captain’s, Grand, Ocean) feature king-size beds, a living room (walk-in closet, desk, vanity table, chair, drawers, double sofa bed), private bathroom (toilet, shower, whirlpool tub, double sinks).

Premium Balcony (9B, 9C) and Extended Balcony cabins (8N, 8M) offer twin beds convertible to a queen-size double bed, ample closet and storage space, bathroom with shower, and a living area. Some "C" staterooms include an additional sofa bed for a third guest. These cabins offer 50% larger balconies, three closets, and full bathrooms with showers. All Balcony cabins feature private step-out balconies with sliding glass doors, a table, and patio chairs.

Guests in Spa cabins (category 8F / Balcony) enjoy the following complimentary amenities and perks (for two guests per stateroom only): unlimited access to all Spa Carnival facilities, two fitness classes (Yoga or Pilates), two metabolism tests, bathrobes, slippers, deluxe in-room Elemis bath amenities (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, vitamin-rich body lotion, hand and body soap), priority Spa reservations (must be made by 6 pm on embarkation day), and spa treatment discounts on port days (20% off 1st treatment, 30% off 2nd, 40% off 3rd).

Scenic Oceanview cabins feature floor-to-ceiling slanted windows, twin beds convertible to a king, a living area (sofa, coffee table, chairs), and some have additional bedding for a third or fourth guest. Oceanview cabins include a large picture window, twin beds (convertible to a queen), and a living area with a sofa and/or upper Pullman beds for extra guests.

Inside cabins with windows include category 4J (obstructed view, picture window) and PT (porthole window). Some 4J rooms have one upper bunk bed; some have non-convertible twin beds. Porthole Inside cabins may include a sofa bed or upper bunks for additional guests. Smaller Inside cabins are equipped with upper/lower Pullman beds, a living area, and a bathroom with shower.

All Carnival Freedom staterooms offer standard complimentary amenities, including a living area (vanity, seating), smart HDTV (infotainment system with internet access, on-demand movies, booking services, and room service ordering), direct-dial phone, electronic safe, lifejackets (in closet), hairdryer, en-suite bathroom (toilet, shower, single-sink vanity, bathrobes, amenity basket replenished upon request), Carnival Comfort Bed System, beach towels, mini-bar/fridge, individual air-conditioning, and 24-hour room service. Gideon Bibles are available upon request.

Bathroom amenities vary by sailing, so guests are advised to bring personal supplies. Sample items may include toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, body lotion, razors, and antacids. A wall-mounted dispenser in the shower provides liquid soap and shampoo. Electrical outlets are located at the desk/vanity area—one 110V (US standard, grounded) and one 220V (European standard). Bathroom outlets (2-pin) support electric razors only.

The ship’s interactive TV system allows guests to purchase on-demand movies, order room service, and check their Sail & Sign account. On-demand films cost approx. USD 5 each; adult films are USD 10. Depending on satellite reception, in-cabin TV channels include: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CNN (Domestic, International, Español), TCM (classic movies), Boomerang, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS. Two complimentary movie channels run every three hours, one showing all-time favorites (PG-13) and the other family favorites (G/PG). Carnival-specific channels include Fun Finds TV, Cruise Director, Fun Aboard, Park West Art, Shore Tours, Ship Position, live webcams (forward and Lido deck), Audible Funtimes, Photo, and Music. Sporting events (ESPN, ESPN2) are shown only at the Sports Bar and Seaside Theatre. TV input ports are disabled, so guests cannot connect personal devices.

Carnival’s beds are Europe-manufactured exclusively for the line. The bedding includes trademarked "New Generation Pillows" (100% cotton), hypoallergenic duvets, satin-striped covers and pillowcases, high-quality cotton sheets, and 8-inch spring mattresses ("Carnival Comfort"). Non-allergenic bedding options are also available, including 100% polyester blankets and pillowcases (60/40 cotton-polyester). Trundle beds do not feature Carnival Comfort mattresses.

The Sail & Sign card functions as both a stateroom key and a cashless onboard credit account. It is required for all purchases and gratuities onboard. Cash is only accepted in the casino. Each passenger (including minors) receives a card upon boarding. Account balances can be checked at the Guest Services desk or via the smart TV.

Carnival-logoed beach towels are provided in each cabin for use ashore and are available for purchase at $22. Bathrobes (two) are included in all suites and Spa cabins. Other guests may request bathrobes during turndown service on the first evening. Additional robes are available upon request. Robes are available for purchase at $49 (adults) and $24 (children, sizes 2–4 and 6–8).

Life jackets (for emergency use only) are stored in all cabins (closet) and available in three sizes—adult, child, and infant.

Each cabin safe is located in the closet and measures approximately 10"x9"x8" (25x23x20 cm). Safes operate with any magnetic strip card. Guests are advised to use expired cards or loyalty cards instead of active credit cards. Some safes feature keypads with personal codes. Ship security can also open all safes if necessary.

All cabin mini-bars are stocked with premium liquors ($6–9.25), beer ($6.25), energy drinks ($5), soft drinks ($2), and bottled water ($3.75).

In-cabin babysitting is not available. Cribs are provided free of charge upon request. Complimentary high chairs and booster seats are available in Main Dining Rooms.

Smoking is prohibited in all staterooms and balconies. Designated smoking areas include the 70’s Nightclub (not on the dance floor), specific Casino areas, and the Casino Bar. Outdoor smoking (including cigars and pipes) is permitted on Deck 3 portside (forward) and Deck 11 portside.

Funville@Sea is a complimentary intranet service offering onboard activity schedules, bar and restaurant menus, deck maps, the Fun Times daily newsletter, FunAshore tour guides, cruise news, weather updates, and social networking features. It is accessible via the in-cabin infotainment system and FunHub stations around the ship.

Current daily gratuities are USD 12.95 per person (standard cabins) and USD 13.95 (suites). Suite perks include priority embarkation/debarkation/tendering, priority main dining room reservations, complimentary bottled water, one free laundry bag per cruise, and enhanced turndown service.

Since 2017, Carnival has offered guests the option to customize their cabin steward service—morning, evening, or both. Guests may also request additional amenities such as bathrobes, pillows, blankets, and hangers, and indicate linen change preferences. Selections are made via a services menu card in each cabin. If no preferences are selected, service is provided twice daily by default.

Detailed stateroom furniture layouts are available in the Carnival Freedom cabin plans above.
