I was trying to think of how to describe Carnival Freedom and the words “big, exciting and fun” came to mind. Now, I suppose I have to say why.
At 110,000 gross tons, 950 feet in length and 106 feet wide, Carnival Freedom certainly is big. Still, she can maneuver in and out of Caribbean ports quite handily with no external assistance. She can carry between 2, 970 to 3,700 passengers depending upon the number of beds that are occupied in each cabin. That is a lot of people. However, the design of the ship is such and things are organized so that one does not feel overcrowded.
The décor of Carnival Freedom kindles the excitement. I admire the way designer Joe Farcus sets out to make each ship in the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet have its own character. Yes, the general layout of each class of ship is the same but the use of color and design makes each one unique. Moreover, the bold colors and often whimsical designs make the public spaces exciting. You probably would not want to have your home decorated this way but it is fine for a get-away.
Fun comes both from the whimsical designs and from the fact that there are so many different options for things to do. These include not just the facilities but the organized activities. They may not be intellectual but they are good light hearted fun.
