Carnival Freedom Ship

The Carnival Freedom ship offers numerous activities, spacious staterooms and luxurious restaurants.

Carnival Freedom is the last vessel built in the Conquest-class platform. This platform describes the shape of the ship, which is unique to Carnival Cruise Lines. The company built the ship in the Fincantieri shipyard located in Marghera, Italy. The ship's maiden voyage departed Italy on March 5, 2007.

Initially, the Carnival Freedom sailed from Civitavecchia, a port city near Rome. At that time, the ship's Grand Mediterranean itinerary took the ship to Venice, Naples and Livorno. The Mediterranean and Greek Isle itinerary was another initial offering, which took passengers to locations such as Marmaris, Izmir, Athens and Katakolon.

In the fall and winter of 2007, the ship sailed from Miami to the Caribbean. In the summer months of 2008, the ship returned to Europe to continue its Mediterranean voyages. Then, in the fall of 2008, the ship returned to sail the Caribbean, but did so from Fort Lauderdale.

In late November 2008, the company began offering year-round Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale on the Carnival Freedom. The six-day cruise departed on Sundays and took passengers through Key West, George Town, Grand Cayman and Jamaica before making the trip back to Florida.

As of February 2011, the cruise liner offers numerous itineraries including a four-day Western Caribbean cruise from Miami, Florida, and two- or three-day cruises to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale.

A few things make the Carnival Freedom a unique ship. For starters, it is the first Conquest-class ship to offer an adults-only Serenity Retreat. The kid-free cruise offers mature passengers endless opportunities to relax and unwind. In addition, the ship boasts a number of spectacular amenities, including:

Putteriffic mini golf course: A nine-hole mini golf course on the Sun Deck Lotta Food: A restaurant offering international cuisine Sun King Steakhouse: An eatery serving the finest American steakhouse cuisine Viennese Cafe: An onboard coffee bar on the Promenade deck featuring specialty coffees and products from around the world Bar Nouveau: Serves wine and offers vintage charm and decor Players Sports Bar: A place to watch games and enjoy a drink 70's Dance Club: Features a disco-theme setting Scott's Piano Bar: Where you can sing along with the host Babylon Casino: Get in on the casino action including blackjack, craps and slots Show and Tell: A Victorian lounge with live entertainment and an orchestra pit Club 02: Club for teens between the ages of 15 and 17 with a futuristic theme Camp Carnival: A camp for younger kids that offers plenty of planned activities and adult supervision Twister Waterslide: A three-deck tall waterslide
