We are going on our first cruise in August and it will be with Carnival. Different people have different expectations and different tastes in food. I am not at all discouraged by negative reviews. Unfortunately sometimes bad things happen but they are not the norm. I do plan to give an objective review when we get back.

How much are milkshakes on the Freedom?

Thanks to all. I believe my question has been adequately answered.

Can somebody tell me about the grand buffet on the Freedom? It is not listed under "Dining" on the Carnival web site but I do see it under deck plans.

Our cruise starts on Aug. 5 so we will not see you.

Your analogy is flawed....a TIP is not a GIFT. A Gift is given with the expectation of no consideration. A TIP is given as a form of payment if you will for services rendered....the $13 pp/pd is added to the cost of the cruise. You know going in that you will be charged $13 per day, where is the problem? I wouldn't remotely think of doing it, even if the service is sub par, but I have heard of people having their TIPS removed from their accounts after raising enough of a stink with GS. On a 7 night cruise, these workers have cleaned your room everyday, twice....prepared and served to you 21 meals, plus snacks and basically have catered to you for $90....I am willing to bet the vast majority of cruisers have absolutely no issue giving the $13 per day, and in some cases go above and beyond by tipping extra. There is the small percentage who are so cheap, after gouging themselves with every small indulgence they can, want the extra $90 for themselves so they can indulge more

There is no reason for my room to be cleaned twice a day.

11:00 is the earliest time they gave us.

48 days til our first cruise on the Carnival Freedom.

Somebody else asked what is donkey sauce, If anybody answered, I overlooked it so I ask what is donkey sauce?

We are going on our first cruise in August and it will be 7 days on the Freedom. Check to see what shore excursions will be available for both ships.

Does anybody know how often they change the menu in the main dining room on the Freedom? The Carnival web site says they have a "rotating menu." I'm not sure what they mean by that.

Great start to your review, following along. The Freedom has alluded us, looking forward to hear about your time on her.

Alluded? I don't think that's what you mean.

I have not seen the menus. Where it says "mains," is this the main dining room that you don't have to pay extra for? If not where can I find the menus?

Is there a way to find out what is scheduled for the Aug.5 cruise?

I still like magic too. I wish I could find out how to make someone disappear from inside a box.

When I have cruised on Carnival, they checked my boarding pass for the earliest check-in time. Since your check-in time is 11:00 am, they will let you in any time after 11:00. You will go through security and stand in line to get checked in. Once you are checked in, you will go to a waiting area until your boarding number is called. The only time that matters on your boarding pass is the 11:00 am time.

Thank you.

We have booked a trip from Galveston on the Carnival Freedom and I was wondering about something. We have a check-in time of 11:00 to 11:30. What happens if we are in line before 11:30 but we don't get to the front of the line until after 11:30?t

Actually I think I am asking about arrival appointment time.

Can you tell me about the menu in the main dining room? We are going on the Freedom in August.

Are there usually a lot of people waiting to play mini golf, or not?

I am booked to go on the Freedom Aug. 5. I am really disappointed that they took out the Fish N'Chips. I like fish but don't want to pay extra for it.

We are planning on going on the Freedom on Aug. 5. I was wondering do most men wear a coat and tie on elegant nights or not? Also what is on the menu on elegant nights? If they have roast duck I don't want to miss that.

Do most men wear a coat and tie on elegant nights?

Who has been on the Family Adventure at Good Hope Estate excursion in Jamaica? What specific activities are included with the cost of the excursion? Carnival's web site does not list very many. If you want to go tubing down the Martha Brae, does that cost extra?

Thank you.

How hard is it to get to the Grand Cayman observation tower if it is not part of your excursion? Anyone who has been there, do a lot of people try to go there?
