I had a baggage handler give me grief as apparently I didn’t tip enough. Literally had unloaded placed bag on curb gave him $3 and he said “ oh gee, thanks “. One bag a foot from the rack. Pissed me off.
This ship was the last cruise I took in the spring pre pandemic solo. Had a beautiful corner aft balcony room but got very sick from a flare. Doctor and care was great even though pricey. He was familiar with my little known condition. Didn’t get to explore much or eat so I’m glad you jumped aboard. There were 6 arrests after docked, 1 death I think and a few ppl had to be ER disembarked via illnesses/injuries when I was on it so our ports had to be shifted around. Def my oddest ever!
Found used needles in my room last July on that ship watch out, carnival did nothing basically told me sometimes guest leaves trash behind that the cleaning crew miss. I had to remind them It wasn’t trash it was medical waste big difference.
Wow! I have been on 6 cruises with Carnival and never a problem! Room always clean, no fights, etc. I hope I never do see unclean room or bad behavior.
I just noticed the movie screen on the Lido! Happy to see that, since I love the Dive in Movies! Maybe I will have to try the Freedom, one of these days!
I was on this ship when it caught of fire. The conquest had come to our rescue. So this year 2023, I cruised on it for four days. I’m still fond of the freedom. I promised that I will only cruise on Magic or bigger ships. The Conquest line isn’t bad but I wanting more in my surroundings. I will enjoy seeing your vlogs on this ship though. I hope your headache go away.
Hey! Great vlog! I was on The Freedom when it caught on fire. Carnival was amazing to us! I seriously didn’t know about the retractable roof over that pool!?
Even though this is now an old video its all new to me. I'll be on this ship on an upcoming cruise and was wondering how it looked being a little dated but from everyone's reviews on Freedom, they all enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing Jay! Happy Sailing.
The new(ER) ships r so beautiful but I sure do miss the atrium after sailing on the Vista. Going in the Panorama in 27 days too. Can’t wait to c the Celebration in October!
We were booked to sail on the Freedom just a few days after the fire last June.. we were totally disappointed but we got fully refunded and an FCC. We are now booked for spring break on the Liberty. ..so just a few short weeks before we are onboard again. 'yay'..We went on a superbowl cruise one time as well and it was a GOOD time! So..enjoy your time J~~
Whoop, Whoop Jay! I was on the Conquest this past Halloween and I treated myself to Seafood Shack! It was..... Soooo good!. I had the Buffalo Shrimp platter! I will try the lobster roll next cruise. LoL BTW, give Lauren my regards 🙂
I took 10 cruises last year. My last one was on the Freedom in Dec. The ship rocked the entire cruise besides in port, of course...it was like we were in the Amazing Race 🥴 I couldn't enjoy most of it. Even got my MDR dinner sent to my cabin. I couldn't even Vlog. The passengers were a hot mess... 😂 sheesh. I'm having flashbacks.
@@elouise5593 I'm not prone to it at all. It was just ridiculous how fast we were moving. We could not even have deck parties because of the pool water splashing all over the place.
Hi Justin! For a weekend cruise, that is a great price. Carnival is just not our "cup of tea" and we would rather save up for a longer cruise on a fancier ship (Celebrity class) but that's a few years away right now. Fun to see an older ship. Have a good weekend cruise!
Very informative and great content! We can always rely on you to tell us the truth of your experience. Thank you so much! Looking forward to the rest of your videos on this ship. 👏👍
Out of the 3 ships Dream class …Breeze is still nice ..the Dream is still nice…Last time I was on the Freedom out of Galveston ..my home port…it was aged and in need of refurbishment 😣Love your channel 🙌🏾
Thanks for doing this particular ship. Had been looking for good content and commentary on the ship before I book for NYE. Looking forward to the other videos you'll post while sailing her. This is very helpful. Have a great cruise Jay!
'Al though Im loyal to Roayl, Ive been on quite a few Carnival ships. I love the old design of those ships. That ship reminds me of the Inspiration and the Imagination. (Both have been retired and scrapped)
Hey Jay you keep saying Lauren is a vlogger herself, but you have yet tgat I’ve seen posted a link--bet some of us would be interested and up her subscriber count
I was literally just on that ship a week ago! And I find it hard to believe they’re taking speakers for no reason? They should only be taking them if you’re breaking the rules. Cause I need my speaker for when I’m at port.
Hi Jay!!! Love your content. Been following you for a while. We are going on Celebration in April and looking for a great beach / resort to hang for the day in San Juan and St Thomas. We’ve done many of the shore excursions before and hate the crowded beaches. Love those private areas or restaurants on a beach to chill. Any suggestions?
I just got off the Freedom a few weeks ago!!! I loved it

@@-Believeituz2kk no the sarcasm was dripping.
I love that you put the cruise price break down right at the beginning!
Queeny called you out Jay.😁 I know, I've been here from the beginning too. When you were talking about crew pay.

Woah
Conquest class ships are the BEST!!!!! Carnival Conquest is my favorite!
mine too!
This was the first ship ive ever been on and the first that started making me love cruising
Love the freedom it was the last ship I was on can’t wait for July I’ll be on the breeze and Mardi Gras next April 🔥 🔥 🔥
My 1st cruise was on the Breeze! Great ship!
I really do not get the dark wood ambiance. Seems to be a Carnival feature on the older ships I've sailed. Carnival - brighten it up!
I work at this port ,but only on Saturday. I have friends on this sailing 🙂
freedom is lit. was on it last year right before it caught fire and running it back in a few months!
J delivering as usual, good content primo
Did a B2B in December on Freedom. Had a great time! Shut down Alchemy once or twice, lol!
I love this ship, and I agree with you on the pizza.
Found used needles in my room last July on that ship watch out, carnival did nothing basically told me sometimes guest leaves trash behind that the cleaning crew miss. I had to remind them It wasn’t trash it was medical waste big difference.
That’s so gross and dangerous!!
Wow! I have been on 6 cruises with Carnival and never a problem! Room always clean, no fights, etc. I hope I never do see unclean room or bad behavior.
Aww too bad Lauren isn’t going with you but glad she’s doing her thing and you’re doing your thing! 😎 safe travels for both of you 🚢 🚗
i had the same cabin on the liberty.
good times
I just noticed the movie screen on the Lido! Happy to see that, since I love the Dive in Movies! Maybe I will have to try the Freedom, one of these days!

Superbowl cruise sounds Awesome
J
Bro you have THE LIFE!!!!
Another great video Jay. The Freedom is most def my favorite of the Conquest class. Looking forward to ship videos. Have a great cruise
Just went on this ship in January. Definitely check out the Freedom Rockband they are amazing
Love you, Jay…. Glad to see you again!
Hey! Great vlog! I was on The Freedom when it caught on fire. Carnival was amazing to us! I seriously didn’t know about the retractable roof over that pool!?
I spent 14 days on it and I did not know that lol😊
Always enjoy catching your show J.
I was on deck 1 on the Liberty and I didn’t mind the room at all.
Even though this is now an old video its all new to me. I'll be on this ship on an upcoming cruise and was wondering how it looked being a little dated but from everyone's reviews on Freedom, they all enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing Jay! Happy Sailing.
My first cruise was last year and it was on the freedom, I had a blast it’s so cool to see it again

I really enjoyed the Carnival Freedom. Been on it twice and it was my very first cruise. Enjoy the trip!
Any video with even a cameo by Lauren gets you a 👍
The carnival freedom has always been my favorite ship that is the ship that I compare every Cruise too
Is it bc of the size?
@@Mason-dq7cf nope just a over all great ship and the staff was fantastic
Yes this is my favorite ship in its class. If you’re an avid cruiser than you’ll understand why I say so!
Have fun Lauren! 😎
Whoop, Whoop Jay! I was on the Conquest this past Halloween and I treated myself to Seafood Shack! It was..... Soooo good!. I had the Buffalo Shrimp platter! I will try the lobster roll next cruise. LoL BTW, give Lauren my regards 🙂
Jumps in car, shades on and speeds off. She was a bit excited to get In That car alone.
Lolol
Hahahaha!
She was actually
@@jthenomad8093 I hope she's careful with your Tesla.
Explorin with Lauren! It has a ring.
Hey J, good to see you. Nice vlog.
The Freedom is our favorite ship. Loved the video.
Aww Jay you're should had test your luck in the Casino
Hey J, hope you had a good night sleep and woke up feeling better. Love your vlog.❤

December is probably not a good time to go cruising, if you are prone to seasickness. Sorry you had such a bad time!
@@elouise5593 I'm not prone to it at all. It was just ridiculous how fast we were moving. We could not even have deck parties because of the pool water splashing all over the place.
Thanks for this video! I will be on this ship with my son in June for his high school graduation gift. I’m excited 🎉
Thanks for posting this! I'll be on this ship August 19-24, stopping in Grand Turk and Bimini

Freedom is our favorite ship. Thank you for this video.
I am going on the Freedom Sept.21 to Barcelona.
Missed the vlogs! Hope the New Year is treating you well J!
Was waiting for this jay 💪🏾
Enjoy Carnival Freedom Cruise Ship 🚢 Beautiful ship 🚢 Thanks for sharing! 🚢
Very informative and great content! We can always rely on you to tell us the truth of your experience. Thank you so much! Looking forward to the rest of your videos on this ship. 👏👍
I went in august 2022 deck 1 interior next to elevator
Will be cruising this beauty on Halloween 🎉 first time cruising looks like you had a good time
The ship definitely looks a bit dated but also has a nice classic feel at the same time .
Great video! Looking forward to new content in 2023!
i really need to start going more than once a year.
headed on freedom in 18 days!
I always dig your content! Keep it up! 😄
Ha! I left a signed copy my book (Counting Raindrops…) in that library last August. Don’t know if it’s still there. But that library was FREEZING!!! 😂
Out of the 3 ships Dream class …Breeze is still nice ..the Dream is still nice…Last time I was on the Freedom out of Galveston ..my home port…it was aged and in need of refurbishment 😣Love your channel 🙌🏾
Thanks for doing this particular ship. Had been looking for good content and commentary on the ship before I book for NYE. Looking forward to the other videos you'll post while sailing her. This is very helpful. Have a great cruise Jay!
For me, I would NEVER book during a holiday. Too many kids and crazies on board. Have a blast but be readyD!
@Thomas Alexander I went for Christmas, and there weren't as many kids as there are on any usual summer cruise.
Less than 30 days before we board the Freedom. Glad to see the positive reviews on here.
Hope you feel better
I was on this ship in December. I loved both the Conquest and Freedom.
'Al though Im loyal to Roayl, Ive been on quite a few Carnival ships. I love the old design of those ships. That ship reminds me of the Inspiration and the Imagination. (Both have been retired and scrapped)
I miss this ship in Galveston. Sailed on her many times
Are they showing the Super Bowl on the Lido deck big screen?
I’m not sue but I hope so
You can either see the Super Bowl live, or on the Lido deck with a cruiser in hand and a blue blanket. You choose wisely! 👍
I can't wait to hear more about the super bowl cruise
I went on that ship few years ago
This is my favorite class of ship. My best cruises were the Conquest Freedom and Glory.
Another great video Brother
Thank you!
The guard sounds like Cookie Monster
Another awesome video love it
It makes me laugh that he calls it a Li-Berry 🍓 haha.
Great video. Love ocean view cabins.
Love the videos brother keep it up!!
Hi first time, you worked at cruise line.
What kind of cruise excursions do you recommend?
J enjoy your cruise
Been waitin fa dis 🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait to go on my first cruise 🎉
Hey Jay you keep saying Lauren is a vlogger herself, but you have yet tgat I’ve seen posted a link--bet some of us would be interested and up her subscriber count
man to get a $500 obc deal. Wonder if it's because you are a FL resident.
Had so much fun on the Freedom with our adult kids.
Dude, love the hat. I was on the Freedom last month for my first cruise ever, it was AMAZING. You always remember your first.
Need to book the freedom. Taking my time to hit them all
Jay, is that an accessible cabin? It's very spacious.
What is Lauren's blog and is it in French?
Talking about the US and cruise in French ☺️ I’m planning of having a secondary channel a some point in English
@@FRENCHYLO awesome. If I ever learn French I'm tuning in lol
@@FRENCHYLO girl put some closed captioning on there and I’ll still watch lol
Jay why dont you use drive assist (Not FULL self drive) not help :) with your Tesla?
I did
Does the carnival freedom have a basketball court on it?
I was literally just on that ship a week ago! And I find it hard to believe they’re taking speakers for no reason? They should only be taking them if you’re breaking the rules. Cause I need my speaker for when I’m at port.
I love 2 videos
Love Queenies Life!🫶🏾
Yay Lauren
Conquest class is my favorite but the Freedom was our least favorite of all ships we have been on, just seemed dated but we still had a good cruise.
What holder do you use to hold your phone/camera for recording?

Is the freedom that same size as the conquest?
Carnival is the BEST! Get yer PaRtY oN! 🍹
