Carnival Freedom

Carnival Freedom has a message for you, and its "feel free to have fun!" Explore the ship and you'll find food options galore, starting with two dining rooms, but definitely extending outdoors — there's mouth-watering Guy Fieri burgers at Guy's Burger Joint, plus the greatest tacos and burritos this side of the pier at BlueIguana Cantina. For delicious, but quick and easy, selections from the sea, get your chopsticks around all the good stuff at Bonsai Sushi Express.

For every great food spot, there's a great place to enjoy drinks, too, from the toe-tapping Scott's Piano Bar to the always-hoppin' 70's Nightclub. For the thirsty, libation hotspots include Alchemy Bar® and the place we all gather to raise very important toasts: Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge. Everybody's favorite outdoor seaside bar is here... whether yours is the RedFrog Rum Bar® or BlueIguana Tequila Bar. (Or hey, make it both!) The rum bar's older brother, RedFrog Pub®, features drinks, live music and traditional pub games. Topping off adult-time is Serenity — adult-only, of course — the retreat where total relaxation is not only encouraged, but pretty much required.

If you're a kid, Carnival Freedom means you're in for a treat. Not only will you find new friends at one of three youth spaces — like Camp Ocean® — but you can splash around with them in one of our many pools, speed down a waterslide at Carnival WaterWorks, or once you dry off, challenge them to a round of mini-golf. Oh, and adults — don't get jealous; your inner kid gets to do all this stuff too!

Up on stage is Playlist Productions, featuring songs you know... and dance moves you'll soon be using.

And for the cherry on top... it's actually called Cherry On Top. It's the spot for something special, whether that something's a little something sweet — or simply a little something to sweeten a special occasion.

Itinerary:

Day 1: Depart ORLANDO
 
As the home of Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral is the launching point for all-out adventure in Central Florida. Its beaches offer a mix of family-friendly shores and secluded swaths of sand. And with Orlando’s theme park sprawl only an hour away, you can easily mingle with your favorite characters. Beyond the parks lie equally amusing gems packed with Old Florida character. Kayak past manatees in the Banana River Lagoon and zip line above alligators at Brevard Zoo. Discover notable art museums and Park Avenue’s ritzy charm. Cruises from Port Canaveral give you access to trace the region’s roots at the Orange County Regional History Museum.
 
 
Day 2: Fun Day at Sea
No port today! It's a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
 
 
 
 
Day 3: Half Moon Cay
 
After you see the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters, it's no surprise to learn that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island. But it held the title for more than 20 years… and you don't earn that type of respect without having great ways for visitors to really make the most of paradise.

So grab a Carnival cruise to this exclusive destination, and from your first toe in the sand you’ll understand why it’s anything but typical. All the excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pauses for a bit, opening up your vacation to a private island experience.

Cozy up and lounge with your someone-special in a clam-shell, a shady hideaway for two. If you’re looking for more private stretch-out space there are cabanas and villas to rent. And who can resist the siren’s call of an expert massage by the beach?

You know, relaxing is encouraged at Half Moon Cay... but against this lush backdrop there’s still so much to do! Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback on powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky-smooth stingrays.
  • See the island’s incredible scenery from atop horseback.
  • Compare swim strokes with the island’s gentle stingrays.
  • Find plenty of room to enjoy nature with over one mile of white-sand beach.
  • Enjoy the buffet at the updated lunch venue… with drink in hand.

Day 4: Celebration Key
 
Now — for the first time ever! — we're building a new destination from the ground-up. And this one, nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island, is designed exclusively for Carnival guests. It's perfect for adults, families with kids… everybody who appreciates fun and exploring natural beauty.

What you'll find there is just like Carnival's onboard vibe that folks love. When your ship pulls up, the vacation possibilities are expanded with unique island-style fun, relaxation and adventure spread across 65 acres and five “portals” for you to explore. Each portal is distinctly different, made for another side of Carnival fun… plus get ready for unforgettable experiences like a mile-long white sand beach, the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, local Bahamian flavors and shopping, an adult-only beach club, plus excursions and more.

Celebration Key™ opens in summer 2025, but look for more details soon!

 Based on publicly available data of surface area measurements as of 01/22/24.
  • Paradise Plaza greets you with live music and helps you find your way to all the fun that’s still to come… like maybe that Suncastle in the distance?
  • The atmosphere at Calypso Lagoon is lively… and chill! This portal is designed for adults and features a swim-up bar, dining spots, a DJ island, plus plenty of ways to relax.
  • Starfish Lagoon is perfect for kids, teens and families, featuring a splash pad, sports courts, designated beach, dining spots, game pavilion and more.
  • Pearl Cove Beach Club is the adults-only spot that takes luxury to the next level with an infinity pool, private beach access, elevated dining, the best views of Bahamian waters and more.
  • The Retail Portal, known as Lokono Cove, is a colorful showcase of Bahamian culture featuring local art, live music and flavors, plus artisanal goods, duty-free jewelry and more great shopping.

Day 5:  ORLANDO
Buckle up for big adventure on the Space Coast when you book a Carnival cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida. Fun in the sun is a mission easily accomplished in Port Canaveral: before or after your cruise, take time to blast off from the Kennedy Space Center, hug the turns in a stock car at the world famous speedway, and zoom through the screaming roller coasters of Orlando's theme parks. In addition to all these man-made thrills, cruises from Port Canaveral depart from a coastline of sugary sand beaches and protected islands for native wildlife.
  • See a rocket up close at the Kennedy Space Center.
  • Walk the bustling Cocoa Beach boardwalk before your cruise from Port Canaveral.
  • Encounter exotic animals and exciting adventures at Disney's Animal Kingdom® park.
  • Enjoy an exciting wildlife and alligator tour by airboat.
