The Freedom was denied entry at two scheduled port during its voyage.
“They would never disclose how many [cases],” said the passenger.
Carnival Cruise Line confirmed several positive cases but dod not specify a number.
“They did everything they could to go out of their way to make sure we still had a fun trip,” said a passenger.

“We’ve had all of our shots and our booster shots, so we were pretty confident that we were going to be OK,” said a passenger.

They’re doing everyhting that they can do, and they did a fabulous job,” said a passenger.
