Big time for Carnival Freedom Crew. Carnival Freedom will undergo an extensive cleaning after ship is reported to go in Code Red with GI symptoms. Ship is returning this Sunday in Port Everglades. Now it’s up to management and especially crew to bring things in ship shape with Bleach 1000ppm and Microbac.
