Freedom of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was the first cruise for our grandchildren but my husband and I are diamond members of RC. We flew from Atlanta, Ga to Orlando in which I had reservations with Orlando Chauffeured Services to pick us up at the airport. Our driver was waiting on us at the baggage terminal in Orlando and helped us to the car with our baggage. Wonderful service and I give them five stars. It took a while to board the ship but that is expected. Big ships take a while to get everyone on. We liked the extra service we received as crown and anchor members getting on board.
Our grandchildren loved the Adventure Ocean Club and looked forward to going there every night from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. They had themed activities several nights and the kids looked forward to them. There were plenty of activities on the ship that the kids loved. The flow rider and the ice skating rink were just a few that they loved. The only thing they were not so excited about was having to dress for dinner each night and having to wait for the food in the dinning room. I thought they would be picked up each night early while we were dinning to go to the club but it was never offered to us.
Our first stop was Coco Cay and we had such a good time. If you have children go ahead and reserve the aqua park/water slide. Well worth the money. Our grand kids spent one hour at the water park which was plenty of time and they could slide all day on the slide. And they did that. Five stars. The tickets were waiting on us when we got to our room the first day and we did not have to stand in a line to get a ticket. Our next stop was St. Thomas which we just stayed on our own and shopped. Our next stop was St. Martin in which we went on the Seaworld Explorer excursion. It was a nice excursion and we saw lots of fish and turtles in which the kids loved. The ride there and back was not bad and did not take to long. They stopped at an open air market and let us shop for about 45 minutes on the way back and we enjoyed that also. Wonderful weather, service and a great family vacation.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
We had adjoining rooms in which really came in handy. They opened up the balcony slide door to which we had a large balcony. The two rooms were plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children, ages 10 and 8. Clean, wonderful service. Our stateroom attendant was there for all our needs.
