This was our second cruise on the Freedom. Our first out of Galveston. I truly believe the whole cruise from Galveston was a little more layed back then the cruise from Fort Lauderdale. Though this was a good cruise they seemed to just put a little more sparkle on the Ft Lauderdale cruise. The food choices were better. As far as dancing. The Freedom does not have the best dance floors. The Habana dance club could be used for better dance venues. Overall this will b my last cruise on the Freedom. We did cruise on the Sunshine this September and was very pleased. I must add the Alchemy bar and Guys burgers are tops on all ships. Hope to see you all on our next cruise. Embarkcation was excellent. We had FTF and we were on the ship in 20 min. Demarcation was just a little longer Activities were plenty could use more on port days but it's nice to have the ship to yourself. Cabin with balcony was very spacious and it was decorated for our anniversary nicely. Gym was fantastic we used it every day. We are frequent cruisers so we didn't get off the ship on port days We ate in the dining room every night the food choices were good. Better on the Florida dealing. The steak house dinner was excellent though my husbands rib eye could have been better See you New Yesrs Eve. On the Breeze
