You have to make reservations for the shows. The show CAT was canceled on us TWICE. One night we had NO show. The other was a put togther show.You have to pay for the sauna on this ship.The food was great as always. The staff in the main dining room were great also in the other places. We will go on more Royal Caribbean again but will look for another ship. So far the Freedom is the best. We were in room 3817 and the staff was great. The entertainment staff and the cruise director were good. He was funny and entertaining. We liked the water show the best. The port in San Juan was not that great. We would like to go to St. Thomas better. There is more to do in St. Thomas. St. Martin is great with lots to do and see. We like the beaches in both St Thomas and St. Martin.So if you want to go to the beaches then go to these ports.
