Caribbean Freedom of the Seas Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I wanted to get away for a few days around Thanksgiving. I’ve been on several RCCL cruises, and let me tell you, the thing you look for is the itinerary! This one has attracted a LOT of crazies and a lot of kids who are allowed to run up and down the corridors, slamming doors and yelling at all hours of the night. The people in the suite next to me have zero consideration for others and are VERY ...

Just got home from the Freedom of the Seas July 31, 2023 cruise from Miami. I have been cruising over 50 years with 6 different cruise lines and while I always found RCL to be a class above most other cruise lines I find I can no longer boast of RCL’s top notch status. Yes, I realize as an older person I recall the days of excellence and being spoiled while cruising and find it sad our younger ...

The staff were great and the nightly performances were good and Coco Cay was nice, when not too crowded. Outside of the main dining room, nearly every meal disappointed. First time cruiser, but under the impression they’re trying to make up lost profits by force feeding you rock hard fruit, waxy cheese, juicy-drink concentrate, and soapy bacon(?) First red flag was a $16 martini with a couple of ...

I am a cruiser 20+ cruises 62 year old and very easy going. Obviously going on that many cruises, problems have occurred. I said mostly Disney and Celebrity. Good: staff was amazingly friendly and did their best being understaffed. (Except Guest services..Will explain in bad section). Windjammer surprising ok. I am Not a buffet person but was muc better than main dining. Specialty dining ...

Overall the cruise was the opposite of relaxing, the staff gave conflicting and often wrong information about what is included and free and what is not. Salespeople aggressively hounded us so we couldn't relax in the promenade area during the bad weather. Everywhere we went including the restaurants we were aggressively pushed to tip over and above the prepaid gratuities. Even at reduced ...

We had a fairly good vacation on The Freedom of the Seas. It was our first RC cruise and even though we love cruising, we're not sure if we'll book another with RC. I had originally booked another boat and bought tickets to Coco Cay at a very good price. The company swapped boats and cancelled my Coco Cay tickets. When I asked if I could get them for the same price again, they refused so I had to ...

We chose the cruise for a family vacation. The cruise staff was good, attentive. The headliners were good; great stand up comedy. But, the ship is extremely dated, dirty and in visible need of repairs. We were told that the ship will be remodeled. So RC is probably very aware of the deplorable condition of the ship and just doesn’t care. Lately and in my experience with RC is that it’s all ...

I have not had a cruise in four years and was so ready to have a great time. I had a good time but not too much on the ship. I had a lot of firsts on this cruise. We were in room 7566......DO NOT STAY IN THIS ROOM IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MOLD!!! As soon as we walked in the room my nose started to burn. After investigating, when you walk out the cabin door you can look to the right and see ...

Have sailed with RC several times over the years as well as a few other lines..On Adventure several times, was always a great experience in all aspects .Also had been on Mariner as well as Liberty..All great. How ever decided on Freedom due to itinerary .Which in itself did not disappoint. The Cabin was a balcony..balcony always dirty never cleaned, also toilet, never cleaned , ...

We decided to book back-to-back 7 day cruises (14 days starting 9-15-19) with our adult sons everyone with their own cabin. The first 7 day cruise, San Juan to Barbados and back to SJ, went as planned and expected and we have had fun on previous Royal cruises. We plan our own scuba diving shore excursions and they went well. Cabins small but workable. We don't stay in our cabins much anyway. ...
