Sail Date: Oct 2013

We sailed on Freedom for two weeks in October. If I'm honest it wasn't the best RCCL ship we've sailed on. The crew in the main were fine. Our stateroom attendant was the star of the ship. Nothing was too much trouble, from an extra towel to the odd early morning call. One member of staff who did get on my nerves was the cruise director Richard Spacey. How he can think that acting like he did is funny is beyond me. Walking up to the cantilever spa fully clothed in a suit and tie and climbing in to be videoed is far from funny. But I suppose different people have different senses of humor.

The entertainment wasn't up too much I'm afraid. The Royal Caribbean singers and dancers done some great shows but on other ships we sailed on had act's which would leave another ship to join our to preform. Beatles tribute, Elton John tribute and comedians to name a few. We didn't see a professional act whilst we were ther and the ships staff do it weekly, so what went on the first week went on the second week. The one professional act advertised in the cruise compass ( Nathan Osmond, nephew of Donny) didn't show up. Even on a sea day!

We done two 7 night cruises back to back and at the end of the first week we were required to leave the ship and go through customs to re board. It took all in all around 20 minutes, but this is where our trouble started. We were issued, as were the rest of the consecutive cruisers our new sea pass cards and boarded the ship before the rest of the new people arrived and so had the pool in the solarium pretty much to ourselves. On purchasing a couple of beers it became apparent that my wife's card was not working and the check had to be written manually, this went on throughout the evening with both hers and mine cards not being accepted electronically.
