Freedom of the Seas Review

Additional details
Embarkation was easy as we are Crown & Anchor and we got right onto the ship. The ship itself is very pretty and seems to be kept in good shape. Our cabin was a decent size but we found the mattress very hard. They are new, and they are ok if you like sleeping on a board. The railing on our balcony was thick and cut off our view of the horizon when we sat on the chairs. Freddie kept our cabin in great shape and we received everything we asked for.
The food on this cruise was well below par. Most diners were good, but all other meals were worse than cafeteria food. The entertainment was extremely good. We attended most of the shows, and they were all very entertaining. Service was good all around the ship, however, they could use more help.
As we have been many times to St. Thomas we did not get off the ship. Took the city tour to St. Martin. Good tour, but had to wait a long time in the baking sun to walk about two football fields to the waiting tour buses. No shade at all on the pier.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Nice size. Hard mattress. Plenty of storage space. Very small but efficient bathroom. If you are a large person I don't know how you even fit into the shower. Thick balcony railing which obstructs the view of the horizon when sitting in the chairs. Can see straight down to the water, no lifeboats obstructing the view, which I did like.
Port Reviews
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
About a 45 minute drive from Orland Airport. Not very scenic.
