Fourth cruise, third with RCI. First time on Freedom OTS and first time on this size ship. LOVED THIS SHIP !! Not too big and not too small. Not a problem getting around and most of the time did not seem too crowded. We are mostly casino and pool deck folks and both did not disappoint. If you expect a lot of room on the smoking side of the pool deck, forget it. But we already knew that and had a good attitude...had a blast !! Met lots of great people and found almost everyone was generous in sharing empty chairs. Shows were great. Ship was clean and shiny and seemed that someone was always touching up or cleaning. Captain was funny and staff were all polite and friendly. Had a couple of problems in the Windjammer, but found a supervisor and problems were more than taken care of. That is the key...ALWAYS let someone know if you have a problem, and if that someone doesn't address the problem, ask for their supervisor. If you don't speak up, you can't get results. Awesome cruise !!
WOW ! First time in a JS. SO MUCH ROOM !!!! Walk in closet, bathtub, large balcony. I am blown away and now spoiled unfortunately !! This cabin was perfect. Close to elevators, quiet and spacious.
Embarkation and debarkation easy breezy !! Nice port and great hotels nearby. We parked at the port and got a 40% off parking coupon from the Days Inn at the Cocoa Beach Pier.
Labadee is beautiful. Clean and relaxing. We loved the coaster ! Lunch was good. Relaxed on loungers in the shade. Rocky bottom in water, but was beautiful and calm. LOVED LABADEE !
