19 of us went on the Freedom of the Sea for my daughters 30th Birthday. This cruise could not have been better. We sailed June 23rd to June 30th. 5 islands, minimal sea days (1), planned excursions to perfection (thank you Judy Collins), the ship is beautiful. The food is excellent, the staff is top notch and accommodating. Our dining room experience created memories for a lifetime - thank you Raluca Gheniou, we miss her already!!!! The shows were just perfect for all ages which we spanned 11 months old to 87 years old. I can’t wait to go on my next Royal Caribbean.
The casino are run very well. I had fun playing tables. Slots do not hit that much. Maybe raise that a bit.
Parades for the kids were wonderful. They loved them. Need a General Store open for personal needs 24/7 on floor 5. Found that to be a problem.
Clean, cabin staff excellent. Mattress was very hard. Water was not that hot most days. I would recommend the balcony room next time. That was beautiful. Felt more open.
