Freedom of the Seas Review

Additional details
Please forgive my review, I write reports at work that have to be very matter of a fact. So years of that has drained my creativity, but I will try to make this not boring.
My wife and I have sailed on Carnival several times and we have always enjoyed the cruises. But we really wanted to try Royal Caribbean to get a feel for the experience. We went with two other couples and sailed from Puerto Rico to the southern Caribbean from September 15th to September 22nd. We went to St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados.

Cabin Review
Port Reviews
San Juan
I give San Juan 4 stars because they are still recovering from a hurricane. I can't fault Royal Caribbean or the people for that. I know there has been issues with corruption and other things hampering recovery. Everyone was lovely but remember San Juan is still a work in progress, you will see a lot of abandoned buildings, damaged infrastructure, rusted out cars, ect.
St. Thomas
Aside from San Juan, it was the biggest port. They have cheap buses at port to get you around.
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Beautiful island. The town is just outside of the port. As stated in my review, these islands aren't necessarily my cup of tea for a cruise so I'm not going give them a bad review for simply not being what I'm looking for in a cruise.
Antigua
Ugh, it was pretty but the taxi drivers are annoying. I wish we did an excursion here to avoid all that.
