I planned our cruise over a year in advance and read so many of the reviews here. I hope that mine can help someone else!
We are from Ontario, just east of Toronto. We drove to Buffalo and flew to Orlando from there on Southwest. Our cruise didn't leave until the next day so I had booked us a room at the hotel that is right inside the Orlando airport, the Hyatt Regency Orlando International ...
Chose this cruise ( and itinerary) because we wanted to sail on the Freedom one more time before it was sent south. We have sailed on her many times, and she is still our favorite ship because of the size and features.... We were very pleased with the whole experience, except for the weather's interfering and changing our course. We are a senior couple, but we played golf, saw the ice show, and ...
We chose this cruise to celebrate our son's 16th birthday with the intention of having a nice, relaxing vacation and that we had!
The embarkation and debarkation was very smooth and effortlessly...
The ship is beautiful with plenty to do (we didn't have enough time). Great for teenagers and adults mostly. My teenagers were very occupied playing basketball in the court and walking around the ...
We will never sail on Royal Caribbean again. This was our 45th cruise and we have sailed on Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian and Holland America. We have never had an experience like we did on Freedom of the Seas. We have sailed on Royal Caribbean since 1990 so we are Crown & Anchor members. We traveled with our two daughters,- 24 and 19 years old, but they have never sailed Royal Caribbean so ...
We have sailed on this 4 times. This time in August. The new port is excelleent--easy on--easy off. The staff is friendly. Our room attendant was excellent as was our waiter. The menus have not been changed in years. Pork must be cheap because there is lots of it. The buffet is average.. The ice cream machine on deck 11 didn't work on the first day. The machine has two sides to get ice cream ...
We just came back from our 7 night (Labadee, Falmouth, Georgetown and Cozumel)cruise on the Freedom of the seas and we finally understand why there are more frequent negative reviews about this ship.
We are loyal to Royal Caribbean, however, this was our 6th (13th overall) and probably final time on the Freedom.
Staff:
Room Attendant was friendly and competent, however, he was not as ...
We choose this ship because we wanted to cruise out of Port Canaveral. We have been on more then 20 cruises and the Freedom of the Seas is one of the best.
Getting on the ship in Port Canaveral was quick and easy. On board, there are plenty of activities for all ages. We found the service to be friendly and focused on making our vacation experience one of the best. The stateroom attendant ...
Our second time on Freedom of the Seas. This time we took 8 people and splurged on the Presidential Suite (room 6414)! It did not disappoint. Loved the perks and the room. Yes, the view is a bit obstructed as the cabin is aft, but you can still see the ocean. We always enjoy the main dining room for our evening meals and getting to know our waiters. Why pay for specialty dining when great food and ...
I decided to write this review because we booked this cruise based on price and had read reviews after we booked so based on what I read I thought this was not going to be a great vacation but it absolutely was! So if you booked already, relax and get ready to enjoy a wonderful trip!
That said, here are my thoughts on the cruise and a few tips no one seemed to mention here in recent reviews. ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to leave out of Port Canaveral.
The embarkation process went very smoothly and we were on board the ship by 11:30.
The Freedom of the Seas is around 10 years old but is maintained very well. It is truly a beautiful ship. There is pretty much anything that you can want on board.
The service was better on this ship than others that we have sailed ...
