We chose this cruise because it was one of the few with remaining availabilities for our last minute booking, departing out of Barcelona. We were traveling with our parents who enjoy cruising. It's a highly ambitious itinerary, visiting 6 ports within 7 nights. I think this is a great option for active traveler who wants to pack as much as possible into a few days. Full disclosure - I've been to ...
Wow, what a great cruise, currently on this ship on the Transatlantic Crossing.
The ship is showing some wear and tear but is still enjoyable.
On this part we had an interior room and it was fine. Little details are missed like the rust on the waste containers and door edges but everything worked. Our cabin attendant moved our belongings to our next room without a hitch.
Dining was ...
Owning a Hotel ourselves, we are not difficult or demanding customers by any stretch of the imagination as we understand how difficult it can be to please all guests, but we do like our vacation time to temporarily remove us from the 24/7 stresses and strains of running our own busy Hotel, Restaurant & Function business. We have cruised a few times before with other Companies, but this was our ...
Recommended by friends.enjoyed the cruise especially the staff were very friendly and accommodated us very well. Hubert Johnson waiter was very friendly, also Deron restaurant assistant waiter very good as was the waiter Darwarman could not do enough for us. Did our own excursions which is a lot cheaper. Cabin found to be too small for three adults. Food lovely but not very hot and found to be a ...
This was to be our fifth Mediterranean cruise with Royal Caribbean. On this occasion disembarking from Barcelona and stopping at Marseille, Villefrance, La Spezia (Florence/Pisa), Citavecchia (Rome) and Naples. As we had visited each of these on previous cruises this time we didn't undertake any shore excursions. We knew what to expect from Royal Caribbean and the Freedom of the Seas didn't ...
We chose this cruise for the excellent ports that it visited...Barcelona, Naples, Civitavecchia, Marseilles, Nice, and LeSpezia. The rooms were nice although we were expecting a pull-out couch for our adult daughter rather than the very uncomfortable trundle pull down bed with a thin and hard mattress. Overall, the food in the dining room was very good. One night, the prime rib and fish were awful ...
Was asked by my friends to join them for the cruise.
The first days where ok. Then the problem started my visa gold card of the BOV bank of Malta was not excepted,my card from the Rabo bank no good. So the only option was to change Euros into Dollars for a rate 1Euro is 1.05 dollar very bad.
Then the prices for wine, beer etc. are rediculous, even the price of the special restaurants an ...
Booked this cruise with friends that have cruised together for over 15 years. 2nd time on Freedom of the Sea, very disappointed at organization, reduction in service and offerings Really felt like they were trying to get the most out of you for the least amount of quality. Stewards and waiters were very good.
Long lines for check in, asked for map of ship, no longer available, just a single ...
We chose the Freedom, love the ship. We had early dining with a wonderful waiter, Jay Narain. If you have the opportunity to request him, he is great! Always smiling, great attitude, couldn't have asked for better! The Beatle group was very good, Ben Mills, classic mix of songs was great and Hector with his magic was very good! The ice show was wonderful, you have to get there early or you will ...
This was not the cruise for those who enjoy a leisurely pace and lots of time on the ship. But it was perfect for us -- energetic travelers who wanted to see as much as possible in 10 days. It definitely delivered.
We were traveling with friends, celebrating our 50th birthdays. We spent an incredible week prior to the cruise in Barcelona and driving through the beautiful Pyrenees.
Our ...
