Freedom of the Seas
Sail date: May 27, 2007
My husband and I have cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past and have always been pleased and bragged about the cruise line and the ship (we love the voyager class ships). We were excited to spend our 20th anniversary aboard the largest ship in the world. We found the ship to be beautiful and packed with things to do, but it was difficult to do them because there were so many people. We stood in line a lot. If you were not at the Windjammer early for breakfast it was difficult to get a table, same for a pool chair on days at sea, seats in the theater for shows, and so on. Our dinning table (and I have always loved the dinning room) felt very cramped and was not much on romantic ambiance. We found the Windjammer in the evenings to be a much better atmosphere and peaceful. It felt as if the ship was just big enough to add staterooms for the additional 1,000 people but not much space was added to the ammenities (dining room, theater, ice rink, elevators etc.) to accomodate the additional people on board.
