Review summary

Negatives: Room was dirty. Should have stayed an extra night in Nassau, one day was definitely not enough time. Lack of coordination with shipboard activities. The only evening shows were Comics. What happened to the Magic Shows? The Musicals? The Plays? Excursions are way overpriced, do yourself a favor and pick up a taxi.

Positive: Formal Dining was excellent in both food and services. They even had the service staff doing a little show after dinner! Nice to have the movie nights which included popcorn. Love the adult area!

The ship was clean and the design was easy to get around. It is time for some upgrades and refurbishments.

Room never got cool, it stayed around 78 degrees the whole time. Room was dirty, dusty, and glasses were filthy. TV was way too small.

Magicians are usually on the fantasy class ships. And believe you me that's where they need to stay. Get better magic at a kids bday party from a clown. Lol

There are musicals. Check your fun times. We watched a great one on the victory back in March. And the freedom is a bigger ship so I'm sure they were there. Just gotta watch for them.

Musicals and plays? Never heard of that. I think we've seen one magician over the last 10 cruises or so. Their difficult to follow in such a large setting which is why the don't have them much. The main theatre has singers/dancers and such every night. Check the Funtimes.
