Review summary

Our favorite part was Stingray City and snorkeling with the great crew (they are very nice and know what they are talking about) from Captain Marvin's group on Grand Cayman. Stingray City is amazing and they take pictures but they also let you take your own pictures!  Cozumel was very good too. We went swimming with the dolphins and seals but be prepared to spend lots of money on pictures. They don't let you take any of your own. Jamaica was third on the list. We went on the Enchanted garden, mini waterfall, and bird adventure. Our young guide (21) was very nice and knew his stuff, however just not that impressed with the area of the gardens and we found Jamaica a little less appealing and a little dirty. On the ship I wish they would make all smoking outside or in an all enclosed area because sometime the smoke is so thick you can't enjoy the singers and trivia games going on around the smoking areas. Overall the cruise was a good.

We only ate at the buffet (so-so) and we thought Guys burgers and the taco/burrito bar were great but you could only get this at lunch time.

How is the staff on the Freedom? We are going on it for the first time in September. We have been on the Triumph twice and it great both times. On the Liberty once and it was just ok. If the staff is friendly then the passenger are in a good mood, everyone is happy.
