Review summary

We just got off the Freedom yesterday 😢 we had an AMAZING trip!! The Freedom was a GREAT ship and the crew top notch. We stayed in cabin 8441 which was super conveniently located... only a few times did we hear deck chairs being moved around on the deck above. We had early dining in the Posh dining room and were blessed to have an aft window table, we got to see the sunset every night. Food throughout the ship was GREAT and drinks were yummy & strong. And to make it even better, lines were never long, which we were shocked since it was a Spring Break Cruise. With this being a full ship sailing, we were pleasantly surprised that all the common areas never felt “crowded”... we were VERY happy with the Freedom. There was a post a few weeks ago saying it “reeked of smoke”, we did not have that experience, only in the casino and to our delight even there it wasn’t all that bad (and we are very sensitive to it). We had ports in Cozumel, Belize and Roatan, here was our experience: Cozumel: we had booked our “original” excursion with Carnival (Cenote Hopping) BUT due to the ferry’s not running we cancelled that one and booked “plan B” excursion with shoreexcursioneer (deluxe Catamaran, snorkel, Jeep Island tour), we arrived and waited 45 minutes for our tour guide and they NEVER SHOWED!! We then decided to move onto our “plan C” and took a taxi to SkyReef resort, we did the all inclusive package, $65 per adult, and enjoyed AMAZING food, drinks and entertainment all day. The service was GREAT!! We swam/snorkeled and saw a lot of pretty fish (not much of a reef though). FUN day!! Belize: we booked with cave-tubing.com and from beginning to end had a BLAST! The entire crew was GREAT and what hard workers they are!! One of the guys told us he had a 3 hour ONE WAY commute to work each day!! This was our second time doing this excursion and LOVED it just as much as first time. The cave system and jungle is beautiful and we really enjoyed getting to see some of BEAUTIFUL Belize. Hands down one of our most FAVORITE ports of call, you get to experience the lovely people and culture, without it being “Americanized”. Roatan: we booked the fun-n-sun tour with Boddan Tours, our guide Anna was AMAZING!! We got to see all around this LOVELY Island. We were thrilled to get to hold monkeys, sloths and large macaws. Our last stop was at the Bananarama resort, we enjoyed a nice lunch and swam in the pristine water. A few in our group walked down and enjoyed the AMAZING reef just off shore.
