Review summary

Overall a complete disappointment. Was very excited for the trip and I would have to say the crew made it one of the biggest waste of monies I have ever done in my life. Do not go on the Freedom!! Stay as far away from this ship as possible if you are looking for a good time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Got the cheers package and seemed like the drinks were watered down. Not to mention the waiters and barternders treated the ones with Cheers as second rate citizens. You would think if you paid the extra money for Cheers they would treat you better...no. they treat you like garbage.

The Chic Restaurant

The Head of the restaurant was about as rude as you can get. I had to go and ask him a question prior to dinner and he treated me like I was a moron. I was never on the ship prior so there was a lot of questions I had. the problem with this ship is all the staff has an arrogance about them, and they have some of the WORST people skills I have ever been around. Complete disappointment!

Ship Quality

Rooms smelled bad. The room across from us must of had water problems that leaked in the hall. Overall it seemed like the ship was filthy. Really disgusting.

Cabin / Stateroom

Bad smell. Air conditioner was poor and very small.

Ship tip

Don't book this trip. Spend your money elsewhere. If you like poor service and arrogance from everyone on this ship then this is for you.

One of the few things on the ship that were good. Seemed to go pretty quickly.
