The steakhouse was SUPERB! Other food was good except my friend had eggs shells in her eggs on Seaday Brunch.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The screen wasn’t operating so performers could not put on full production. They didn’t even wear costumes.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Freedom and Valor are awkward to get around on dues to the dining rooms on either end. The steakhouse was hard to find the first night.

Ship tip

Study layout; go to Steakhouse; look ahead for T-shirt sales. Had I known, I could’ve saved $$by not buying in port.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5

Didn’t do an excursion. You’ll find more local flavor if you turn right when you get to port.

Thumbs Up 6

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5

Skylift, Bobsled, and Zip Line: EXCELLENT! If your ship doesn’t dock early, you’ll have to contend with long lines. Eat in the restaurant upstairs for a spectacular view.
