Review summary

I was happy with the ship but very disappointed that all of our original ports were canceled. Also they kept blaming it on to many employees with covid. This was not our fault as patrons

Piano bar was awesome, comedy was horrible due to the fact cruise passengers were not wearing masks. And even though they kept announcing it no one was enforcing it

I've noticed in that part of the Caribbean, the islands are locking down on their Port of Call restrictions, so this isn't surprising. It's unfortunate it happened, but it does happen. Hope you got your Port of Call fees and taxes backback, someone reported that another cruise line kept thier charges.

A blank profile doesn't mean the review is fake, it only means the user didn't take the time to fill out the details.

Unfortunately ports can reject a ship for numerous of reasons. This is not the ship’s fault, it is the decision of that ports government.

if you can't go with the flow that ports can be canceled especially right now with covid, you shouldn't be cruising. I'll be on the freedom in the 29th and I'm not expecting our ports to be made. it was the ports decision to not let the ship dock. not the cruise line

I’m sorry you were disappointed but with Covid around it’s certainly to be expected. A lot of ports are not allowing passengers to visit. You should have been aware of this possibility before you cruised.
