Review summary

Overall I enjoyed celebrating my 30th birthday! I had definitely made me want to join another cruise, but just not this ship, I would like to find a ship with a little more activities.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was so smooth getting on the trip. We choose a 11-1130 embark time and we were on the ship by 12.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The main dining room food was okay, needed more flavor. The buffet style food was not good at all! The only food that was good was at the deli, guys hamburger and the steakhouse food was great!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
On freedom there isn’t much activities, the pools are tiny so they are always full, and the pool tables are missing items to play.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The dj’s were great at playing music for the whole crowd. They had time on the ship every day that you can listen to them play music by the bars. The club was fun as well.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff are so friendly, they know everyone by name. They make you feel at home. Danang was my stateroom attendant and he was amazing!!!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
It wasn’t that clean, it looked like they just wiped over dirt but didn’t really clean it. They turn over the ship very fast so that could be the reason. But the rooms are cleaned everyday so that made me feel better. I just wish the balcony was cleaner, I didn’t even enjoy it because of how filthy it was.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The size was great, the only downfall is my room was right above the club so I would hear the club music every night, it would wake me out of my sleep, and I’m a pretty hard sleeper.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
I went to an all inclusive resort which was great because the beach was filled with seaweed so we stayed by the pool and it was amazing. Food and drinks were nice!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We went to a local beach and was treated with so much love!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
They took forever to call out muster station, that we eventually just left. It wasn’t necessary.
