Braised short ribs were yummy. (Main Dining) Also enjoyed the spaghetti carbonara. Tried Panna cotta for the first time. It was ok. As usual, Guy's Burgers were great

Service and Staff

Heru, our cabin steward was wonderful. Dining staff were very courteous, kind, and fairly quick. We had early (6 pm) dining.

Ship Quality

The Freedom could use a bit of sprucing up but overall, we enjoyed her.

Very clean and cozy.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

Pro tip: much clearer water at Jack's Shack rather than Margaritaville, which is directly off the ship. Just walk a bit further down the beach
