Freedom of the Seas

Enjoyed it very much, would do it again. Freedom of the Sea's did a wonderful job in all areas. They were quick to have someone with Purell hand cleansing liquid on hand in the eating areas as well as when we disembarked and returned to the ship.

Very comforting and beautiful cruise - relaxing - well worth it

Because the ship sailed out of Puerto Rico, 90% of the people on the ship were Puerto Rican/spanish speaking and the whole cruise/activities seemed to center around that. We felt like outsiders most of the time. We went to a line dancing class which ended up being latin dancing, for example. We won't choose that as a destination to leave from again.

We enjoyed the ports we visited and the excellent service from the staff in the main dining room. Did not appreciate people trying to sell us something everywhere on the ship and definitely did not appreciate the rude Spanish-speaking passengers who had no regard for others. This cruise was expensive due to it being over New Year's and it was definitely not worth the money. On our other cruise, we enjoyed the steel drum band at the pool playing Caribbean music. On this cruise, we did not have that. It seemed it was not about the Caribbean experience, rather it was about the Latin experience instead. Not what we thought we signed up for.

this was a welcome improvement over last year, only minor issues, but will travel Royal again. for what it is worth, I wish that they would decrease the emphasis on specialty dining, and reemphasize the main dining venues
