Review summary

My husband, son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren (16 & 19), and myself all had a wonderful time on this cruise.  The ship is beautiful. This was our second trip on the Freedom.  Our waitstaff and room steward were terrific!!!  The crew were visible and interactive.  The Captain was on deck more than once.  This was a nice touch.  The ship needs more pop machines and the ones there need to be in working order.  The show times were not convenient for us with a late dinner unless we went to the early show.  Not always an option.  We did see the ice show and I highly recommend it.  It was a lot of fun.  Great entertainment.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was clean and the steward did a fantastic job. What a hard worker!! Could not walk up either side of the bed. Had to get in bed from the foot of it. It was tight but enough room as we weren't often there except to shower, dress and sleep.

Ship tip

Even if you do not want to try the flo-rider or climbing wall, be sure to go and watch others. It was a lot of fun to root others on!

We loved this stop. Great beaches and the tram made it easy to get around. There was shopping if you wanted to look around the shops. The lunch line was very long and it was hot waiting in the sun. We had a great day and would love to go back to Labadee.

Cozumel, Mexico

Be sure to see Chankanaab Park. You can easily spend the day there. There is so much to do! You can swim in the ocean or pool. The snorkeling is great, there are restaurants. and you can swim with dolphins, manatee, or sea lions. Loved it.

Your cruise sounds great.  Thanks for posting your first review here.  I ran into the same issue with a long line in the hot sun in Laberdee.  They need to do something about that.  It was completely uncalled for.  Get more shade there before someone gets dizzy and falls.  Do it before a lawsuit.  It was really hot and I waited a long time too. Late diners are suppose to go to the early show, that's why they have that first show.
