Review summary

I don't think the staff could've been better if they tried. They really made the trip. Especially since the boat caught on fire. . . the staff really came through to keep everyone calm, safe, and still keep us happy.

I had a balcony, it was awesome. Plus our cleaning giy kept everything in order throughout the day, s it was always nice and clean.

Ship tip

Room service is... Wait for it... FREE! Okay, so there's a tiny fee if you order at really weird times like midnight-6 am or something (I don't remember the exact times), but it was awesome. Nothing like room service to serve as your wake-up call in the morning, with coffee. =)

They were installing some kind of scrubber system and maybe a spark from the welders ignited the fire. You wouldn't believe how much work behind the scenes is going on during each cruise!

Freedom of the Seas is the best. Casey and the captain and crew were wonderful.

Don't shy away from Royal Caribbean by any means. We also had a bad experience on the Enchantment but the people and guest services more than made up for it. We would not sail on Enchantment and did in fact leave but we have sailed on the Freedom of the Seas as well as other RCL ships and would highly recommend this cruise line. Give them another chance.....it will be worth it but pick a newer ship.
