Review summary
This was our third time on the Freedom of the Seas and were so excited to be able to go due to hurricane Matthew passing Florida instead of landing there.
The personnel aboard could have not been nicer and accommodating. However, we had the unfortunate treatment by bartenders as they were more than willing to help the males and ignore females and their wanting to place an order. We were really disappointed with the lack of perks we were use to getting aboard Royal Caribbean ships. In addition, the food was really disappointing (except for the main dining room). Soups were watered down. Instead of serving orange juice or mango juice it was yellow water to look like orange juice and mango water in the Windjammer Cafe.
We as stockholders were very disappointed. Hope this helps.

We have had 3 cruises on Freedom of the Seas and would go back anytime. Sorry about your experience, but if you did not register your disappointment on the ship the opportunity to make it better during your cruise was unfortunately lost. We have cruised on Carnival, NCL, Princess (before Carnival's purchase) and RCCL and find that all have strengths and weaknesses. We find that constructive suggestions and realistic expectations, with the ship staff or the cruise line, not just complaints, have resolved the great majority of disappointments or given them the opportunity to offer some type of compensation.
