Review summary

This was our 5th Cruise.  We enjoyed all of the ports and our excursions we planned.   We have cruised on the Independence of the Seas-which is the sister ship to Freedom.  Our room was facing the front of the ship on the 12th floor.  Very nice room - lots of storage space, great view, etc.  The only bad thing I have to say about the room was it seemed to have more swaying with the ship being in the front.  You felt more movement.  We were a little disappointed in the shows and lack of parades.  We did not go to any of the big shows - not our interest.  We did go to a few other shows like Love and Marriage.  For us, we choose My Time dining and we did have some problems getting in to eat before a show.  We missed some shows because of that. I would probably do it different next time with My Time dining.  Otherwise, we all really liked the ports and excursions.  One last thing to comment on is we think there should be a change in the excursions.  Some of the people on the excursions would be sort of rude and not listen to the hosts.  They took as long as they wanted and made everyone wait.  The change I think should happen is they stick to the time frame and it people are not ready or etc - leave without them.  One excursion was suppose to be 3 hours but ended up being over 4 hours and some of the people on the excursion had other excursions planned and they missed it.  Otherwise the excursion were a lot of fun.  Take the cruise and have fun!!

Lots of storage but being on the front of the ship - facing forward - lots of movement or swaying.
