Review summary

Freedom of the Seas is a great ship!  Did not feel crowded at any time.  Beautiful Promenade Deck, the dining rooms are pretty, shows were good, lots of bars and places to pick up a snack.  The reason I gave this cruise 4 stars is because of the stop in St Kitts.  The port is full of shops but the town is not inviting.  We turned around about 2 blocks into the town, not real comfortable with the surroundings.

I agree with the earlier comment that you should not lower the ships rating because of a port.  You can  communicate directly with the cruise line about issues with the port.

 

You did identify that it was the port that you had an issue with.  So we here on cruiseline.com got the benefit of your concern with the port from your remarks and from your rating of the port, so thank you for the information.

Thenford Grey tours in St Kitts, by far the best island tour we have ever been on. I know what you mean about town right outside the cruise port, but getting to see the whole island on a tour would probably change your mind

I agree with capttrips. Keep in mind ships run different itineraries and change home ports from time to time so lowering a rating for a ship based on one port you didn't like doesn't seem fair to the ship.

You should take a tour there, it's wonderful, people are friendly! Much better than Nassau or Jamaica in my opinion.
