Review summary

Overall, the experience was good. The ship itself needs major renovations. First arrived to a not so tidy room. I don't blame the cleaning lady as the ship gets patrons on and off like cattle. The most annoying part is the nickel and dining Royal  Carribean feels they have to do..automatic gratuities on everything..even ordering juice..wow..anyway, the ports were amazing. My favorite being Puerto Rico. Just wish we had more time to explore. Less cruising days and more port days would have made it awesome..Getting off the ship the last day took 3 hours. NO ORGANIZATION!!!  I'd probably cruise again on a different line and for less amount of days..

Needs major renovations? Are you sure you were on the Freedom?

You do know that other cruise lines do the same as far as automatic gratuities.
