Review summary
This cruise was both good and bad. Good because I traveled w family and friends. Bad because the weather was cold and cloudy - not Royal Caribbean's fault! The staff was extremely friendly & courteous. My room steward and dining staff were extraordinary!! I am a Canadian Club drinker and had to search for bars to accommodate me. Now that I am diamond, I hope to see CC in the diamond lounge! The embarking & disembarking processes were absolutely horrific! RC needs a lot of organization help and I mean LOTS! There was never enough seating in the Bolores nor the Star lounges. Surely, RC can find other accomadations for these popular spots. Our chef was great at cooking meat, but horrible at cooking fish! Yuk! Entertainment was fair at best w the exception of the ice show. It was magnificent!!! Some singers were sooo loud my eardrums were vibrating! Pianoist and violinist were superb! I love trivia, but it always conflicted w my other activities, like dinner! My first and last transatlantic cruise!

We have sailed on Freedom of the Seas out of Port Canaveral on several occasions with the embarkation and disembarkation there being absolutely wonderful. Our next Cruise, on Allure, is out of Fort Lauderdale and we had seen decent reviews on that port. So can you, or anyone else, elaborate about the Fort Lauderdale embarkation?
