Just for you to have an idea, every night I had to wind up at the pizza shop. That’s how bad the service was

On her right now,and all is well with the exception of a very lackadaisical cabin steward....food in the MDR has been quite good and Sabor specialty restaurant is AWESOME

We just went on the freedom in March and it was the best cruising experience we have had yet! The staff for us was incredible. That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinions based on their own experiences, but I hope that you don't completely rule out cruising or RC foe your future vacations. I think you would be missing out! Either way, thanks for writing a review.

Your saying this with one cruise under your belt. Your profile shows you have no cruises and yet you judge, what are you comparing this ship to?🤔
