Review summary

The only complaints I would have are that Freedom did not seem to have a designated area for smokers. Basically it seemed to be if you were outside on one of the decks you could smoke. So, walking by the pools, etc. you had a lot of second hand smoke to deal with. Also, the main dining room in the morning had a silly rule that men could not wear tank tops but women could wear anything or almost nothing. 🙄

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was great. We were traveling with family and had 4 balconies together on deck 8. Our room steward was kind enough to open the doors on the balconies so we could go back and forth from room to room.
