Our first cruise on Royal Caribbean, all our previous cruises (5) had been on Celebrity. I thought the Freedom of the Seas compared well with our previous Celebrity experiences, and and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Hectic, but organized. We arrived very early to embark; just after Royal Caribbean opened the doors.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate in the main dining room for supper (all 13 of our party together) and the Windjammer for breakfast and lunch. Food was fresh, good quality, and prepared well.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Most of our party spent time around the pools. The only issues I had were with two classes (Mixology and Martinis) that I tried to attend and could not (first class was full when I arrived), and the second (after I arrived 30 minutes early) was cancelled because there were too few people.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Comedian/Magician; Singer/Entertainer; Comedian were very good. Musical productions were pretty good.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All very friendly and helpful; our evening waiter and assistant waiter forged a close bond with us during the trip.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Plenty of room in the cabin; several of our party had adjoining rooms, so we had our steward open the balcony dividers in between; we did our own happy hour each evening with our group.
