Review summary

Don't recommend, as we know cruising keeps getting worse but this one was one of the worse in the last ten years. No more Royal Caribbean for me I'll give Celebrity a try, I know they are part of Royal Caribbean I just feel I need to be fair.

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Main dining room Ok, Windjammer terrible, at time left half the food on the plate. Limited variety, bland, terrible presentation, I've had better food at the hospital

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

None to speak of. You know the Art auction, as if this was an activity you want to attend.

Bad review with no details, imagine that. This is a person who will not be pleased with anything. Other cruisers on the same sailing, rated it fives across the board.

We were on same time and had the opposite experience. Windjammer is ok but dinning room was very good each night. The shows including ice show the headliners and the production shows were all very good. Crew were all friendly and helpful. Not sure if you're the person that should be cruising.

Had a good time. Food was so-so; nothing great. We enjoyed the diamond lounge as diamond members. Itineraries are great. Do try celebrity. I’ve been 8 times. Always do aqua class.

Wow! We had a great time in January on the Freedom. Our waiter & our room steward couldn’t do enough for us! We are coming back & would recommend this ship to everyone!!
